Teflon is still a P.I.T.A. since you can't heat it above XXX degrees without it vaporizing and causing teflon fumes. So screw it.

I'm OK with other no-stick stove-top instruments in a pinch. But it's not an intelligent choice when there is a heating element embedded directly under it. It will be the first (and fastest) spot to bubble and flake. And by Teflon, I mean ANY anti-stick surface.
I'll keep looking. I use the electric skillet just about weekly for something. PLENTY of real skillets, yes, both stainless and cast iron. And one wok, which has not seen the light of day in decades. It has a small (if any?) flat cooking area. Bought that when stir-fry was all the rage.
I JUST REMEMBERED ABOUT THE WOK!!! (Your pic above.)
The first time I used it, that "heat ring" (or whatever it is called) completely scorched the area around the burner. Gas, if I recall... the previous range pre-'86. THAT is why I never used it again... could never get rid of the burn/scorch... and was glad to get the new range. Never wanted to chance it again.

I'm not watching your video!!! It's gonna gross me out... or scare me... or be in some other way offensive!!!
::nyah!!!::
Yeah. For American ranges, either get a 14-inch carbon steel flat bottom wok, or don't use the heat ring and hang on to the handle. Not recommended for deep-frying unless you're REAL careful (tippy if not flat bottomed).
Oh...there's also anodized aluminum to think about....
I purchased some of those for the GF for Christmas a while ago.

I sense my planned convos for next week are going to be met with much scorn and disdain. You'll see why when I broach the subject.

We are all looking forward to your recipe conversations Bear. We also enjoyed your yard pics...
Just because we discuss stuff and options and opinions, doesn't mean scorn or disdain.

with the birds here i have to be extra careful and don't set my temps above 400 or leave the stove unattended ....
Yeah Tibs. When I learned that little factoid (Teflon = dead birds) I really started thinking twice about it.
I learned how to cook without it (and it's better without it).
Not that I haven't purchased my share of teflon for myself or gifts in previous decades (and particularly when my income was higher).
All decent pans are moderately expensive...or worse...very expensive.
The other thing you can do is A) Find a restaurant supply shop that also sells to retail, or B) find outlet malls that discount such stuff or C) use the internet.

Cool story Catt. Hoggie is a programmer as well! I didn't know that. Cool.
Glad he's doing well.

apparently not as well as he used to
judging by the emails in my inbox announcing 10% quite frequently! years ago you were lucky to get 5% .................................. once in a blue moon

Probably economics of scale. The story says he's in 6 states now, and lots of locations. Probably gets better discounts with larger quantity purchases. Or he raised his prices a bit and now gives more 10% offs. Who knows?
I don't think you can go by that. It's a sign of competition though.

his margins must have dropped some but still, 18 million in sales last year is nothing to sneeze at even though 118 employees, warehouses in 6 states and rent on all the stores must weigh quite a bit on the bottom line
