  A few visits to your local thrift shop will usually yield some phenomenal deals on quality stainless cookware. People get frustrated with them, and throw them away. I picked up a practically new, 5-ply, thickly sidewalled, Italian made, 5.5 qt, sauté pan for $5.99 at Goodwill today!

  Managing heat was a lesson that took me far too long to learn. So, now I heat it up - leidenfrost test - then put my protiens in and turn it down a skosh. Works perfectly every time.

  I found that it's easier to deglaze when the pan is still hot (right after cooking). Always come off very easily for me!

  I thought I could manage a stainless steel pan with only knowing the water drop trick. After almost ruining it after 3 uses I realised I needed to come here. Thank you!!

  I honestly don't know why more people don't boil water in their pans after cooking. I do that no matter what pan I'm using (including my cast iron) and never have to scrub afterwards. It just makes sense to let the water and heat do the work for you.

  Ive been cooking with stainless steel for decades and recently heard you could season stainless steel, which didnt make sense to me, but I thought I would look into it. Glad to see you set the record straight before I tried something stupid. Lol

  Thanks for the tips! I got a nice Calphalon set as a newlywed 15 years ago but really haven’t used it aside from the pots. I’ve been using nonstick frying pan, but after researching toxins in nonstick products, I really want to switch to solely using stainless steel. I made some steak last night with sautéed onions and mushrooms and my pans look like a mess so I especially appreciate the reminder that this is a learning process and it’s OK to make mistakes 😅

  I love my wolf gang puck stainless cookware. I’ve had them for over 10 years and they are as good as new.

  It&apos;s really important to note that the water test needs to be done with sufficient amount of water.
