How can I stop scrambled eggs sticking to stainless steel?

Our answer

Preheat stainless steel over medium heat, add a thin layer of fat and lower the heat before eggs; use a silicone spatula rather than scraping dry steel.

Why this approach makes sense

Cooking time, temperature, ingredient order and moisture each affect the result. Altering one variable at a time makes the cause easier to identify.

Before you try it

Check food temperatures and equipment instructions rather than relying only on visual appearance.
