The New Pan

Today, I got a new Teflon pan. Not too big, not too small. Just right for an omelet. Whenever I get a new Teflon pan, I have such high hopes. After 30 years of buying them, I am still convinced that the new one, will be the one that doesn't get ruined. I truly believe the commercials that show the eggs sliding around the pan without any cooking spray being applied first. History has shown me, that if I get a good years wear from the pan, I will be ahead of the game. I know that I am naive, thinking that this pan will be "the one". I know I will be disappointed down the road, but it just goes to show, that I still hold out hope. I will still treat it with care, not use metal utensils and wash it with warm water. Even though I know it will disappoint me, in the long run, it still deserves respect.
