Eggs on stainless is more of a parlor trick than practical in my case. Don't use a dishwasher, polish with barkeepers friend, season the pan by heating about 1/4" inch of oil in the pan and letting cool. Use fairly low heat and a flat metal flipper.
How To Get Eggs Not To Stick To Stainless Pan

I cook eggs all the time on my all clad stainless. Make sure pan is hot, then the oil. I use the stop and shop canola spray. Any type of eggs, always comes out perfect. Its just technique... Easy, you can do it. I wonder if the OPs Paderno pan is the real culprit. Its supposed to be quality, but who knows-maybe that's why the original owners got rid of them?
I've cooked hamburgers in it, and a host of other things.

The Frugal Gourmet (remember him?) used to say, "Hot pan, cold oil, food won't stick."
I heat my All-Clad for 3-1/2 minutes over my electric burner set on 4/10. Then add butter. It bubbles quickly but doesn't pop or spatter.
Then I add my eggs. Leave 'em alone till the edge is dry, then flip. Then the eggs usually can move freely just by moving the pan. I either let it be & get a frittata-type dish or I can scramble then a bit, by that time the pan is good & the eggs usually won't stick at all.
You all have problems getting eggs sticking to pans?? Really?
I bought one a few months ago. It was my first non-nonstick pan. I love it. I did also buy some cast iron that I really enjoy as well. But this guy is great. If I had one complaint it's that the edges are a little shallow so I don't feel like I can put much liquid in, but I rarely use it with anything that needs much liquid. I haven't used any other brands so I certainly couldn't say it's as good as them, but if you're like me and just want to try one out before spending a lot of money I would say this is a winner.
