Combined with their near indestructible nature, and the fact they won't leech chemicals into your food, it's an unbeatable set of reasons why stainless steel is best.
However, it's worth knowing that chefs typically season their pans, such as by oiling it up or even placing it in the oven to essentially get it prepared for action.
