Many home cooks tell me that they want to get rid of their chemical-laden non-stick frying pans, but they struggle to get to grips with alternatives like stainless steel or cast iron.
Non-stick coatings certainly make cooking more intuitive. You don't need to learn any technique or prep ahead to get a good sizzle going. With alternative materials, there's a little learning curve required, but it will pay off in the long run. Plus, you'll get to reap the health benefits of using non-toxic kitchen appliances.
