Learning how to season a stainless steel pan requires no prior culinary experience. If anything, treating your non-toxic cookware will work in your favor if you've got poor cheffing skills.
Here's how it works. Before you've even started cooking with them, you can reduce the risk of scratching your pans and decrease the chances of having to scrub away burnt-on food. Seasoning involves coating the surface of your pots and pans with a layer of fat or oil, which then creates a protective barrier. Then — get this — instead of using soap to clean the stainless steel, you'll simply wipe it down and maintain it with salt.
