Preventing Burnt and Sticky Sliced Potatoes in SS Cookware

[abrahamlaur]

hey all, i got a question. whenever i make sliced potatoes it burns my SS cookware to pieces, and it sticks to the bottom like crazy. is there anything i can do so that wont happeN?

Potatoes like eggs are probably not a great choice of things to cook in the SS as the starch makes them stick. I'd cook that sort of thing in the non-stick.

Unless you want to use a bunch of butter/oil. mmm..... greasy....

Sell lots of cookware and earn one.

Sliced potatoes can be a bit of a problem, but shouldn't be too bad if you use moderate heat (hot enough to cook on contact, but not so hot it burns your food) and add room-temperature oil to the pan after it has heated completely. HTH!

If you rinse the starch out of the potatoes before frying them it helps with the sticking issue (soak them in water then rinse well). I use my ss pans for frying all the time (sorry, had them long before PC came out with them) but the main secret is to make sure that the oil in the pan is well heated before adding contents...and no, my stuff doesn't float in a plethora of oil.

Thanks Valkey! That is great advice. I haven't had SS in years so I had forgotten.
