The recommendation
If you mostly fry eggs and want the least fuss, non-stick wins outright. If you want to brown meat properly or build a pan sauce, non-stick physically cannot do it and stainless steel is the only answer. Beginners should start with non-stick; anyone who has begun to care about browning should own steel.
Common questions
Can I use metal spoons in a non-stick pan?
No. One scratch starts the coating breaking down. Wood or silicone only.
Why does everything stick to stainless steel?
Usually the pan was not hot enough before the oil went in. Heat the empty pan first, add oil, wait until it shimmers, then add food — it releases on its own once a crust forms.
