I'm hooked! Recently, I've read it's better to use butter for cooking eggs in a pan versus using oil for a reason similar to what happened in this chapter
I'm not really sure about the explanation the teacher gave but when cooking with stainless steel you do want to achieve the Leidenfrost effect in which the surface of a droplet water immediately evaporates on contact with the pan. There's some stuff about it on this page.
That said doing it with a non-stick coated pan seems dangerous because of the toxic vapors. Speaking of which, if you have a non-stick pan where the coating is peeled or scratched, replace that ASAP.
Nice art, fun characters and concept, engaging execution, bonus points for including food science= winner of a series by my tastes, will be following updates with great interest
