Cooking With A Stainless Steel Fry Pan

Have you ever tried a Stainless Steel Fry Pan for cooking. I don't mean the non stick pans, I mean all stainless steel. I would not recommend cooking eggs in one because it will stick but I do highly recommend cooking chicken and other food in one. I use my 10' Stainless Steel Fry Pan quite often. I braise the chicken and then pop it in the oven.
Here is a recipe:
Cajun Chicken With Wine Sauce - For One Person
1 Chicken Breast -- Bone In Skin On
1 teaspoon Cajun Spice -- or whatever spice you like
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Butter
pinch Salt
pinch Black Pepper -- Grind
1/8 cup White Wine
1 tablespoon Butter (Optional)

Oven at 350F

1. Make a mixture of cajun spice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub all over chicken breast.
2. Heat frying pan on medium high (never on high) with the olive oil and butter. Put breast side down and cook for 3 minutes. Do not move the chicken breast as this is making the skin crispy.
3. Flip chicken and put the stainless steel open fry pan in the oven.
4. Bake until chicken reaches 155F. About 30 minutes for plump ones.
5. Take out of oven, tent the chicken in foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
6. Put the fry pan back on the stovetop and add the white wine.  Deglaze.
7. Reduce to thicken 5 minutes or more on medium high heat then add 1 tb of butter.
8. Serve chicken with a few drizzles of sauce.
Deglaze means to get all that brown stuff off the bottom of the pan and mix with the wine.


After your Stainless Steel Fry Pan cools off let it soak for a few minutes in warm soapy water for an easy cleanup. Simple recipe but so good!
