Ahh!! The iron debate again. I purchased an expensive iron (steam) and only had it a few months. called manufacturer since it was under warranty. Have yet to hear anything from them. Sent email and no response. I will stick to the cheaper hot ones. I use a spray bottle can't stand the Best Press because of the price and odor. I do just fine with my Sta-Flo which I can control the stiffness. I miss my old GE but after 40+ years I guess it was time to bite the dust. A Teflon can only tolerate so much heat otherwise the Teflon coating will come off. That's why it's hard to get a good sear in a Teflon skillet for a steak.
