Cast iron frying pansOver the past 60 years Du Pont has conned almost everyone into using Teflon frying pans. Now it’s like an underground secret, but cast iron frying pans make everything taste better. For frying meats, A LOT BETTER! It also turns out Teflon is very toxic.
Although far cheaper ones are available, the best cast iron frying pans are French Le Creuset ones which are available from online shops like table pride and the studio of tablewear
They are eye wateringly expensive at around $300 for a 28cm one with a wooden handle, but the food comes out so well they are worth it! Otherwise find a well used and well seasoned one second hand. The cheap new Chinese ones from places like Briscos are very inferior and may put heavy metals into your food.
Apart from the vastly improved flavour, the other good bit is that a good cast frying pan is almost as non-stick as Teflon and they are not poisoning you with toxic teflon. And they last for decades and get better with age.
Hi -- Because there's so much misinformation out there about Teflon, I'm not surprised that you are concerned. I'm a representative of DuPont though, and hope you'll let me share some information with you and your readers, so that everyone can make truly informed decisions. Regulatory agencies, consumer groups and health associations all have taken a close look at Teflon. This article highlights what they found -- the bottom line is that you can use Teflon without worry.

I'd truly be glad to share additional information about it if you are interested, and appreciate your consideration of this comment. Thanks, Ross.
i'd have to say that no pr could improve the taste!
