With an stainless steel pan, you get a sturdy and durable pan. Stainless steel pans retain heat very well and have an even heat distribution. A stainless steel pan is also resistant to high temperatures. That's useful for when you want to sear meat for a tender result. You can also pout stainless steel pans in the oven when you want to keep the dish warm for longer. After use, you can put the pans in the dishwasher.
