After a while, the shiny stainless pan will get scratched and dull, and there will start to be stickage. Use your drill and a buffing pad with compound, and polish the pan up. It will be very slick and practically non-stick. For a while.

My favorite SS pans are All-Clad, because the handle has a “U” cross section, and you can put your thumb in the “U” so the handle and pan won’t rotate. Pans with slippery round-section handles will rotate, usually when heavily loaded with spillable stuff. Especially with wet or greasy hands.
