I had to put my $.02 in here because I have a slightly different take on non-stick pans. I always buy the cheapest ones available, because I consider them disposables. The non-stick coating only lasts a couple of years at the most, and when the pans become virtually useless, I go spend another $7.95 or so on a new one. (Actually, I found some at Ikea last week that were 2 for $6.95!) And I love using them. This viewpoint is directly at odds with that of my usual eco-nazi persona, but hey, consistency is the last resort of the unimaginative mind....

However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative. Yeah. Right.
