Stick with cast iron ( or even aluminium ) chef's skillets. Season them with oil or lard and build up that patina. No need for any teflon or manufacturing. Plus the heft and look is way cooler. If you want to cook on plastic, do it in

Okay, now it is clear that your feelings about this are that it is “unfair” and that you feel YC should be “ashamed” of this [ note that “this” refers to HN job listings only being for YC companies. ] When something is not working for you,
