No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

A seasoned cast-iron is the way, likely you've not used your correctly OP.
Needs proper pre-heating prior to cooking and needs to be properly seasoned before being employed.
OP said the problem is that they're too heavy for Mrs. OP, not that they stick. I managed that problem for years by leaving mine on its designated burner 24/7. Until I got a glass top and had to stop using it.
What's wrong with the glass top?
The otherwise magnificent 50-year-old 14" pan has such a downward-domed and knobbly bottom it only makes about 2 square inches of contact, so it not only won't heat up, and wobbled, it was going to scratch/break the stovetop.
I have two pans like this and I love them soooo much, but they don’t fit my regular flat top OR induction burners… might be time to gift them to loved ones who have fire in their house still.
It used to settle into my old electric coils on the old stovetop just fine, but when it died mid-Covid I had to take what I could get.
Saaaame and saaaaame hahaha. I do prefer the flats and inducts to coils for sure, but I cannot use one of my favorite pans or my wok anymore. D:
Carbon steel
And if cast iron is too heavy, then use carbon steel or stainless. We just keep a Teflon pan to cook those frozen rotis.
Yeah, they are great. So much more durable than any coated pan.
And a healthy natural source of iron as opposed microplatsics & teflon.
Where will I get my teflon and microplastics then?
Oh, right. Everywhere.
a teflon pan won't emit anything if you use soft tools like wood or silicone. it's the manufacturing that puts out forever chemicals.
not that it matters, since we can't really absorb molecules that long and it's already literally everywhere.
I'm curious how you came to this conclusion. PFAS and PFOS stay in your body for an incredibly long time and can accumulate quickly. We have no easy way of processing them out, and yes we absorb them into our longer term cells like muscles and fat.
It's an incredibly important health problem the world is facing, as every variant of PFAS and PFOS causes cancer. and there is no medical way to remove PFAS once its in your body. The absolute best you can do is lower (you can't eliminate) your exposure over time and hope the build up isn't enough to trigger cancer growth before you get cancer or die from another source of industrial pollution.
teflon itself isn't a pfas afaik, but they're used to produce it.
Teflon, or PTFE, is a type of PFAS, and is the most famous and most numerous contaminant in that family and the most likely contaminant to cause PFAS-related cancers in the developed world.
wouldn't it need an alkyne group for that?
