Teflon is fine if you know how to use it and take care of it.

You apparently don't.

On the appliance listserv I used to be on, they would vociferously
advocate NEVER using Pam for cooking, because they claimed you would
never get the gunk off. I don't use Pam, but that's what all the
old-timers on that group have been saying for years.

That's rabbit hunting with an elephant gun. 91% isopropyl alcohol on
a paper towel does the trick. I know how to deal with oil residue
because I fry so darned much.

I still haven't tried the silicone spray idea that I learned a couple
of months ago on my stainless steel sink to cut down on water spots.
We don't have an automotive store nearby anymore and I don't think
about buying silicone spray until an inopportune moment.

I only have a couple of teflon pans that I use mainly for cooking
eggs, but I guess I'm missing something here. I was under the
impression that_nothing_sticks to teflon.

I'm sorry. I think I probably have mentioned it, but never put it in
a topic. The alcohol leaves zero residue of its own. I use it on
cast iron too when necessary.

And you just use a paper towel? I'm going to try that. I have some
crud on the outside of my cast iron fry pans that I'd like to get rid
of and if the alcohol trick shines up the one shiny pot I have, maybe
I'll consider buying All Clad after all. Macy's has a big sale next
week.

Advertising hype.

If you get a teflon pan hot enough, cooking oils and other things can
burn on and stick to teflon. I once cooked Trader Joe's crab cakes in
a fairly new teflon pan and whatever bizarro ingredient was in those
cakes burnt on to the teflon and took a year to get completely off.
They also left discolored spatter marks that never did fade. Even
worse, the crab cakes were terrible tasting.

Can't help with the residue but I thought it was common knowledge that
oil sprays shouldn't be used with non-stick?

I've got corning ware baking dishes that occasionally get gunked up and
I think the use of Pam spray is the cause.

I quit using cooking sprays years ago. Would rather just use a swipe of
olive or coconut oil.

I still use cooking spray in my baking pans. Nothing gets in the

I bake very little any more. And when I do I just use foil pans.

I think most commercial non-stick sprays contain lecithin, which
gradually forms a hard and almost unremovable coating. Usually, I use a
Misto sprayer containing olive oil.

I have some restaurant quality half sheet pans that I absolutely
forbid anyone to use cooking spray on. Once that stuff gets baked on
it's like trying to remove epoxy.

You missed the underlying point. You're not supposed to *need* to use
cooking oils or sprays in teflon-coated pans. That's where the advertising
hype comes in. And I certainly wouldn't try to cook crab-cakes in a pan
that isn't supposed to need oil. Mine cook up just fine in my Revere
Ware... with oil

Hmmm...

Is there a difference from Teflon use for frying and Teflon for baking?
I have some Teflon baking pans, for those I use "Pam For Baking". I
wonder if the original OP was using plain old "Pam" on a baking pan
instead of a frying pan.

I do not own a Teflon frying pan. But I do own a teflon griddle for
pancakes.

Heat it up, and scrub with a wadded paper towel. whatever is left will
do no harm, and may come off the next time you clean the pan.

Also, try cooking something that involves a water-based liquid and an
acid (simmer a batch of spaghetti sauce in it); that might get rid of it
too.

But realistically, why not just leave it; what harm will it do?

> God, I hate teflon.

Nowhere near all "non-stick" pans use teflon these days; are you sure
you're hating the right material?

Are you sure the bad taste wasn't because they were overcooked and/or
burnt? I've cooked TJ's crab cakes several times, and the pan doesn't
get hot enough to make anything stick, and they taste pretty decent.

You can also find it masquerading as "sports shoe waterproofer";probably
an athletic or sports shoe store would have it.

I had one of those but I had issues with it. For one thing it was too tall
to fit in any of my cupboards. For another, it always seemed to have a
nasty sticky coating on the outside.

Yeah, I'm sure. I've made crab cakes at home and in a restaurant.
These TJ things were jes plain bizarre. Maybe I got a bad batch or
they were TJs first crab cake creation (1st gen) or who knows. I know
how to cook crab cakes and the substance these cakes emitted or
excreted or whatever was not even remotely natural. I bet if I went
to my daughters house and looked at the frying pan, which I gave her
when I moved, I bet I can still detect the splatter stains from
whatever the Hell those other-world patties contained.

Contrary to popular perception, not all TJ food products are natural,
organic, environmentally friendly, or even particularly good tasting.
While I shopped there occasionally, it was for a very small selection
of items I considered exceptional, even brilliant. Otherwise, I
consider most of their proprietary product line to border on the
inedible. To say they carry some very strange foodstuffs is putting
it mildly.

- None of your cupboards have adjustable shelves? Or enough height
for, say, boxes of cereal?

- Squeeze bottles of oil develope a sticky coating too. But you are
allowed to clean them every once in a while. If soap won't do it, Goo
Gone will, very easily.

I don't put my food directly in the sink unless it's going into the
