What's wrong with using stainless steel, cast iron, etc to cook? Banning non-stick is no big deal even if I currently use it for some low heat cooking, don't mind perma switching.

This is making me feel better about the wear on my non-stick pans.

That was a question I had based on my first impression of the product but he actually addresses this issue in the video. They've built the process so that they can actually use edible materials as the non-stick coating layer to ensure that it is safe, sometimes using the actual product that the container will hold in order to not adulterate the taste in any way.

At least he's not using a non-stick pan this time. ugh.

*downunder. metal spoon on a non-stick pan hurts me.

Yes, and proper lubrication. I've a theory that egg temperature matters too. Cold eggs stick more. >> ^rottenseed:
>> ^dag:
Have no non-stick pans in the house. I don't miss it except when I cook eggs. It's tough to keep fried eggs from sticking in a stick-skillet - though it can be done.

I always think about a short order cook with one of those teppanyaki style gas-heated metal plates to cook on and how they never have any problems flippin' eggs. I think the key element (along with proper oiling of the device) is heat.


does the Leidenfrost effect come into play here???

^Also never trust a chef who uses a non-stick pan.

And *drugs reference at the end.

"That is a purely emotional hot-word statement. If you are an activist against climate change, can you say that you have powered your home entirely by wind and sun? I've got $100 that says no. Have you stopped your entire use of non-stick cookware on account of its heavy metals? I've got $100 that says no. How much paper do you use in a day at work and at home... that includes paper-towels and toilet paper? ..."

I would actually say yes, if they are extreme enough to protest and preach to others about it, 100% yes they should do all those things, otherwise to me they are hypocrites, just like Al Gore leaving all his floodlights on on earth day. Its like a "vegetarian" saying dont eat meat, and then getting a burger. SO that argument does not work with me sorry

>> ^yourhydra:
anti-abortionists have no argument untill they each adopt five unwanted children.

There is as I understand it a waiting list for people in the US to adopt newborn babies who are up for adoption. Think about it. If you were wanting a child and you could not have one for some unfortunate genetic or other reason, you'd want still to raise a child from infancy wouldn't you? Basically most completely infertile couples who wish to raise a child want an infant. And I don't doubt that if you told them "if you don't take this child it will be aborted," most of them would jump to and do many things to get the child. Most Americans (at least) by statistics don't like the idea of abortion and would like to raise an infant who would otherwise be so aborted.

I had a roommate who was adopted as an infant and there is no doubt in his mind that he appreciates his adopters to the alternative.

There ARE people who adopt many many "unwanted children" and in my eyes they are saints given that they can give them what they need... as many do. They often make great sacrifices in order to do so.
