Although seasoning isn’t required with stainless steel pans, it is possible to season your favorite skillet to create a non-stick layer. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for about two minutes. Add a thin layer of vegetable oil to the pan (about 1/8 inch). Continue to heat the pan until the oil just begins to smoke, about 5 minutes.
