Hahahahaha! Gussiebuns, you read my mind. Dirty baking pans... messy shelves... Yuk. A good deep cleaning and decluttering before taking photos would have made for a lot more compelling story, but as is, I'm really turned off by the clutter and the dinginess of this place.

If *everything* is sticking to your stainless steel pans, it's probably because you're not preheating them to the right temperature before you add the oil.

Here is the best explanation I've seen on the subject:

I keep a relatively cheap nonstick pan I picked up from a local commercial restaurant supply store on hand for things like slow cooked scrambled eggs, but otherwise, I prefer stainless.
