i needed to ask abou the pans..

[MaryandMian 1]

We use spray veggie oil or Pam, butter, or whatever calls for the recipe really.

teflon can be dangerous if it starts flaking... your body can't digest teflon and it works kind of like a poison on you somehow. (I'm too lazy to look it up and can't remember exactly what it did)

Your right Faith and if you get it very hot and it gives off smoke it is toxic smoke before you add your foods. Newer products and not allowing the pans not to smoke is supposed to be fine now. I keep one nonstick for cooking eggs and omlets. I bought some Emerilware from HSN.com 3 yrs back and love it but it is not non stick.

If I could afford them I would buy AllClad. Best cookware ever made and I think they offer a non-stick line.

But they ain't in my budget........

I'm with you. Lots of $$$$ but worth it.

For my very lazy dishwashing days, I use my Hamilton Beach electric skillet.

Hmmmmm. I use teflon.

I use my microwave.....I recommend GE. It cooks evenly with little cleanup.

FDA, or whoever, said Teflon is ok, and especially if there is food in the pan the toxic gas or whatever it is won't hurt you. But don't let it flake. And don't use metal on it.

I recently saw a review in Cook's Illustrated saying that T-Fal's Jamie Oliver line was very good. And Wolfgang Puck's was good and less expensive. They also like Farberware. I think you can probably find those in Wally World.

Gasp! The one teflon pan I own has a scratch that is deep enough to see the metal.

Since the fiance is not here, I am in agreement with mercuryroad's culinary input.

i will never use any teflon coated pan again... gonna stick to my cast iron thank you...

[pedroh 21]

i got some t-fal pans.. the other ones looked too cheap.. and yea i found some iron cast skillets that are non-sticky.. but.. im not that careful with skillets (already messed one up with soap, its all rusty).. the other t-fal pans don't look cheap.. and got some plastic spatulas lol

We have a cast iron store not too far from the house...I love cooking with cast iron. This store sells pre seasoned cast iron too, which is nice. Other than that...18/10 gauge stainless steel cookware can be bought at wally world for a reasonable price. Although...if I was given a choice of anything...it would be Calphalon.
