Tossing food in a skillet is an efficient way to mix and move food around in a pan. But let's be honest: one big reason why we like to throw foods up, out of, and then back into a pan is because it looks kinda badass.

So, for those of you who want to master this skill, here's how you do it. The first thing to know is that tossing should only be attempted in cookware with curved, sloping sides, such as frying pans and woks. The mechanics of food tossing is kind of like ski jumping, and ski jumpers race downhill towards a ramp, not a wall.
