I'm actually rather busy today, for My one day off.Sunday mornin'... ho hummm...
Coffee is served!
Don't kill me, but I have not had a cup yet and no headache....... I am experimenting.
I haven't had any since this whole mess started. Maybe that was part of my huge headache this past week?
Non stick? If so, for how long, and what kind of shape are they in?So I went to walmart and lo and behold, they're selling CALPHALON cookware. That stuff is right up there with the likes of AL-CLAD and such for quality, it's made in the USA. Granted pricey compared to the other pots and pans there, but still, has a very good reputation as well made and lasts, so I bought a 12" and 10" fry pan, and the 10" even came with a lid. Very happy, can't wait to try them out. Time for an omelet tomorrow morning I think.
My ex wife still has the Calphalon set.
Yes there's definite rules to care for non stick, and that is what I bought. One, don't use too high of heat, preheat and cool them slowly, two, never run cool water in them when they're hot, three, use dish soap and a kitchen sponge to clean them, nothing real scratchy, four, don't stack them with other pans unless you pad between them with something, and five, usually, don't put them in a dish washer. Even so, eventually the non stick will degrade, they all do, you can't stop it. Some just last longer than others.My ex wife still has the Calphalon set.
I have my Calhalon but even with them one has to be careful. They have a "coated" line of products. Like any coated pan the coating will eventually wear off, get scratched and chip. I learned that the hard way years ago.
Sunday mornin'... ho hummm...
kaz, sometimes that is what the body needs.
Good Sunday morning. Enjoy services for those who go, and enjoy this beautiful day for those who don't.
About 65, and should get to 90 with sunny skies

Even with following all of those rules the net difference in how long they last doesn't justify the higher price in my opinion. We use T-Fal non stick pans and replace them as they wear out. What I have noticed making a difference is the quality of the spatulas and tongs. (Never use a fork or a knife or steel spatula/tongs. ) The better quality of those preserves the life of the non stick pans in my opinion.
I have a good T-Fal stainless steal fry pan that I really love. I've had it forever and it looks great. You just have to know how to cook with stainless.Non stick? If so, for how long, and what kind of shape are they in?My ex wife still has the Calphalon set.

Well, I'm going to jump on the Harley around noon and head down to this trendy little town between here and Madison. They're having some big thing going on in the park today and a couple of friends of mine are playing there in a band called "Chicken Head." I'll see if I can stay out of trouble.
Not to mention that copious amounts of coffee will tend to raise the blood pressure. Thus when stopping, the blood pressure may drop which could cause headaches, or even feeling lightheaded in extreme cases. This is usually temporary, and the body will adjust.Don't kill me, but I have not had a cup yet and no headache....... I am experimenting.

When I went cold turkey, my Dr told me the migraines I got were a direct result of that. Caffeine constricts your blood vessels. When you stop, the blood vessels are left without that constricting pressure immediately after the caffeine washes out if your system. HENCE, headaches. But if you slowly reduce the amounf of caffeine, you don't get headaches.
