Using fond with acidic ingredients in pan sauces or braises is possible because of the non-reactive properties of stainless steel.
That's right. Similar to cast iron, stainless steel cookware can be seasoned to create a semi-nonstick surface of polymerized oil molecules. Unlike cast iron, seasoning on stainless is not meant to be continuously built up.
Instead, a temporary seasoning layer can be added to aid in cooking delicate foods like fish or eggs. Master this technique and proper heat control, and you can throw out your nonstick pans forever! Fry eggs with ease, or even a french-style omelette!

Dry your pan and preheat the pan on the stove over medium heat. Heat expands, so this will help open up the pores in the metal. Once your pan is hot, place a small amount of oil in the pan. Place a wad of paper towel in the oil and wipe around the inside of the pan until there is a very thin layer of oil across the entire interior. Make sure to use an oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable, avocado, grapeseed oil. Once the pan begins to lightly smoke, remove it from the burner and let cool.
Once cool, use a different paper towel to wipe the pan and remove any excess oil there may be none. Repeat as desired. You cook with a seasoned stainless steel pan the same way you cook with an unseasoned one!

Monitor the stove temperature as you cook. Avoid setting the burner to high when you use any pan—especially a seasoned pan. The higher the cooking temperature, the more likely your food will stick to the pan as it cooks.
Thaw foods to room temperature before you cook. Cold food will ultimately stick to hot pans, causing burning and creating a mess. Let your food thaw in the refrigerator, but take it out for 1 to 2 hours before cooking so it can rise to room temperature. Filling your pan up with more ingredients than it can hold leads to unbalanced temperatures and sticking.
If you want to cook multiple ingredients in the same pan, stick to only 2 or 3 at a time, and space them out so they each have their own section in the pan. Only cook acidic foods, water-based foods, and sauces in your stainless steel pan. Fruits, veggies, tomato sauce, gravies, and broths are all great foods to cook in a seasoned stainless steel pan.
Alternatively, you can use your pan to cook your morning eggs, or sear a cut of salmon for dinner. Stainless steel pans are best designed for cooking these types of foods. Part 3. Place a few paper towels inside your seasoned pan before stacking it. Stacking pans is a common and useful storage method, but it can easily scratch up the insides of your pans. Stuffing a few paper towels inside will give your seasoned pan the protection it needs.
Wipe your pan out with a paper towel once you finish cooking. Washing a seasoned pan with soap and water after every cooking session will strip away the oil, forcing you to reseason. The oil left in the pan is meant to protect it from stuck-on food, making soap and water unnecessary until your pan becomes too messy to use.
Clean out a messy pan with soap and water. Eventually, your seasoned pan will become messy with residue. Use warm water and a nonabrasive cleaning tool, like a soft sponge or cloth dishrag. This will keep it from spotting.
Remove stubborn, stuck-on food by boiling water for 5 minutes. If there's any residue left over, add dish soap to the pan before submerging the residue with water. Place the pan on the stove and turn the burner on high.
Let the pan boil for 5 minutes, then pour out the hot water. The rest of the residue should scrub right off! Reseason your pan with fresh oil after you wash it. Once you wash your pan with soap and water, it's no longer seasoned. To make sure it continues to be a perfect, non-stick pan, repeat the seasoning process! Ashley Ridge.
