Stainless steel pans should always be seasoned to get the most out of them.
Many culinary professionals believe that because stainless steel is not as porous as cast iron, there isn't any real need to season stainless steel cookware. Others believe that there is still ample incentive to season a stainless steel pan, since seasoning will help make food less likely to stick to the pan. There is certainly no downside to seasoning your new stainless steel pans.
Instructions
1. Wash the stainless steel pan thoroughly with soap, water and a sponge. Dry it off with a kitchen towel or allow it to air dry.
2. Pour vegetable oil into the pan and use your brush to spread it around the entire inner surface. Make sure you coat all of the pan.
3. Place the pan on your stovetop and turn the burner on medium heat. Keep the pan on the burner until the oil begins to smoke. Remove the pan from the stovetop as soon as the oil starts to smoke.
4. Allow the pan to cool off, then blot away any remaining oil with paper towels.
