Why Does food stick on a stainlessness steel pan?

Question

I follow the instructions for proper use of a stainless steel pan but for whatever reason, I find that food still sticks so I get discouraged from using it. I am not sure if I’m doing something wrong 🤔

Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated <3

Stainless steel means *stainless*, not *non-stick.* You have to learn how to cook on it in order to make sure the food doesn’t stick. This means using either sufficient water or sufficient fats while you cook, and really watching your cooking temperature (too high of a temp increases the chance of sticking). And it will still stick, despite all that, because it’s not a non-stick pan.
