So I got myself a set of Stainless Steel Pans... I watched all the videos and read all the guides.... And for the most part I can grasp the way to use them but the thing I am not getting is this mercury ball test to know when to add the oil.... I start heating it up and I put the water in and it does nothing so I wait... So then I put water in and it just sizzles and so I wait... So then I put water in and and it really pops and somewhat does the mercury ball thing... When I put the oil in at this point (EVOO)... It smokes really bad and seems way too hot... Is this something to do with using the pans on an induction cook top? Is there something I am missing (doesn't seem like there was something to miss)? I have tried this on different temperatures with the same result...
