Teflon will outgass around 600 degrees and mild flue like symptoms have been reported. Your cooking oil, lard or shortning will have reached it's smoke point between 350-425 degrees and the smoke produced will have killed your birds long before you reach the teflon's ourgassing temperature.

Nonstick and wok are two words that usually don't go well togather. Wok cooking requires extreme high heat that would probably destroy the nonstick surface. Now if you're using it for it for stir-fry that's probably OK.

Wash them in warm soapy water. Some only wipe thiers off but that dosn't sound like a very good practice to me. The only nonstick I use a wet towel to clean are the George Foreman grills and that's be cause they aren't emersable.

I don't have a CI grill pan but I do have a Calphalon hard anodized and an Anolon hard anodized with nonstick cooking surface plus a De'Longhi electric grill and much prefer using the De'Longhi. It heats rapidly and I really like that it has a lid. It's also great great for slow cooking baby...

My advise is if your GF likes nonstick that would be what to get.

The Sale/Clearance area at potsandpans.com is also a good place to find bargains. I just placed an order for 4 of these. The shipping for all four was less than $8.00...

I've found many bargains in such places as TJMaxx. You need to know prices when in TJMaxx because somethings will be a great bargain and others will be the same as can be bought new. also if there's a Bed Bath & Beyond near you sign up for thier mailing list and you will get a sale catalog with...

BB&B shows a Calphalon One nonstick 12" fry pan for $49.99 on thier web site. If you're on thier on thier mailing list you probably have a pile of 20% off coupons. Good deal.

My thoughts are that this is Circulon's top line cookweare and should compete very well with any other cookware in it's price range. My daughter has Circulon Style which was thier top of the line when she bought it plus a few pieces of Circulon professional and they all performe very well...

My daughter uses Circulon and tells me that the cooking surface isn't a cleaning a problem. Why would it be? It's a high quality nonstick surface. She also says when cooking eggs the ridges aren't a problem.

I have no use for cast iron cookware. We usually had a few pieces of cast iron but found they were'nt being used so we gave it away except for an eight inch skillet I saved to use for making cornbread until found I prefered Pyrex for cornbread and gave that one away also. I recently purchased...

The oil or shortning that is used for cooking, in any type cookware, will reach it's smoke point at a much lower temp than the danger point of teflon cookware and be just as harmeful to your birds and others but the "don't use teflon" people completely ingore this. So if you're worried about...

I'm also an Anolon fan and bought a Calphalon One nonstick 10" everyday pan to compare to the Anolon cookware I have and find that I prefer the Anolon Titanium and Advanced nonstick.

Start with a smaller 8 or 10 pc set and add as needed. TJMaxx usually has bargains on thier shop worn cookware but you need to lnow what a new item costs because some of thier stuff is the same price as can be found new elsewhere. If you have a Bed Bath and Beyond get on thier mailing list...

When I decided to upgrade our cookware I decided Calphalon Commercial nonstick was what I was going to get until I bought my first piece of Anolon. After that it was mostly Anolon. The Anolon advanced is coated with Dupont's Autograph II inside and outside also. Makes clean up a snap. The...

Is this it? Image: Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Multi-Purpose Pot with Glass Cover Are you using gas or electric? I don't think this design is very functional for stovetop use if the pot is much larger that 2 1/2 or 3 qt. Great for the oven but the small bottom will limit...

Most 10 in. saute pans will have a helper handle but 10 in. skillets usually don't.

Cutco is definitely not a good value for money spent. Better value can be had for a lot less money.

Newer slow cookers come with warnings not to use the pots in the oven.

I think it's funny the way normally level headed people react when they hear about the posibility that teflon can be harmful when overheated and ignore the fact that any cooking medium whether liquid or solid will be just as harmfull to birds and humans when heated past thier smoke points which...

My prefered cookware is Anolon Advance and Titanium. I have one piece of Calphalon One nonstick and compared to the Anolon I don't find the Calphalon One to be of superior quality. I actually prefer the Anolon Titanium over any other cookware that I have tried.

I've used a couple of the Belgique pieces and didn't think they were that good. I much perfer Cuisinart Chef's Classic which is around the same price. Also-the Belgique came with a warning about the possibility of melting and bonding to a ceramic cooktops when used at too high heat.
