Man. Those poor souls. Sent by some wanker who neither knows nor cares about them, just to die for some bullshit game. Their one chance to experience anything wiped out for eternity.

I add oil, just enough to barely coat the pan, and then tap a teeny drop of tap water from my finger onto the pan. Once the drop pops (if it got touched by the oil) or simply boils away, I can start cooking.

Additionally: butter. Butter somehow doesn’t stick for whatever reason, even if the pan isn’t fully heated up yet.
