Stainless is hands down the best fried eggs I've ever had. It and maybe carbon steel is the only thing that gets hot enough to make it crispy.

You just need to let the pan heat up, drop a teaspoon of oil or butter, let if soak in a second then blast it and drop your egg.

More butter more better but that's flavour at that point.

For figuring out if your plans at the right heat, a spalsg of water should bead and float around.

Going that hot with Teflon will give you the Teflon flu.

Only thing I use nonstick for is scrabled eggs and pancakes where a low heat is beneficial.

Stainless steel is also leaching metals..

I kind of suspect the bizarre health correlation for olive oil relates to its poor temperature range.

It might be the pan but I tried to fry eggs on stainless and it was a horror movie. Even polished the pan as it had a lot of cleaning scratches and it was even worse. I seasoned it and it was better but still you have to use the right oil. Used olive oil and it stained the pan.

Out of all materials for pans, stainless is definitely the worst choice for eggs. Maybe carbon steel too if still unseasoned.

I use peanut oil and you need to make sure not to burn it on there.

For fried eggs you just need to make sure it's hot enough with oil it should bubble and fry without sticking.

I do pancakes on cast iron and love it.

Given how long pancakes have been a thing, I suspect they were invented on cast iron.
