If you are new to using stainless steel, there can be a slight learning curve. You’ll likely need to experiment to perfect the art of using this type of cookware. But, there is a reason why most chefs prefer stainless steel, and you will certainly enjoy it once you get used to it. Start by using a lower amount of heat than you would normally use. Know that you may need to use some oil to prevent sticking, especially if you normally cook with a nonstick pan. Also, unless you are using high quality stainless steel, then you may need to be careful about metals leaching into your food. The amount of metals that leach from stainless steel cookware can depend on the grade of stainless steel used, the types of foods that are cooked, and how long the foods are cooked. Once you adjust to using your stainless steel set, I think you will be very happy.
