Oh, I didn't catch that part. I have those scrolling ads blocked. I just get the flashing add boxes on the side of the webpage. Glad I missed the yodeling catfish! (I despise those scrolling ads. Nothing keeps me from a website more than those).

well at least this guy isn't pretending he's not advertising....

Michelle and Lalitha: Funny you mention carbon steel today. Carbon steel pans (or at least one to try) are on my "to get" list, and I almost went to the restaurant supply store on my way to Home Depot today. I am especially revved up about that possibility now that my new range has been delivered. (Not yet in service, sadly.) Could be the thing that supercedes cast iron for me! (Although that is not really much of a change -- just a few percent of C.) Wouldn't mind lighter pans with the same cast iron attributes! vieja, I believe that aluminum is safe to cook with. There was an initial scare about 20+ years ago when aluminum was found in plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. But, that observation has been disputed, and, more importantly, there is no reason to think dietary aluminum plays any role anyway. (Only 0.3% of aluminum that you eat finds its way past your GI tract.) From WebMD: On the other hand, various studies have found that groups of people exposed to high levels of aluminum do not have an increased risk. Moreover, aluminum in cooking utensils does not get into food, and the aluminum that does occur naturally in some foods, such as potatoes, is not absorbed well by the body.
