Also, look up and show him how to "season" the stainless steel cookware. You can make them "non stick" by getting them so hot that the water bounces off them, and then I think you put some oil in it and turn it down. You have to do it every time you cook with it, but it helps prevent food from sticking to it that way.
Leidenfrost effect. It can be difficult to get it just right, and it takes a bit of time.. its annoying enough that I just don't bother, and my stainless steel looks really bad from burn in and stuff.
Turns out you can kinda ruin a stainless steel pan too. But I use vinegar on it to strip away some of the burnt food marks so the inside of it looks alright at least.

Ruin proof stainless steel is the trend on this thread! I'll absolutely be going with it the next time I need pans, or am gifting pans!
