My wife had been talking about chucking our non stick pans for months now. She read about toxins they release when overheated and this prompted her to switch them out for ceramic ones.

Lately, I’ve found myself grasping for a word or two. I wish I could at least say it’s on the tip of my tongue, but it’s nowhere near the vicinity.
