I wash my stainless steel every time, and it acts like non-stick
anyway. I wouldn't buy anything with Martha's brand on it because I
got some washcloths and hand towels that fell apart the first time I
washed them. It's crap.

My stainless is made by All-Clad - doesn't need any seasoning, and
they look like new after 3 years' steady use. YMMV, indeed.
