  1. "What do you use instead of non-stick now?"

    See my earlier post (#256461):
    The only zero-risk cooking pans I know of are Corningware
    ceramic, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone has found a small
    risk with even them.

    A trace of natural butter on plain cast iron, and heat low enough
    it doesn't brown, works fine. Remember that less than 10% lipids
    in your diet is downright harmful; I'm certain that 20% is better
    as a minimum. And, for health, I'll take natural butterfat over
    chemical-company margarines any day. I must admit, though, that I
    steam most things - no excessive temperatures possible.

    I have a titanium frying pan, but it's non-stick properties aren't as
    good as Teflon.

    Hi John,

    let me talk about some boring Usenet stuff... 🙂

    [/boring Usenet stuff mode ON]

    That number depends on the news server where you read the post...

    For instance, the same post is #262453 on uni-berlin.de

    Only a Message-Id (or a Google Groups link) can univocally identify a
    post.

    Anyway, I recall your post: it's
    <news:[email hidden]>
    and on Google

    I have a cast iron grill, but it's not non-stick.

    I meant to ask: is there any non-stick substitute to Teflon?

    Sometimes I use ovenproof paper when cooking in the oven, it's
    stick-resistant as well. What is ovenproof paper coated with, by the
    way?

    I eat some 30% fat, but I generally like it raw, not cooked.

    What is margarine? ;-DD

    Just kidding.

    I mean I never use margarine.

    Maybe it depends on the make?

    What are they made of?

    I've found an online vendor, but their "keravis titanium" pans also
    contain a teflon layer.

    http://www.ballarini.com/faq2_3.htm
    Keravis + Titan

    A hardened PTFE, which allows for the inside and outside to become
    exceptionally tough. This top quality non-stick will stay on the
    cookware longer.

  8. Depends what you call good. The fact that it can be
    heated red hot without damage says something.

    The metal titanium which is used to make jet engines and high
    performance aircraft. It maintains its strength at very high
    temperatures and is as hard as steel. It forms an oxide on its exposed
    surface which keeps it from reacting from food.
