Probably written by a lawyer. Overheating an empty pan can cause warping,
but I always pre-heat and add some fat and cook. Tri-ply pans are more
prone to layer separation from overheating that anything that could happen
to a solid aluminum or cast iron pan. Just us common sense.

Pancakes are best made on a flat griddle though.
