Scrub down: Wash the new pan with warm soapy water to eliminate any residue from your manufacturing process Next, dry with another clean cloth or paper towel.

Heat : In this, Place the stainless steel pan on stove and heat over medium flame for some minutes. You will get a hot Pan.

Drizzle oil: Once the pan is hot, pour 1-2 tablespoons of a high vegetable oil into the sizzling skillet(canola or olive/corn) .

Spread the oil: Spread a thin, even film of oil over the bottom and up along each side of your pan using a paper towel or cloth.

Keep heating: Continue to heat the pan until the oil starts to smoke. Then turn off the heat and let the pan cool to room temperature.

Wipe off excess oil: Use a paper towel to wipe off excess oil from the pan, but be careful not to wipe off the oil film that forms.

After this process, the stainless steel pan will have a thin film of oil, which can help prevent food from sticking to the pan and protect the surface of the pan. The unsealing process can be repeated as many times as necessary to enhance the non-stick effect.
