Every time I make scrambled eggs the eggs stick to the pan. It’s a stainless steel frying pan. What am I doing wrong? @ZombieMombie do you know?
What cooking questions do y’all have?

Stainless steel is funky. To make sure things do not stick, heat the pan up first.
To check to see if it is hot enpugh, put a drop of water in. You want it to look sort-of like a marble and slide around. If it busts apart it is too hot.

Did not know that. I have a stainless steel pan and even with oil. Everything sticks and burns.
I prefer cast iron. Seasoned and it’s so easy to clean after.

I’ll try this also. Because when I do use my stainless steel pan. I use lots of oil to reduce sticking. And it makes me waste oil and eat too much oil.

Use a non stick pan. Or a copper pan.

I always use a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Always, even in non stick pans.

Stainless steel is best for low to medium heat. You’ll want to use oil and do the water test like Zomb says. For higher temp cooking, nothing beats a properly seasoned cast iron or carbon steel pan.

Tip for non-stick pans: do not use nonstick sprays. Just butter, oil, or margarine (yuck).
The reason is that these sprays leave a film. It ruins the nonstick properties of the pans and is extremely hard to remove.
This is lecthin, if I remember correctly

As an example, I purchased one of those granitestone pans a few years ago. Used nonstick spray every time. After a couple months things were sticking all the time.
I needed a new set of pans in 2022. Had a very nice tax refund, so I splurged and got my first new pan set in 10 years, I think. Maybe longer.
I got the blue diamond set from Granite stone. It was $250!!! I’ve never spent that on anything except major appliances and even usually get used.
Anyway, they said to never use nonstick spray. I researched and this set is still very nonstick after about 18 months of daily use, multiple times a day.

I use Curtis Stone nonstick pans. Nothing ever sticks even without oil.

Not that much to a serving, either.

we just use butter in the pan before adding the eggs and it never sticks…just like a pad of butter too.

I spray it with pam first, no issues after that.
