Heat pan to 450-500 degrees, add oil, then add food. Heating the pan lets the oil fill in micro cracks in the cooking surface so food won’t stick. Who was that Korean TV chef who said, “Hot wok, cold oil, food no stick”.

I think it was a Cooking Channel or HGTV show called "Yan can cook." If course PBS would also be a good bet, but I don't feel like looking it up. Didn't Alton Brown say that a lot on his show (I can't recall the name at the moment)?
