After all the hype, and trouble, about "Teflon" and aluminum, I am very nervous about "the latest and greatest" next new thing. I gave up on aluminum because of the Alzheimer's issue, so I went out and bought all stainless steel. Love them, but I will share a major time saving tip I recently found. I am currently teaching two young mothers how to cook without opening boxes or cans. Since they are learning, and occasionally will burn something, (sometimes the food is so charred, that I can't tell what it once was. lol) Needless to say, I either had to find a way to remove the charred food, or buy new pans constantly. I found a 'life hack' that suggested using coffee to remove the mess. I thought, "yeah right" but works! Pour brewed coffee into the burnt pan, let stand about 30-60 minutes. After soaking in the coffee, I was able to easily clean the pan with a light touch and a green scrubby. They also said this will clean grills! We are going to try that next to get ready for summer. Just be careful to dry the grate before storage to avoid rust.
Nice to hear that the newest pans are living up to the hype. Does anyone know if there has been any studies to be sure nothing leached into the food?
