Tip: How to flip your food in a pan (video)

So you’ve probably watched a cooking show and wondered how the chefs flip the stir fry in the pan with one hand.  Well, you can learn how to do it too, with a little practice of course… I did!

Here’s a video from Ming Tsai that teaches you how.  I would recommend using uncooked pinto beans (or a bean similar in size) if you want to practice indoors, because you may screw up a few times and have a bunch of beans to pick up.  Speaking of which, don’t use rice, despite what Mr. Tsai recommends, because you’ll need to break out the vacuum if you mess up.  Better yet, try this outdoors.

Have fun!

Let us know in the comments if you have any other tips on how to do this.

    Great tips for practicing… I’d be the one with dinner all over the floor if I didn’t practice first.

    Yep, I ended up with a lot of pinto beans on my carpet. Good workout for my forearms as well! ;-)
