    Non-stick is used as a crutch by people since you don’t need to know the proper temperature to cook at or basic simple prep before cooking. That’s the only reason I’ve been able to figure out.

    I cook in enameled, stainless, cast iron and carbon steel pans all the time and food will stick if you put it in cold or with the pan is too cold or too hot, too little fat.

      But like, even if it sticks I can just go at it with my steel spatula and it’s fine.

      I guess some people just don’t want cooking to be an involved process. Stainless isn’t necessarily a “set it and forget it” way of cooking.
