Because you shouldn't use high heat, it takes 2x as long to cook anything. Harder to clean even after boiling chicken had to soak pot before cleaning easier.

We wanted to get away from non-stick pans because of the reports we've heard about potential health risks as the pans age. We knew it would be an adjustment, but I don't know if we'll be able to adjust to the fact that they don't clean up well and are difficult to use due to sticking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your review! Switching from non-stick to stainless steel definitely comes with a learning curve, and we want to help make that transition much smoother for you.
Based on the image, the residue on your pan is very common and completely fixable with the right technique. Sticking usually comes down to heat control, and once you master a couple of simple tricks, stainless steel cleans up incredibly well.
Please contact our customer support team at help.tusa@tramontina.com. We'd love to walk you through some pro-tips on how to cook stick-free and keep your pans looking brand new!
