It was recommended that people reduce or stop the use of nonstick(teflon) cookware as the coating comes off when you heat the pan and it goes into your food. Do you still use non-stick cookware?
remarkably i have not heard this warning ..but yes, i do use non-stick pans and bakeware. because its easier to clean rather than uncoated cookware. i will go on using teflon coating pans..but if push comes to shove, i will switch to regular pans and use a lot of non stick spray
Answer to:
When someone keeps asking the same question over and over and just changes one word, are they trolling for points? And do you find it irritating?

Yahoo! Answers has a comment field for questions so we can ask one & give up to a 1,000-character summary about it. I would appreciate there being one, so can this happen? Are there plans for it?
ok, iam an EX-Yahoo user..but i dont think it would be in everyone's interests to implement Yahoo's features to help improve AB's image. AB is a unique site...just like Yahoo.
im sure the staff can come up with their own ways to improve AB's image as a whole

"expert" it makes me sound like iam a smart cookie in all areas of AB...even though iam just another random user and am not as smart as some may think. but by interacting on a daily basis, i can gain much knowledge while having fun -socializing.
Answer to:
While using the "comments" section, do you sometimes get into a heated debate with other users? ive seen some debates turned into a nasty feud one time..
i have been in one or two debates almost turned into a raving lunatic festival...some take AB way too seriously..relax! take some deep breathe
