That's' true about Teflon in that I've heard that for years, too. I remember as a kid, all we had were the black wrought iron skillets. I have no idea how we kept food from sticking to the pan, especially eggs fixed over easy or sunny side up. I can't imagine trying to turn them without breaking them all over the skillet. <sigh>

i have a stainless steel frying pan with an aluminum clad bottom (on the outside of it)
and a cast iron frying pan i've also had for a while and use regularly. it came with seasoning instructions stamped directly into the underside of it which i thought was so cool,,,,so old school and practical! anyways, i seasoned it when i got it and when i wash it, it is the last thing i wash in the dishwater (it is just what i do, others may do something different). first i wipe out any oil and crumblies, then do a quick wash and rinse, nothing fierce, and dry it off right away and wipe a thin coat of oil around the inside of it. sometimes i will boil a bit of water in it to loosen up any crumblies (it happens), dump it out, rinse with hot water (as usual), dry it off and right away wipe a little oil on it while the pan is still hot. works great for eggs and such. i really like it a lot, but it is not a frying pan you just soak and/or scrub and toss on the dish rack to dry

i hope that was thorough enough, i just do it without thinking about it and hope i haven't left anything out.

anyway, it was just a small bit i had heard on the radio about teflon not being good, but here is an article (the title says much) that goes into more

and another article (that is not the complete, wish it was, but still may be of value) i do think it is relevant

this makes me sad for the man and his wife

isaac asimov: "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

seriously, this stuff needs attention.

i posted this a little over a year ago here, and the other day someone told me (because i had told them about it) that they had recently heard a radio dj give a shout out for possums, asking that folks not be so hard on them, highlighting (on the air) their proficient deer tick eating skills.

i thought that was awesome…..possum

that bottom link up there is jacked-up for some reason. i will attempt this, but then you will need to copy and paste it into where you straight up put the web address

i was thinking about accuracy in reporting and the fairness doctrine again.
fairness doctrine introduced in 1949, then became a casualty of the reagan administration 1987, language implementing doctrine formally removed in 2011.
