5 Foods Secretly Ruining Your Nonstick Pans

Nonstick cookware excels in certain situations but teflon and nonstick pans have a low-heat design and slick surface, which makes them not the best choice for all foods. When you attempt to develop a proper crust on meat, you'll end up with pale, gray protein instead of the caramelized golden-brown color you're after and worst of all, you may be damaging your pans in the process. The real problem lies in compatibility. Certain ingredients and cooking methods can rapidly degrade nonstick coating

Lionsgate’s Attempt to Create Movies Using AI Has Crumbled Into Disaster

futurism.com Frank Landymore 2025-09-27 23:45:00

Though moviegoers certainly have an appetite for franchise slop these days, it’s a stretch to say that they’d be willing to bite down on wholly AI-generated movies just yet. Even more of a stretch: that the technology is anywhere near good enough to produce entire feature films. This is the reckoning that the mammoth Hollywood studio Lionsgate is undergoing right now, as one of the first big studios to go in on the tech.
