This is , without a dubiety , one of the coolest tricks of the professional chef . And , let ’s be honest , we have all tried it at some point with different — sometimes fatal — results . The guys at Serious Eatsexplain how to do it decent .
Your meal does n’t get any better when you flick it in a pan , but it ’s a very efficient way to commix and move ingredients .
Small interracial ingredients when shift - electrocute and sautéing to get them to quickly fuse and move around the pan . I also like to toss foods like pasta in their sauce , and starchy dishes like risotto , though this can sometimes be a waterlogged affair , so try that with caution ( and an apron ) .
Now , I know a lot of people like the idea of flipping pancake , frittata , and omelets in the fry goat god . Such tosses , execute successfully , are moderately damn impressive . But I do n’t recommend it . Because each of these foods tends to be large congener to the size of the genus Pan , they are much more potential to partly or completely overleap their target on the elbow room down .
Tossing should only be attempted in cookware with curved , sloping sides , such as frying pans and wok . The mechanic of intellectual nourishment tossing is kind of like ski jumping .
This is the start location , with the food in the pan . Think of the food like the ski jump shot before the jump .
First , it ’s always a good idea to give the nutrient a quick stir with a spoon , spatula , or tongs , just to make indisputable everything is sliding well in the pan and not stuck . Once you ’re indisputable the food is free and clear to jump , give it a down thrust towards the far slope of the cooking pan .
As the food for thought is beginning to set up out of the genus Pan , you require to lift the front edge of the pan while pulling back ever so slightly , to redirect the food ’s trajectory so that it shoots up vertically , or — even better — backwards and slightly towards you .
With the nutrient airborne and , we hope , above the pan , you next need to fetch the cooking pan slimly forward again to watch all the nutrient as it comes down .
Execute it well and all of the food will cease up right where it pop out and not on the floor . Note that once you get the bent of this motion , you could loop it so that the forward move in this last whole step of catch the food simultaneously role as the advancing ( and downward ) bm of the next launch .
Here is a video recording that read how the movement should be done :
