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.

Nice!

I have a good set of SS pans but I don't use them as much as I should. I probably need to pick your brain on proper cooking techniques, I'm assuming I'm not using enough fat as some things (i.e. eggs) tend to stick too much

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.
