Any of the above, just a hell of a lot easier to clean stainless. A little water and it's like new

    What now? Of all the things stainless excels at, cleaning certainly isn't one of them. Much easier to clean a nonstick or iron pan. The nice thing about stainless is you can use aggressive scouring pads or barkeepers friend etc to go to town on them at least, but stainless excels at adhesion and heat distribution and makes for a tougher cleanup.

    I have been cooking on stainless for over a decade, if it's sticking or tough to clean you've done something wrong

    Check the pan surface, it needs to be clean and smooth when starting, heat marks are good

    When starting, don't add food till it's hot

    Never use scouring pads, it'll create grooves in the surface that make food stick

    Barkeepers friend is fine but a freshly polished pan will stick at first

    Anything stuck to a stainless steel pan will come off with water, if it doesn't you probably cooked too hot

    You are absolutely correct. I have no idea where all of this animosity towards stainless steel cookware is coming from. It's an absolute workhorse and doesn't need princess treatment like cast iron or carbon steel.
