I’d recommend stainless for the average cook. Carbon steel requires more maintenance and clearly the general public doesn’t want to do that. Stainless is awesome except perfectly slidey eggs require a bit more effort and that’s the trump card a lot of people use, unfortunately.

I’m looking for a new pan and leaning towards stainless. I cook a lot of eggs. Friends of mine who also cook a lot of eggs use them with no problem.

From what they say and what I’ve read, including in this thread, the “bit more effort” needed is simply to make sure that the pan is at the right temperature before adding oil/butter and eggs. This is testable using Leidenfrost effect on a water droplet. The eggs should also be taken out from the fridge 10 minutes before cooking.

If that’s all there is to it, I’m sold.

I don’t bother with the eggs out of the fridge bit but yea, just get it to the right temp and use enough oil and they come out great
