by the time we get past Teflon, Yes or No.
Then there is the butter, spread, Crisco conundrum...

...With any luck I mean :)
Nothing wrong with decent pans with a non-stick coating as long as only used over a low to moderate, at the most, heat. Of course, just IMHO.
I am into butter but I actually don't mind "Pro-active" which we always have on hand for the odd free-loader with a cholesterol problem.
"Crisco" - is a blended vegetable oil product here. I don't think we have any in the house. We nearly always use olive oil and I like to have 4 or 5 different types on hand but also keep small bottles of peanut oil, grape seed oil, rice bran oil & macadamia nut oil for some of the fancy sautéing Blondie does from time to time.
Thanks, now I'm hungry!

Lighting? Flooring? Italian Marble vs. French?
What about cats on the counter tops?
... We have converted to LED lighting in the kitchen. We both like the 6000K to 6500K colour range. Open a cupboard and a light comes on. Magic! :)
We have, and like, glazed tiles on the floor. Easy to maintain, if you drop something it breaks, so don't drop things :)
Both marble and granite can look spectacular but can be high maintenance and they are both VERY unkind to dinnerware. We have a bar with a combination of granite & corian ~ looks great. The kitchen has corian tops, splash backs & triple sinks. Corian is very kind on dinnerware.
Counter tops height? Standard is about 36" but ours are 42/43" which is far more comfortable for us.
Nope, I don't like cats, dogs, birds, lizards or frogs in the kitchen and NO cats allowed on the counter tops. (except when I'm around lol)

As a kitchen designer for many years I was asked to do 2 or even 3" risers over the 36" standard on occasion but 6" is a lot!
You met your wife at a Basketball game?
At the request of the Moderators,

... Sure is. Wouldn't have it any other height now.
My wife designed the kitchen with some input from a designer and yours truly. Doors & drawers are done in American oak too!(who says I don't like America?) It is becoming more popular now to have higher bench tops than it was 20+ years ago.
Whoever came up with the idea 36" was the most ergonomically efficient height for a kitchen counter was a midget! :)
I met my wife in the Steyne Hotel, Manly, on a Saturday evening. I still remember it well.
