Question:

stainless steel cookware sticking?

I need help my new stainless steel cookware is sticking ? My first meal was nasty!

Answer:

Welcome to the life of stainless steel cookware. Make sure you have plenty of steel wool handy. It took my wife and I some getting used to, but we now love our set.
You sure it's stainless steel? Quick test, is to put a magnet to it. Stainless steel won't stick to a magnet,Sorry your meal turned out icky. Bye
Food sticks to stainless steel. Gourmet cooks love it for that very reason. Without sticking, foods won't sear properly. For the rest of those cooks out there, nonstick is often an easier option. If you want to make a go of the stainless, here are some tricks of the trade.... a)always preheat the pan on low-medium b)never put cold food into a hot pan. It will stick worse.Leave cold food on counter for 15 minutes before it hits the pan. c)after preheating the pan, add oil, or an oil/butter combo d)for foods like eggs, potatos, grilled cheese, nonstick is your best friend. e) when you take food out of pan, immediately wipe the pan out with a kitchen towel. Keeps cleanup from being a nightmare. f) don't wash pans in sink while hot. They will warp. Stainless takes some getting used to. Hope this helps!
One of two things can cause this. Either your pan bottoms are light weight, or you are cooking at too high a temperature.
