Comment on Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating?
falcunculus@jlai.lu 7 months agoWould you have resources or advice about cooking properly on a stainless steel pan ?
You often need less heat than you think. Use oil. Pretty much everything should cook better in a stainless with a little bit of learning curve, except eggs.* Yes, even fish. Keep steel wool and barkeeper’s friend handy for scrubbing them back to a shiny polish.
*Cook eggs in a non stick that you use for basically nothing but eggs.
Preheat and use a decent amount of oil
Also try not to load it with a lot of food. I sometimes need to, and when I do, it seems to cool the pan a bit and the food starts to stick. I normally just raise the heat a bit.

Preheat the empty pan. You’ll know it’s hot enough when you throw water droplets on and it beads and dances around.
Then use a good amount of oil and/or butter. I’ve even cooked eggs without much hassle.
