The Perfect Cookware Quest Continues - Stainless Steel

I continue in my efforts to get Teflon and other concoctions reverse engineered from the Roswell crash out of my life.  If you've read some of my other posts, you will remember that I became quite the advocate of cast iron cookware, and I still think that it is the best, but... of course, there is always some twist.  First off, I'm lazy; I like to cook, and of course, I like to eat, but I do not like to do dishes.  Needles to say, taking proper care of your cast iron is a chore.  If you are into it as a hobby, then it can be a labor of love; on the other hand, if Delphine is waiting for the Dragonborn, there is no Thu'um that cleans, dries and oils your cast iron... Kynesgrove has to wait while you do this yourself... EVERY TIME YOU COOK!!  There is no setting your cast iron to soak while you watch the next episode of Gotham.  Of course, even a guy like me could burry a cast iron skillet in the yard for a year and restore it back to brand new... may I bring your attention back to the first premise... I am lazy...

The second problem that occurred with my cookware quest is that I got a bad tennis elbow injury followed closely by carpal tunnel syndrome.  Using the heavy cast iron aggravated these conditions.  I had to find something lighter, yet similarly Terrestrial in origin... Enter Stainless Steel.

Over the years I have accumulated quite the assortment of cookware... aside from eating, Keith likes to buy stuff... I have a full set of Cuisinart Stainless Steel cookware, so I watched some YouTube and broke out the frying pans to see how non-stick they are.  I heard somewhere that if you know what you are doing, all cookware is non-stick... you will notice that the name of this blog is not "Keith Knows What He Is Doing."  I had some pancake batter left over from breakfast (sadly I used a Teflon coated pan for that)... I began to cook a pancake...  The results were not promising...  The darned thing stuck..

However, clean up was breeze...  So I researched a little more about cooking in stainless steal, and then fried an egg.  I was talking on the phone at the same time and forgot to take pictures, but the result was much better.  I'm going to run more experiments to see how I like it or if I can learn to use it, but I think this may be my next go to type of cookware.  It meets the requirements...

1. It has no poisonous coating.
2. It can be relatively non-stick when used correctly
3. It is light
4. It is easy to care for
5. It can go in the dishwasher
6. Should last a lifetime if not mishandled.
