I’ve made pot-stickers in my stainless steel skillet many times. Despite the reputation, these dumplings did not give much trouble. I’d add a number of stickers, already boiled, to my pan, immediately tossing them to get them uniformly coated in hot oil. Any adhesion is brief and will release as the food browns up. I turn them to brown on another side, then drain on a paper towel before serving.
Other foods are similar in behavior- use a little fat, then wait until it browns a bit and it’ll release easily.
