One Casualty of the Palm Oil Industry: An Orangutan Mother, Shot 74 Times

I'm using Tefal/T-fal, the original creators of non-stick cookware, and the pans are practically new (got them a few months ago). I'd like to think they're good enough.

Can you really make a fried egg by putting just the egg on a pan, and avoid the bottom caramelizing? There's also the concern of the lifetime of the pan. Tefal recommends adding a layer of oil to the pan before use (I think it's called curing or seasoning a pan?).

From my personal experience you can't. I'm using butter. (for health reason I should use clarified butter I know...) Though I'm not sure that cows are better treated than orangutans

Yes, it works fine in a cheaper non-stick pan I have, as well as in some nicer, but not exorbitant, ceramic coated pans. No oil necessary.
