So, what are your options?

What if you have no choice? Maybe you're visiting friends or spending a week in a vacation home. Here are some tips for when you are stuck with the nonstick cookware as your only option:

  • Don't put nonstick cookware in an oven hotter than 400 degrees

  • Use an exhaust fan over the stove.

  • Keep pet birds out of the kitchen -- the fumes from an overheated pan can kill a bird in seconds. For real.
