I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I’ve used for a while. The coating on them says “Teflon Innovations without PFOA”. Recently I’ve noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off.

I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don’t want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated!

    Teflon, sure. But thechemicals and glue used to stick this famously non stic material to a pan, absolutely fucking not.

      That isn’t how Teflon is applied to cookware.

      So, I think this is is where we ask for some reliable research showing that the way that Teflon is applied to the pan is toxic in cooking use
