Nothing new here, folks. Just a technology update, with the trendy words and marketing to appeal to the techno smart. I can remember my mother saying how excited everyone was for the marketing of white, processed bread. Then the fun of breaking apart the little red dot in margarine to spread the color. That was my job as a kid, I loved it, then T.V. dinners to eat at the T.V. tray while watching T.V. I ate cold hot dogs filled with preservatives and who knows what? It goes on and on until this latest bamboozle. Some people have gotten wise, while the rest will tout the wonders of this new technology.

Ditto, DD. One more thing. We were thrilled to spray Pam on our skillets too!

That probably was a better choice than the non-stick pans, they are loaded with toxins, even the "better" ones. I have gone back to cast iron and stainless steel. Ceramic work if they are not coated. Sheesh

I still have some cast iron! Maybe I need to start using again! 😊Hmm! Maybe that’s why Mom is 98 years 7 months young!!

You know it isn't just from cast iron! There are so many factors at play/ diet, attitude, karma, and so much more. That cast iron is superior to most pots and pans, it just needs maintenance. Too much work for most. My son calls the pan "the wrist breaker."

I've used cast iron for my entire adult life. Wasn't Pam the same stuff as what was on the non stick pans except in volatile form?

Could be, Teflon was an engineering disaster.
