does food stick after braising?

Anything sticking to the pan after browning a meat is released when you add water or soup stock. Any staining that may occur is easily removed with Bar Keepers Friend.

My husband doesn't braise his roast, but nothing seems to really stick after long cooking. Soaks and cleans off.

I found that you can minimize sticking if you heat some oil on the bottom prior to searing the meat.

There may be some sticking, but I also (as other reviewers mentioned) only use a small amount of oil in the bottom of the pan, thus keeping it to a minimum. Additionally, I don't have to use very high heat for braising, compared to other brands of cookware that I own. Very efficient and even heat distribution. GJM

I have the griddle - I just tried it and a magnet does stick to the bottom.

No, but when you use All Clad you don't need to worry about cleaning it up after. If anything sticks, just soak it for a few minutes and it cleans right up. Love this stuff.

Brand new it works GREAT, once properly seasoned. After 3-4 months however its anti-stick properties drop off, and from then on its a HIGH MAINTENANCE surface where you have to re-season it regularly. I re-season mine as often as once a week.... Read my review where I go into details. But overall... NO, GO WITH TEFLON.

Yes mine is now blackish. I don't know if I'm not adding enough oil to it or what but food does stick :(

If you cook w/some liquid seasoning(oil/pam) only slight sticking. When food sticks clean w/soapy water and non abrasive sponge. Similar to a Forman grill but I think better. Had both.Very good seller.

I've never had any problems with sticking. Always grease the pan (I prefer butter, oil works too) before putting the dough in. I've done sourdoughs that were allowed to sit overnight in the fridge to retard the rising, and even then they didn't stick, came right out after baking.

You didn't use cooking spray on there did you? We have used our's many many times even out on the grilland only use flour under the crust and never had anything stick.We have never preheated our stone and still never had anything stick.

Are you using any type of cooking spray- if so, stop and clean pan well. These are made NOT to use sprays. Rinsing extremely well with as hot of water as possible after washing with soapy water is a must. I would very lightly "grease pain with butter", but very lightly. This may prevent further sticking. Hope this helps. I've not had any trouble so far.

When you first get the pan, no. However, after repeated uses the popovers might start sticking. In that case, try the spray--but do not be surprised if the spray fails to stick while the popovers still do.

I seasoned my new wok as instructed then cooked my first meal. Got a little burnt on bottom so let it soak a bit then washed. I noticed lines up sides from pulling the veggies up the side (with wood spoon). After cleaning and drying I notice what appears to be rust... I can scrape off with nail. Guess will try the oil spread. Just seems odd..

I spray veg oil on the grate after it warms up it will stick if you miss a spot. with meat that has a higher fat content you do get more flare ups with this grill but I still recommend this grill.

After I add water to the rice, I stir it before turning it on. That seems to help with any sticking problems. I don't get scorching unless I leave it on the warming cycle too long unattended.

We haven't had serious sticking problems. We tend to use Pam Grilling or other sprays, as needed. Important to have a slight film of oil before you begin to cook.

My pans have not developed a sticky surface so I can't speak from experience but I have read other reviews that say it doesn't seem to affect the quality of use.

I have not had any issues with major sticking. I have made both pies and quiches with this shield and while some of the gooier bits are going to adhere to the shield if touching, I had no problems getting the shield off or washing it. It never stuck to the crust and still left the pie/quiche looking beautiful.

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out. Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook.
