Ceramic? Stainless steel? What should I get? I'm getting a lot of mixed answers and "AI" bullshit from trying to research it myself.

I've heard that nonstick is only dangerous if you cook at high heat, as in > 500°F / 260°C

Does your average nonstick pan user know when they're cooking at those temperatures?

You'd notice your food burning. That's way too high for a pan

Really? I would have thought that pan temperatures were much higher than oven temperatures.

So I guess the "Oven safe but do not put on stovetop" stuff is just because of the temperature differential?

If your stove doesn't require water cooling to stop the metal from warping, how do you achieve Wok Hei?

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Electric stovetops max out ~500 F iirc. Gas will be way hotter, and you can get a special gas burner for woks that can be even hotter than that, though
