There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement.

High heat will burn more often causing food to stick and non-stick sprays leave residue behind that will burn on as well.

Your cooking technique is 99%+ of what keeps your pans from becoming a blackened speckled mess that is near impossible to clean to a sparkle or bright sheen like they were when new. I can cook in pans my mother can't in her kitchen and her stove because I don't rush and overheat things like she does. Patience in the kitchen and a little extra time in meal prep are good steps in the right direction for cooking great meals without some of the side effects of a rushed high heat meal preparation routine.
