Cooking with stainless steel is easy, provided you follow a few simple rules. Pre-heat your pans on a low heat for a couple minutes before adding food. Add just enough oil or butter to just cover the bottom of the pan. Once the fat has heated, add your food. If you find your food is sticking, there are a few troubleshooting things to check.

First, is your stove level? Was your pan clean? Did you set the heat too high? For the best results, stainless steel should be used on low to medium heat. You can avoid pitting the interior of your pans by bringing all liquids to a boil before adding salt, and then stirring well to dissolve the grains. Using too high of heat can discolor the exterior of your pan, causing blue or brown stains. Films from cooking, if not cleaned out properly, can cause discoloration also.
