Getting new cookware is exciting. Like Mike says, I enjoy using my heavy-weight stainless steel pots and my wonderful covered non-stick skillet. I also have a porcelain-coated cast iron Dutch oven that I love and use for pot roasts. You have to have the proper tools for the job, right? BTW, the lady at Williams-Sonoma (where I got my brand-new flared-side stainless steel roasting pan, after our last turkey came out raw on the bottom because the heat couldn't get to it) recommended using Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning cookware. It's a mild scouring powder that won't scratch. (See their web site at http://www.barkeepersfriend.com/products.htm.) SOS will scratch stainless steel and food will begin to stick. Hurray, Katie!

She likes her stainless steel, too. The non-stick does peel away if you scrape it with metal or SOS, so anyone who touches them or overheats them will be instantly destroyed. Beware!

Wouldn't it just... pass through? I use stainless steel pots and Teflon skillets. I also have a cast-iron skillet, which is supposedly good for anemia. I love my pots. They get so purdy and shiney after I scrub them with SOS! Well, if Teflon is non-stick, eating it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wouldn’t it just… pass through?
