Non Stick Stainless Steel Pan

Well done! Please, do more videos like this one. I use the same "wet surface" technique on all our pans, cast iron, enameled cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel. Sometimes, I use a thin layer of oxidized cooking oil, like you, sometimes - oil and beeswax blend, or Crisco, which allows to use really small amounts of "seasoning" product to make pots and pans nearly instantly non-stick. Whether we use cooking fat after or not, depends on the recipe, but the surface by then is already non stick, could be brought up or down to any temperature, and we get the benefit of the specific metal properties of specific cookware. Demeyere SS pans makers say that 10sec resting period after we reach the earliest smoking point is all it takes to make SS non stick! Chinese have discovered that method for us long time ago to cook/dry fry in their cast iron woks with little to no oil if necessary, except that traditionally they use a thin layer of beef tallow, pork fat, or soybean oil, which is an excellent drying oil (and is the reason why an extra thin layer of Crisco on metal or enamel works so well for your method as well. Crisco is a soybean based shortening).

I like this as an alternative to cooking with too much butter or oil, just a nice glaze on it.

Well, for one thing stainless steel can't be seasoned, and finally if you want to cook in stainless steel and not have any sticking you need to add the oil as the pan is warming up, and when the oil starts to shimmer is when you add the food.

Nice video. You'd need to use generous amount of fat to fry eggs on s/s pan. This is a great way to cook healthy. I have seen a video someone successfully using aerosol cooking spray, something that I have yet to try.

You don't generally try to season stainless-steel, namely because it's not necessary (unlike iron, oxidization wont occur) and furthermore because, due to the less porous surface and non-reactive nature of stainless, any polymerisation wont adhere very well to the substrate as it does with iron cookware and will come off easily. Thus the idea with stainless is to 'season' it each time you cook, heating a small amount of oil at high temperature, before adding your primary lubricant. Your presentation is good regardless.

great video!

I'm gonna try this.
