Actually it turned out not to be a problem. The nonstick stuff seems to
adhere better to the springform pan than it did to the $25 WearEver 8"
saut+AOk- pan I have that a woman guest ruined in one use. Before she got a
hold of it, it was in perfect condition. This is what it looked like
after she got through with it, cooking scrambled eggs and scraping the
surface with a metal spoon.

Fascinating, isn't it, how a woman wouldn't know better than to use a
metal spoon in a pan like this. And it's literally the best nonstick pan
in the house. Out of the dozens of pots and pans we have to cook in, she
picked this one to abuse, my favorite of our small pans. Maybe she's just
not an experienced cook, but I later found out she's an experienced
prostitute. She wouldn't have even been in the house if I'd had my say,
but it isn't MY house, but my friend's, and he wanted them (her and her
friend) to come here. The man ended up stealing a bunch of stuff before
my friend kicked him out after calling him a piece of shit.

Someone else later got a hold of the pan and tried to use it to deep fry
something. He put too much oil in the pan and tried to pour some off,
slopping grease down the side of it, getting it under the pan, and then
setting it back on the glass-top range to burn the oil and stain the
bottom. Well, staining the bottom isn't the end of the world, but I
simply can't get over the nonstick surface.

Maybe some would ridicule me for being so nitpicky, but *I* know how to
make things like cookware and CDs last. My oldest CD is in as good a
condition as my newest CD. And I looked forward to decades of pleasure
using my little pan until *she* came along and destroyed the poor little
thing. Yes, I could buy a new one, I suppose. But I don't make a lot of
money, so when I do spend money on something extra, I like to go
high-quality if I can and that pan was one of those purchases. It just
sizzles my butter every time I think about it.

I need a sedative.
