Kids and non-stick cookware



Recommended Posts

Dang it, brand new calphalon non-stick pan ruined by a 16 year old who won't realize when dad hides a pan in the back of the cabinate he doesn't want you to use it. It means you need to wash your other pans.

Instead she treats it like cast Iron, cranks up the stove to 11 and stinks up the whole house. ARRRG. Can't dad have a nice non-stick all to himself.

OK, I'll be quiet now.

Ha! My children are in their 20s and they still do stuff like that. The really awesome part is that they know that non stick pans can't go in the dishwasher (shortens their lives immensely) so they make a big nasty pile of them for me to wash in the sink! Apparently, nonstick pans require a "mother's touch"!

Your 16 year old cooks? Without a microwave?

Celebrate man, I'm a high school teacher and, as Jess suggested, a 16 year old who cooks for himself is gold. AND he's legal to earn money to replace the pan - go for the anodized aluminum while you've got someone else buying :)

Ha ha ha, this is so funny. I didn't purchase new pans until the last one moved out.

new calphalon non-stick pan ruined by a 16 year old

@@OKCPirate

:lol:

wayyyyyy back when my daughter was 16, she wouldn't even touch a frying pan

i think it scared her :D

she was helping me "once" LOL in the kitchen

couldn't clean this one mess on the counter

i told her to use some elbow grease

she said, "where's/what's that?" :D

my hubby used to eat my baby bel cheese :o

i would "remind" him please don't do that

later, i put a sign on it - saying DO NOT TOUCH :huh:

he finally got the message - no problem since then :rolleyes:

do the same thing with your pans or other things you want ONLY for you :rolleyes:

make a WARNING sign!!!

threaten her with death or worse!! :wacko: ;)

great weight loss

keep up the good work :)

good luck

Oops turning on the burner on high

And trying to cook... And failing... And leaving it for me... They were house sitting.

Thanks. Now I don't feel like it is just me and my kids.... Universal ...

(Ok I wanna believe that)

My 15 year old son cooks and has been for years. It's simple meals but he's and excellent cook.

My sympathies! Back when I worked retail, I used my employee discount to buy my parents a few really good anodized aluminum non-stick pans, since all of their pans were old and not in the best shape. Of course, even though I told them how to care for them, the first time my dad used one, he cleaned it with a steel wool scrubbie. I was not happy because I've always felt that if someone gives you something nice or expensive, you take care of it properly (at least when they're watching).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
