Hey y’all. The GF loves French toast, and I’m pretty good at making it. Only problem is my roommates stole my only nonstick pan when I moved out. I’m going to attempt making it using my stainless steel pan, any tips? Or am I looking at a disaster here?
Please don’t use bar keepers friend on stainless steel pans, it will just deteriorate the surface and make things stick worse next time. Just put some water in the pan and set it back on heat to simmer, most of the cooked on stuff will just flake away as the water boils. Following up with a rinse with cool water and a scrub (made for gentle work on non-stick surfaces) should take care of the rest. A little discoloration will not ruin the pan. Stainless pans work better when seasoned just like cast iron.
I don’t know, I’ve been using bar keepers friend on my stainless for 13 years now (when needed) and they are fine? The pans look amazing after and they’re used every day in the home.
I don’t find any deterioration and love that I’m a scotchbrite and bar keepers friend away from new looking pans whenever I want. I’ll take a decade plus and going strong over Teflon for 6 months ten times out of ten.
Yeah like unless you’ve got the worlds most expensive pans I’m pretty sure a bit of cleaning powder isn’t going to be the end of the world.
I clean our (mid range) pans a few times a year with bar keepers friend without any issues.
