Gotta new non-stick fry pan, Itsa Copper Chef from WW.

Apparently, "ceramic" is the new thing. No "ptfe" or "pfoa", plus
stainless steel. .

I expect Bruce to fill me in.

I baught it at Walmart (as seen on TV), but have learned (thnx to Gobble), it's all
the rage. (Green, white, copper colored) Even Calaphon and yer fave
girl --Rachael Ray-- is onboard.

I use it only fer scranbled eggs. Ceramic, the new dog on the block,
(since 2005!). ;)

Let us know how it goes. I still prefer these:

<https://www.amazon.com/Vollrath-Z4012-Wear-Ever-CeramiGuard-Handle/dp/B003ZTNLL8>

Even putting them in the dishwasher, they last for years. I've got
one I bought in 2014 and it's still slick.

I saw a bunch of ceramic pans at Macy's. It is going to be trending. The word on the street is that teflon pans release deadly gasses. My guess is people will be buying ceramic in droves. My guess is that people will abandon them after using them for a while.

The word on the street is often full of shit.

Which deadly gasses? In what concentrations?

Every time you exhale you release a deadly gas. Just not in sufficient
concentrations to do any harm unless you're in a very small enclosed
space.

The word on the street is the word on the street. Who ever said that the word on the street was real? What deadly gasses? The same deadly gasses that were released when Teflon pans were introduced. These deadly gasses will kill hundreds of birds in a room. Well, at least, that's the word on the street.

Its crap.

Well not complete crap.
If you take very very good care of it you can expect 2-4 years out of
it before the non stick wears out.
If you keep it free of scratches then it will work great for about a
year then the non stick will start to fade slowly.

The dish washer is a NO NO.
Abrasive cleaning pads and steel wool is a NO NO
Only clean with soft sponges.

Do not ever store anything on top of it.
Not pots, lids (unless properly fit), cups (plastic or glass), silver
wear.. anything at all. After use and gentle cleaning use a paper
towel to smear a little oil along the inside then cover with a cloth.
Rinse when ready to use.

Seriously trending? Dude you know the copper cookware has been in
existence for about 12,000 years. Ceramics for much longer, using
copper really went mainstream in the 19th century (1800's). So there
is nothing new at all about them. Ceramic coating has been around for
10 or so years so still nothing new about that

Everything that you know is a subset of everything that I know so you got no call to be condescending.

Copper Chef has nothing to do with copper cookware. It's just a marketing gimmick. Ceramic coating has indeed been around for a while. Teflon type coatings have been around for a while. The idea that Teflon pans, when overheated, will release a toxic gas that can be fatal to boids is nothing new.

What is new is that younger generation's awareness of the release of semi-toxic gas. Evidently, some sort of critical tipping point has been reached. I predict that ceramic coated pans will be trending. When they find out that ceramic coatings are not that durable, they'll switch back to Teflon coated pans.

That's just my opinion. If you have an opinion of your own then please let it be known to all. Just don't make the mistake that your opinion has anything to do with my opinion.

The reality is that I've never heard of anybody being kilt by Teflon gas - just a few boids.

The Teflon problem is really a poor cook problem. If gives off the gas
when heated to about 500 degrees. A lot of things give off toxic fumes
when heated to 500 degrees. No reason to heat it that high.

Some of the best cooks in the world cook at very high temperatures. I was looking at a bunch of non-stick pan sets and they all said to cook at low to moderate temperatures. That pretty much turned me off to them because that's cooking for sissies. The Martha Stewart pan set said that high heat could cause the pans to liquify. I have no idea what that means but it was certainly alarming!

I've been putting my nonstick pans in the dishwasher for years. I've
got some that are more than 6 years old.

Don't need them on nonstick.

Or the dishwasher.

All of my pots and pans hang on the wall.

I don't store anything that way. Lids hang up; cups have their own
place in the cupboard, silverware in the silverware drawer.

A place for everything and everything in its place.

No need to gum up nonstick pans by storing them with oil.

No need.

We should experiment with that. Let's cook Bruce at 500F and
see what happens. Bet you that creates many deadly gases. oh man
