I don't care about wringing laundry of pummeling bread dough... any
stainless steel pan can be made non stick without adding any coating.
Hit it with rough emery cloth to create ridges that will hold enough
oil so that the food cooks at the apex of the ridges. A mirror smooth
ss pan is a stickeroo. Automobile cylinders use the same technology,
crosshatched grooves... all machinery lubrication relies on cross
hatched grooves.
