Super-high heat can be just perfect for particular applications and, once you learn to think that way, can work for almost anything.
I need to learn to write better. Clearly I've been misunderstood.Sorry Ben, but even the manufacturers say to use moderate heat.
It'll only cost you $19.99 + S&H to find out firsthand. I know what you're saying, but while it works with seasoned cast iron, or stainless or whatever, the results with these things are more akin to superglue.
I didn't mean high heat could be used with any cookware; I meant that I prefer to use nothing but the cast iron that takes high heat well.Super-high heat can be just perfect for particular applications and, once you learn to think that way, you can use super-high heat and cast iron to cook almost anything that can be cooked in a pan.
I've been using Swiss Diamonds for years and they work great, but I also alsways use a little bit of olive oil when cooking stuff (I'm Italian.. I'd lose my card if I didn't cook with it).
They are not cheap, but they have treated me very well. I'm also a fan of Japanese knives (no.. not Ginsu ROFL), like the Shuns and Globals... much narrower blades than my German cutlery... in fact my "good" German knives only leave the block when someone else cooks.
I hear you. The Mrs. just dropped one of the larger knives in the sink 30 min. ago... and took the tip off it. :/ I guess I won't be buying that 1000 rds of ammo this week.. dam wimin...I’m with you on the global knives.
My in-laws call me a knife snob because I won’t allow them to use ‘em, not since I caught them cutting veggies on a paper towel on granite, instead of a cutting board.

I don't know why those are still around. The first embedded Teflon pans that were more durable and not as toxic when overheated (They went by the name T-Fal.) came out in the early 1970s. Given that much time, I'm surprised anybody still makes anything resembling 1st-gen Teflon-coated pans.The old Teflon pans...
There is a reason they kept parakeets in mines back in the day.
Identity politics...I thought it was canaries in coal mines?
The old Teflon pans should definitely be avoided. Not only do they not last, the Teflon can break down under high heat (like leaving a pan on the stove) and the fluorine compounds it gives off are extremely toxic. My sister managed to kill off her parakeets that way.
Nothing beats good old cast iron or steel. Box of Brillo pads and you can clean anything off of them.
I got it the first time.I also made a post elsewhere on this site that said :" I only smoke pot when drinking and cooking ." Maybe posting it here will allow SOMEONE to catch the meaning.
