Does anyone know why we heat the pan first?

Please let me know, Thanks!

"hot pan cold oil, no stick" is what I learned. But this isn't always true because sometimes it depends on the pan. But yes, what chrose said is very very true. Otherwise customers would be waiting much much longer for their food.
