    Kind of want to throw mine out but I bought a stainless steel pan and it sticks like crazy. So I just didn't cook. Finally bought teflon and just said screw it...cant be much worse than walking around running cars all the time in the city.

    Responding to see if any tips come up on how to cook without everything sticking! Otherwsie teflon it is for me.

    Too much temptation to cook the bird, but as it stands, it would stick to the pans they have now, so they refrain.

    Then the hatred is not strong enough.

    The only "non-stick" I've ever really used are my cast iron pans. All the rest are either stainless steel or enamled cast iron.

    I have 1 non-stick pan and a whole set of Caphalon stainless pans. I love my stainless, but it's hard to keep them clean. Eventually, I'll be moving to a full cast iron set, but not for a while.

    Yes, they are long gone.

    I only cook in stainless steel All-Clad pans now. A sprinkle of salt and spritz of oil while heating the pan to medium heat even works while cooking an egg. I also spare the oil while pan-frying by using a small corner of the pan, while positioning the rest of the pan off the burner. This works great when I saute onions.

    I just cook bacon and eggs on the exhaust manifold of my Silverado.....

    No pans reuired, and the old motor oil keeps them from sticking....

    PFOA's are pretty nasty to birds. Actually a legit concern of cooking with teflon pans.

    Teflon fumes have been known to kill birds.

    I do like cast iron but find that its so hard to regulate temps. I often end up burning my food. Any advice?
