The link didn't work. I have mixed feelings about any of the "non-stick" coatings being safe and went with straight uncoated stainless steel to be absolutely certain.

But then again, anyone could write anything these days and I don't know who to believe anymore.

 

I have two stainless steel pans, so I'm using them now and making everyone else too. I'll have to adjust to the new way of cooking

I looked at several of the "non-stick" types available and read a lot of info and reviews online. I just couldn't be sure that they were totally safe. On the plus side, I'm starting to like the stainless steel. It seems to heat more evenly. I also read a review that said to prevent sticking make sure your stainless steel is up to temp before adding food and that seems to help. As you said, it is an adjustment but I'm getting there!
