Frying pan wants to violate my right to keep birds in the kitchen (rant)

[BeBMan]

Seriously, what's wrong with pan technology these days?

Every pan advertizes that it's teh best, super durable and heat-resistant, and easily cleanable in the dishwasher.

Once you read the fine print, it's usually "don't heat it up too much, too fast", "don't use sharp, metal things - fork, knife, whatever - in your new pan". And oh, you can put it into a dishwasher, and it doesn't explode, great. However, it's not recommended as it harms the (supposedly superhard) pan's surface over time

Yesterday I did further pan research and found one example that says the steam/smoke from frying could harm animals nearby, detailling specifically to not keep birds in the kitchen!

Teflon-lined pans are all crappy **** that should be all dumped on top of DuPont's headquarters.

Nothing wrong with the technology -- it's working exactly as designed. The fine print is just there to avoid legal liability.

Nothing new or notable about this. It's just an evil plot -- planned obsolescence to ensure an ongoing market need for new cookware.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Practically in Yugoslavia.

[N35t0r]

No, I'm pretty sure it is baked, even in Greece

There is a place called Frying Pan in the Northern Territory, Australia.

[Bereta_Eder]

I fully expect in future instructions to caution us against frying our own birds, if you know what I mean

[Bereta_Eder]

the title could be refering to a horned demigod with a knack for cooking in an unhealthy way btw

Why do Greeks worship a rapist goat-man?

[Uncle Sparky]

thanks for letting the world know you're both unreasonable untrustworthy partners who can't work out differences
