My husband and I, like many newlyweds, received a beautiful high-end set of pots and pans as a wedding gift. We received a set a of Calphalon stainless steel pots and pans. Excited about all the culinary masterpieces I would create I jumped in and found out stainless steel requires different cooking techniques than non-stick. All these new shiny pans and my husband was actually upset I gave away his old non-stick fry pan because he was burning his morning egg whites. No matter what he did they would stick to the pan. Thank goodness for the internet! I found my new online cooking best friend. Rouxbe cooking school has amazing step by step tutorials. The trick is to determine the heat of a pan by performing a simple water test, making sure your oil has legs and then you let the sizzle lead you to success.
