I tried stainless steel and everything sticks to it. It took me a dozen tries to get a perfect egg and I've not been able to replicate it.
Use more butter/oil than you normally would. Let the pan heat up properly before adding your egg. Don't try to flip it until after it's had a chance to cook a bit first. (just like you don't try to flip a pancake too quickly)
Do those three things, no more eggs falling apart.
Ceramic is the way to go. Greenpan make great nonstick eco pans
I'll check it out, thanks. I also recently upgraded to induction, so I gotta be careful with what I buy. Half my pans didn't work.
Greenpan are induction. Only problem I've found is don't bang a metal spatula on the edge!! They're quite brittle
Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!!!
We got stainless last year and learned that you need to preheat the pan! Put it on the burner, fire it up and wait a few minutes. Get your hands wet and flick some water on the pan, if your pan is ready, those water drops will dance all over the surface of the pan. (I mean literally dance. If it's not fun to watch, it's not ready.)
Your sticking problems are OVER!
