We just switched from (almost all) non-stick pots and pans to stainless steel (and a few cast iron) which I've been wanting to do for years. Problem is, after doing some research online about how to use and care for the stainless steel pots and pans, I'm terrified! We spent a good amount of money on them and are committed to using them for health reasons, so I want to know your advice! So far, the main thing I've learned is that you always heat up the pan first before putting anything in it (besides boiling water). What other tips/tricks do you use?

Thanks!!
