What's to be done with an old frying-pan?

Sorry for delay in answering you, I am having computer problems.

As Fred has stated, it is not as good a non-stick surface, but it is certainly a lot harder. Even if you do damage the surface, it will self repair next time you get the pan hot. Assuming that you do get a pan very hot before you put anything in it, that is.

One bad thing about this old fashioned non-stick surface, is that it can go on the bottom of a pan and that can be very dangerous, as the pan will slip and slide all over the hob.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember [e-mail] (D.M. Procida) saying something like:

Use it as an elephant-scarer.
