Television is flooded with ads for high tech nonstick cookware coatings they claim are virtually indestructible. They come with limited lifetime warranties that usually include many exclusions.
No nonstick coating has been proven to equal or outlast uncoated cookware like stainless steel. Scenes of burnt-on foods that are impossible to remove are exaggerated to sell their revolutionary new cookware. Charred foods is usually due to negligence, not the cookware.

While there are many benefits of solar energy, ads and marketing representatives claiming you can save thousands of dollars a year on your electric bill are more hype than fact especially if your home is dual fuel (gas, electric).
