That can't be good! Oh.- and I just read you are NOT supposed to use cooking spray (like Pam) on Teflon plans - it ruins it!! Too late for me. banana on "Do you use non stick pans?

I wonder if that's why they always recommend to not have it at medium to medium-high heat when using nonstick pans. Alivoo01 on "Do you use non stick pans?

I try not to spend too much on nonstick pans since i'll usually replace them every couple of years. Any oils/fats will help make food not stick to the pan, as long as the pan is hot when you start cooking. There's nothing worse than putting eggs or meat onto the pan when it's cold and having everything stick! mrs. bird on "Do you use non stick pans?
