That may be but she made a fuckton of those videos back in the day. Each filled with either incorrect "facts," or bad tips unironically shouted into the camera as fast as she moved her lips.
I've definitely had omelettes that would fall apart if flipped, but hold together alright on the spatula. Call it a skill issue if you want, but I say this technique has merit.
Yeah, I've never liked this video because there are legitimately times where flipping the pan is the right call. It's how I flip sandwiches to be sure they don't fall apart. I can't recall exactly where off the top of my head, but I'm certain I've seen professional chefs do it on television, etc. Some people are just so eager to condescend.
For most foods, either it's supposed to have a lot of liquid in the pan so you'd be an idiot to try this technique, or it's *not* supposed to have liquids, in which case you'd be an idiot for somehow getting to that point lol.
I've done this with an extra cheesy quesadilla once or twice because the inside cheese won't all be melted until after you flip it, and trying to flip with a spatula might send cheese flying. It definitely has niche uses.
Pancakes in a non stick pan, you don't need much of anything like that. If you don't abuse the non-stick they are legit that slippery and stay like it for years. I use cast iron for 95% of my cooking. But eggs and pancakes get the non stick because I'm lazy.
I do this when making western omelettes. Covered on low heat so it doesn't over cook the bottom once the top becomes more or less solid, or just a little runny, I slide it out onto a flat lid, put the pan over and flip.
Funny vid. I did try the pan trick, actually learned from that girl in the vid. It actually helps with certain foods, but you can't do it with everything.
or put a plate on top, flip it, then you can just push what is on the plate into your pan without breaking appart with a regular spatula flip (omelettes mainly).
Isn't that just extra work for no reason? You'd have to lift the pancake, flip the pan, then flip both the pan and pancake, vs. Just lifting and flipping the oancake.
Usually flip something delicate like a half cooked omelette onto a plate then another plate then the pan again. Depending on the size of the thing anyway.
Just enough lube to stop it sticking and by the time it's ready to flip there will be basically none left. Pretty much anything can be cooked this way on non-stick if you get the temp right.
The perfectly even brown surface looks like a pancake being cooked in a non-stick pan with no oil. That would be healthier. But it wouldn't think it would taste very good. I'd at least use a little bit of butter.

For when you need to flip fully cooked pancakes that have already been flipped.

Except there will almost always be grease, oil, fat, etc in the pan that will spill absolutely everywhere if you tried flipping the pan upside down.

Not if you're quick enough. But with that, we're getting back into "skill issue" territory again

Flipping something big that would fall off the spatula otherwise

I hate that "tip." Oh great, you flipped the fucking skillet over! Now all that oil, grease, and otherwise is on the floor or on your stove.

You still wouldn't do this dumbshittery to flip them.

Why kinda dry ass cooking surface is that that doesn’t drip at all when flipping. Seems like something a psychopath would do

I never add butter to the pan. I add it to the batter instead.
There still would drip something though (fat, or water from the moisture)
PolitiCat
The trick is to have more butter in the dough
