grumpy, here's a comparison of several angles. After you view this explain how 30° is sharper than 20°. If we follow your logic then 180° must be sharper than both.
Is anyone still using black cooking utensils ? I binned all mine after watching a YouTube …I mostly had stainless steel,anyway
I simply refuse to buy or use silicone / plastic / cookware / utensils
It’s constantly reported that there has been an alarming increase (in Australia ) of stomach cancer in the younger generation …..could it be related to modern cookware
cooking with silicone / plastics in microwaves/ oven .,who knows ?? unless they do more through research

I pay attention to information on stomach cancer because my grandmother on my father's side died of stomach cancer and breast cancer (both).
Stomach cancer | World Cancer Research Fund
Learn about our evidence on how alcohol, salt-preserved food and living with overweight or obesity affect your risk of stomach cancer

China, Japan, and India have rates of stomach cancer 4-7 times greater than the US.
It is my thought that the younger generation is eating most of their food from the middle aisles of grocery stores where most of the food is very processed. It is formulated in such a way to make it the best tasting with a certain balance of salt, sugar, and oil for the best mouth feel and taste experience. To me, this is not food, this is an addictive over processed item masquerading as food. It is high in salt and many ingredients most of us don't use in our normal cooking. That is what I think is causing the next generation of stomach cancer.
Nah, and I'm not going to bin them just because they are black and could be leaching flame retardant. Here's a video from SciShow which came out today. Hank explains why this is not really a concern. Here's the video. It starts at the part about the black plastic utensils.

Speaking of black utensils:
Does anyone have any experience with that black cutlery that was very in fashion some years back?
I think it looks nice, but is it practical?

'Something's happened': Australians under 50 developing cancer at 'alarming' rates
Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.

As a cancer survivor, there is a lot of misinformation about what does, and does not cause cancer. Yes, there a many things that raise your risk for cancer, but not all cancers are caused by outside influences. Others are genetic, and in my case, the cancer I had was not genetic or related to outside causes. My oncologist told me that it was just something that happened.
All I can say is follow the science, not the latest news story on the internet.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread about gadgets.

Good suggestion casey.
This originally was a Thread about our purchasing foibles. I believe it was intended to be fun and interesting.
May I suggest that any further discussion off topic be started in a new Thread? please?
