Six months ago a line cook at a diner in Memphis told me I was using cold butter on a cold pan and cranking the heat way too high. Now I let the pan warm up on medium low for 4 minutes before the bread even touches it, so does anyone else have a "warm up the pan first" moment that took them way too long to learn?
