The Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith) always said on his show, "Hot pan, cold
oil, food won't stick." I never found that to be true at all. I have no
problem using nonstick cookware. I just have a problem when some flaming
idiot ruins it with a metal spoon.

I used to have a good non-stick Airbake pizza pan...until we got some
company for a few days, and she decided to not only cut a pizza on the
pan, but she used a staineless steel scouring pad on it to scrub off some
pizza that stuck to it. So that pan is now ruined. I think she also ran
the hot pan under cold water, because it's now so warped that you could
use it as a base for a rocking chair. Another woman. How can women be so
clueless about how to handle cookware?
