The Bad Word on Teflon
Posted by Stephen Waits Fri, 17 Feb 2006 15:12:36 GMT
My wife’s been saying it to me for years. Don’t use non-stick pans - they’re evil. Not too long ago I followed her advice and stopped using them, even for my eggs.
Carl Tashian provides several links in this article about the badness in Teflon. He also goes on to talk about alternatives and methods to deal with “stickiness”. Particularly of interest to me is his dispelling of the myth that you don’t preheat your pan. Of course you preheat your pan! It’s not somehow “bad for the pan”.
Personally I’ve had my eyes on All-Clad’s Copper Core cookware. But, it’s expensive, and so it’s on the back burner for now.
