My wife made an omelet this morning. Stuck to the pan like crazy. Soaked it and cleaned the old oil out of it. Just finished seasoning using your method above with lard. Cooked another omelet and it came out perfectly. Thanks for making my life healthier. No more Teflon skillets for me.

I season mine by leaving it outside all year. It gets 4 seasons that way.

If actual Cooking was taught in school, WE would not need these great videos, or Teflon.
Keep up the good work ladies, gentlemen, and all of you others.
We need you ALL!
Now more than ever.

7 years later I'm Female and watching you season the pan! Thanks!

Female here. So I *did* learn from my mom and Grandma, but that was decades ago and not like riding a bike. Thanks for being here to remind and re-teach people like me, and not coddle us.

Oh and that stove looks sooo much like the ones I learned on! The good old "they don't make 'em like they used to" stuff right there.

Just tried this seasoning approach on a cheap, thin, 10" SS skillet that food would stick to in a heartbeat. Applied 6 layers of a 1/3 grapeseed oil, 1/3 canola oil and 1/3 beeswax that was working well for my cast iron pans. I cooked scrambled eggs with just a pat of butter after warming and testing temp as u showed and there was absolutely NO sticking whatsoever! Eggs cooked perfectly and afterwards, just wiped pan clean with a paper towel and it's good to go! Can't thank u enough for posting this vid. I plan to invest in a higher-quality SS set and toss all my toxic nonstick pans now for good. Just awesome! Tks again!! 👍

Michael that is nice of you to say. I am a Family nurse practitioner. I work in a clinic 2 days a week and I see old folks in their homes the other 3 days. My motto since I have to interact with lots of people, is "just be nice". works pretty well most of the time.

Woman here. My most treasured (and frequently used) item in my kitchen is my grandmother's cast iron skillet. I grew up in her home....and there's almost a century of cooking that has been done in this pan. I keep it well "seasoned" at all times. Woe be it to the person that puts my skillet into a sink full of

[judjohns]

i am buying our first set of stainless steel and found this very helpful. oh, i am a woman viewer by the way and I actually DID learn to season cast iron from my Grandma!

[sandrajohnson]

Female viewer here and first time stainless cookware owner. I purchased a set of Cuisinart cookware today and am on here looking at how to cook with it. My grandmother and mother always cooked with cast iron and I have their skillets. Those things are as slick as a teflon pan and I love them but don't want to cook everything in them. Thanks for making this video. Now I know what to do before using my new pans!

[Lady-Seawulf]

So glad I found you. Never knew a stainless steel pan could be seasoned (no wonder my food would alway stick to the pan ). All this time I thought I was just a lousy cook. Thank you for sharing.

I had no idea you needed to season a stainless steel frying pan, I use my cast-iron frying pan regularly and love it, but this I must try, thank you for the information.

[HDougMatsuoka]

I'm 70 years old and cooked an omelet in a stainless steel pan without it sticking for the first time in my life! Thanks so much for the video. I don't know if it was the seasoning you describe, or getting the pan to the correct temperature as described elsewhere in the Youtube Universe, but seasoning definitely helped. One caution though, when the oil starts smoking, it is also perilously close to catching on fire. So everyone, please pay attention to what's going on, else something's gonna burn and it ain't your omelet.

[armadillotoe]

WOW! Thank you for posting this. I never knew you had to season stainless steel. Explains why even my one expensive skillet makes everything stick. I love cast iron, but now I think I will come to love stainless steel.

[BigLewBBQ]

I’ve only ever seasoned cast iron and carbon steel. I did not know you could season stainless steel too. Thank you for this.

[thorthunder]

Thank you so much for this video. I never knew you could season stainless steel. I also am moving away from nonstick pans so I’m actually moving back to stainless steel. So the fact that I could make my stainless steel more nonstick is a bonus. Thank you so much!

[hannabelle]

I got a set of stainless steel pans for my wedding and I’ve seen so many videos on YouTube about seasoning and they all don’t work. Several months later I found your playlist and all I can say is, THANK YOU.

[doloresbenavente]

I’m already 50 yrs old and cooking all my life for my family and wow just learned something new today lol.. thank. You👍😍

[michellegainer]

I’ve cooked on a cast iron skillet all my life; passed down from my grandmother. She taught me to season it in the oven. This is very similar. Thanks for the tip because my husband prefers the All Clad set he bought and I’m going to season them for him.

I’m a 79 female and in an effort to get away from Teflon and back to the stainless steel I used to use and loved, I just bought a beautiful new stainless steel pan with the type of bottom yours has. I knew that I read somewhere that I could make stainless steel nonstick. This is certainly simple enough to do whenever it needs done again, but tomorrow I’m going to do this . I wanted a stainless steel fry pan with a lid, a thick heavy clad
bottom and expect with the extra handle on the opposite side because of my arthritis. I’m so happy I bought the stainless steel pan. I do love stainless steel and plan to enjoy it even more now that I know your method. So thank you.
