They say high temp stainless basically becomes non stick. I just get stuff sticking then immediately burning and smoking out my kitchen.

    Heat up the pan on medium setting and then apply oil, if it smokes it is too hot. And don’t use olive oil, use an oil with a reasonably high smoke point. And you need to use more oil/fat than you’d normally do on other (non-stick) pans.

    no, medium-ish temp.

    stainless steel has pores that close at the right temp so food wont stick.

    you need to practice it on your cooktop yourself to find out what setting. after its heated, drip a big drop of water on it and it should dance around and sizzle. too hot or too cold it will stay where it is in the pan. theres prob a video you can watch to see what the drop of water should look like
