Wife was craving comfort food so I made us some goulash in the Lecruset last night.

    Is there a trick to getting stainless to release food in a reasonable way? I’ve tried it a couple times and whatever I cook ends up feeling like it’s epoxied on. I assume it’s a me problem since so many people speak positively about it.

      Throw some water and dish soap in it and simmer for like 5-10 minutes. It’ll loosen everything right up.

      Or, what I usually do is fill it with hot water and soap as soon as I’m done with it so by the time I’m done eating it’s good to go.

      Is your stainless single ply? I just went back to stainless (and cast iron) after not using it since I was a kid, and have the opposite question. When I was a kid, it was horrible how everything stuck or burned, and such a pain to clean. Now I pretty much never have a problem with anything sticking.

      But I have to wonder if it’s me finally getting the hang of cooking, or is it mostly old single ply stainless vs new 5 ply?
