You little Spitfire! You're approaching this like an Engineer. Take a more
artistic approach. Don't make broccoli! Hell, the first President Bush
didn't eat it. Make stickier stuff like hush puppies with syrup, or anything
with
a cheese sauce (some Wisconsin Dairy farmers are starving). That stainless
will work fine!

PS
Or....ignore the problem completely, and consider stuff falling from your
stainless an alternative to the current South Beach diet craze.
