http://swaits.com/articles/2006/02/17/the-bad-word-on-teflon en-us 40 A Blog by Stephen Waits <p>My wife&#8217;s been saying it to me for years. Don&#8217;t use non-stick pans - they&#8217;re evil. Not too long ago I followed her advice and stopped using them, even for my eggs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tashian.com/">Carl Tashian</a> provides several links in <a href="http://www.tashian.com/carl/archives/2006/02/ditch_your_tefl.php">this article</a> about the badness in Teflon. He also goes on to talk about alternatives and methods to deal with &#8220;stickiness&#8221;. Particularly of interest to me is his dispelling of the myth that you don&#8217;t preheat your pan. Of course you preheat your pan! It&#8217;s not somehow &#8220;bad for the pan&#8221;.</p> <p>Personally I&#8217;ve had my eyes on <a href="http://www.allclad.com/">All-Clad&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.allclad.com/prodcoprcore.asp">Copper Core</a> cookware. But, it&#8217;s <em>expensive</em>, and so it&#8217;s on the back burner for now.</p> Fri, 17 Feb 2006 09:12:36 -0600 urn:uuid:0ef12413-a383-49b7-906d-86bb6de25a95 steve@waits.net (Stephen Waits) http://swaits.com/articles/2006/02/17/the-bad-word-on-teflon food http://swaits.com/articles/trackback/165
