I bet that would work for keeping my 1/2 marbles from slipping when I glue them to a bottle too! I have been using masking tape but that can leave residue or get glued on to the bottle itself. Foil would mold around them and hold them and not stick to any stray glue! Thanks for the great tip! ~~Mimi

lindac92, that is possibly the worst attitude to have and it's unfortunately all too common. The planet is a mess enough as it is without disposing of cheap crap because you can't be bothered to invest in and take care of good quality products. Can anybody tell me weather it's safe to use a cleaning product like Oven Sense on non-stick surfaces? I bought it to do my baking trays and then realised it might take off the coating. I really don't want to ruin my cookware.

have been satisfied with calphalon non-stick... especially because they will replace them free. i think who uses the non-stick is an extremely important factor. if someone if gonna ignore the proper use and abuse them... well, think there should be serious repercussions. i have had very good success with inexpensive non-stick from Big Lots... like $10-12 skillets. using correct tools and not beating them up will give a nice long life.

My non stick are Scanpan and not inexpensive. Purchased on sale of course, I rarely pay full price for anything and bargain shop for my kitchen along with everything else ;0) Those I have now are years old, no wear or scratches but I use only nylon or wooden utensils in them. I've used the $20 Costco skillets too, and those will show wear. Keep the nice heavy lid if retiring the Costco pan, it's surprising how many other brand large skillet it will fit and not all pans are sold with lids. That Costco lid even fits one of my pressure cookers allowing me to use it for a water bath canner ;0)
