How to Cook With Stainless Steel

1. Preheat

For even heat dispersion, bring Stackware to medium heat before adding any liquids, oils, or foods. To check if the pan is ready, flick a few drops of water onto the surface.

If they roll like mercury, you’re good to go.

Stackware is designed for use on all electric, gas, ceramic, and induction stovetops. Vessels are safe for oven use up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass lids are safe up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2 . Rest

Allow foods to come to room temperature before cooking. Cold food is prone to stick on hot steel.

3. Prime Your Surface

Stainless steel can be just as slick as a non-stick pan if you prepare it right. Grease your pan with a thin layer of fat before use- oil, butter, or cooking spray all make great primers. When the surface glistens, Stackware is ready.

4. Get Cooking

Once your food is in the pan, it’s time to let instinct (or a recipe) kick in. Flip when food looks golden brown or slips easily off the pan. Resistance or sticking usually means dishes need a few extra minutes. Getting to know your pans might take a few tries, but will come naturally with practice.
