Default Question about why we heat the pan 'before' adding oil.

Hello Everyone,

I have heard and read that one should always heat the pan first before adding cooking oil. I don't know why one should do this as compared to adding room temp oil to a room temp pan, and then turning on the heat until the oil is hot enough to cook in.

Does anyone know why we heat the pan first?

Please let me know, Thanks!

Carmine
