The Cookware HeadQuarters

One of thing I thought as a novice cook early on that I needed to cook egg in nonstick Teflon pan with lot of butter. It was working but surely not easy on my waist as a girl. I also learned hard way that Teflon coating can peel and it was not pretty. I found hard anodized nonstick pan cookware that simply love and did not want to learn any other way to cook crepe, omelet or making anything would stick such as egg.

Until one day, one of the woman I admired a lot started to cook egg on Stainless steel pan, I was shocked. Surely, she made a mistake right? How can she not know that eggs would stick. She laughed my naivety and showed me a way to make eggs and even omelet in her multi ply clad cookware pan that left my mouth and jaw open and speechless!

Now, that I have uncomfortably told you my embarrassment, I will show what I learned from my friend and since then I love my stainless steel frying pan as much my hard anodized. It is not too hard, you have to follow a few simple steps and there is even a video (not by me) that will show you how you can cook food in stainless steel that will not stick. You will convert too, check it out for yourself.

Best way is preheated pan and lower flames are the key to stick-free stainless steel cooking.

1. Preheat your pan on low or medium heat for one to two minutes. Splash a drop of water to see if it hot, if water dances off it is ready.
2. Pour 2-3 teaspoons of cold oil in your preheated pan-or enough to cover the bottom of the cooking surface.
3. Add your food, making sure that there is an even sizzling sound when your food touches the pan. This indicates that your food is cooking on contact and creating a natural barrier to prevent sticking.
4. Allow your food to cook without disturbing for minute or so. The natural sugars in your food caramelize on the cooked surface, developing great flavors and lifting your food off of the cooking surface naturally.
5. When sticking occurs? If the sound your food makes on initial contact with the pan is more of a crackle than a sizzle, your heat is too high and sticking may occur.
6. All-Clad recommends low to medium heat for frying, braising, sautéing and simmering because All-Clad is crafted to hold heat.
7. See video below to see how to cook in stainless steel pan without sticking food effect.
