my fried eggs stick to the pan

[Woofage]

I fry eggs and omelettes in a plain steel pan like one of these which normally performs brilliantly and my eggs etc never stick. However, the last 2 times I have used it my eggs have stuck. I don't know how this has happened but what I need to do is get the surface back to "non-stick" status. How best should I do this? I've had the pan so long that I've forgotten the correct process.

These are no-frills, French crêpe pans made for intensive use, day-in, day-out in a professional kitchen. In fact, De Buyer is a long established French manufacturer of professional catering equipment.

They take the high temperatures needed to produce perfect pancakes or omelette's and are the perfect shape to gently roll them out, time after time.

Get rid of the apostrophe on their website, then your omelettes will never stick again.

Hope this help's.

AFAIK the process is called 'seasoning' and this is how it is done.

It is certainly the way I've been doing it for many years.

You can try to "cook" it clean.
Heat the pan on maximum with plenty of kitchen salt on it, it will absorb some of all the
dirt there are in the surface.
let it cool down and then heat it with cooking oil, cool down again.
clean it like you normally do and it should be ready for the next year or two.
