Point taken, Alex. My phrasing of "turning up the heat" was for emphasis 
purposes only. Rule of thumb, if the smoke starts to rise from your pan, 
don't walk away from it. Lower the heat, and use your brain. However, the 
gases that eminates from a non-stick pan or self-cleaning oven are not 
always visible and the visual cues one gets from a seasoned pan that starts 
to heat are just not there to warn someone that something may be amiss. I'm 
not an alarmist; however, I don't go blindly into the night either.
