And Cast Iron skillets, or Stainless are the only rule in my house.

When I was a kid, my mom bought a "teflon" pan. I remember cooking eggs in it, and amazed that the eggs didn't stick. Eventually that coating scraped off, and we threw it out, and went back to good old cast iron pans.

When my wife and I married 30 something million years ago, I asked my mom, or her mom, or someone's mom for a set of cast iron pans to cook with in our new life together. At the wedding shower I was handed an American made set of pans and 8 qt pot. Good thing I was he-man strong back then, cause that box was heavy.

I still use those pans and that pot on a daily basis today.

on a side note, since I've been eating butter and olive oil, almost exclusively for a couple years now, when I was up at our cabin in VT a few weeks back, I bought a "Newmans Own" oil and vinegar salad dressing, because it seemed to be a good, quick fix for not having any Oil and Vinegar around. The second ingredient was Canola oil. Gave me the shits the next day, and although I loved how it tasted, I threw it out. Paul Newman was one of my favorite movie stars, cause he was into racing, but I'm staying away from his salad dressings.

Steve McQueen had him beat, hands down... lol
