If You're Searching for a New Skillet, Consider Stainless Steel
wired.comI got a stainless a couple of years ago. By far my most used since. There some foods I can't cook well in it yet, but it's not much.
Cleaning is super easy, just leave a bit of hot water and detergent in it for a bit first if there are some stubborn bits.
Cleaning is not always super easy. I have come across plenty of situations where hot water and detergent take ages. Steel wool on the other hand gets rid of everything very fast.
Interesting, not had that yet, a scrubbing sponge gets the job done quick for the stubborn bits I've encountered, but at least for me it's seldom I need to use it.
Watch out with scrubbing sponges though. Assuming it's one of those sponges that has a rough and a smooth side, sometimes the rough side contains abrasives (sand?) that will leave marks on stainless steel!
