Bought a fancy ceramic set 2 years ago. Proud of myself. Always used medium heat. Last week I got a new stove thermometer. Cranked a pan to see what happened. It hit 500F in like 3 minutes. Teflon starts degrading around 400F. Checked the label. Tossed all of them. Anyone else realize their cookware is slowly poisoning them?
I remember going as a kid and it was all lights and energy. Now when I visit, it's just people staring at phones. We all know it's packed, but no one admits it's lost its spark. I kinda miss when you just showed up without a plan. It's fine to say some spots are not as fun anymore.
