I am retardedly happy about this. My old stainless pans were almost 20 years old. Cooks brand from JCPenny Home Collection. They had a copper plate bonded to the bottom of SS pans. Anyway, they were warping and just not performing well anymore.

I got 5 Ply Misen Stainless Steel

They are pretty bad ass. Nice and flat. Heavy duty and thick. I'm pretty stoked. I ordered direct and got 10% off my first order, so less than $300 for the set.

They also had a pretty good sale going on some other stuff but I could not combine offers so I had to make a second order for some nice cooking utensils and lids for the pans. The sale on that stuff beat the 10% first order thing, that's why I split it up.

Anyway, pretty nice stuff.

Cooking with SS is definitely a bit of an art, but mainly it's all about preheating the pan. I clarify butter and use that for everything that calls for oil, even baking and frying.

Also, I clean them just like Cast Iron. I pour a glass of water in while it's still nice and hot. Releases everything. Then I wash with the rest of the dishes. You gotta have quality pans for that though so they don't warp.

Thank you, that is super helpful! We got the SS set a bit on the whim at Costco, they are pretty decent. I will play around with cooking on them and report back.

Is it that Hexclad stuff?

Nope, I refuse to use Hexclad. It was just plain two SS pan set that can be used in the oven. We bought it a few years ago. It is this brand https://www.costco.com/p/-/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set/100809273?DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true&langId=-1 but just the two pans.
