Saturday, a lady at a yard sale was raving about the virtues of
seasoning an All-Clad.
Anyone ever heard of seasoning stainless steel?

Thanks,
Bubba

Of course... stainless steel cookware used for frying must be properly
seasoned to prevent sticking.

I have Emerilware, made (and warrantied) by All-Clad, and it performs
like a non-stick frypan. No seasoning; it's not needed. I put it in
the dishwasher, and the next time I use it, it performs perfectly with
no scrubbing. I've never heard of anyone seasoning a stainless steel
pan.

Cast-iron needs seasoning.

Seasoning a stainless steel pan should not be necessary as it is non-
reactive. Here's some information on the design of All-Clad pans.
I'm not sure how helpful it will be with regard to seasoning but
hopefully it is a little helpful:

Seasoning (cast iron or stainless steel) hasn't a whit to do with
reactivity, has only to do with food sticking. Stainless steel
cookware should definitely be properly seasoned... has nothing
whatsoever in common with how cast iron cookware is seasoned.

Don't you just love the "whit" who posts that you can do something, but gives not a single clue as to how to do it.

What say ye, Shel, are you going to enlighten us poor culinary souls, with your stainless pan seasoning secrets, or are you just going to sit there on your high pan??
