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!

    “They” is frequently used as an antisemitic dog whistle fyi

      There is literally nothing in the post indicating any religion. I interpreted “they” in this case as industry leaders/the FDA

        This is correct, thanks.

        No idea how someone could think I was being antisemitic from that post yet here we are.

          Man, it’s the “ok signs are nazi dog whistles” shit all over. You aren’t, they’re being knee-jerk over reactive.

          I didn’t think you were being antisemitic, i assumed you were unaware of the way that antisemites use the word

        Its specifically when applying emphasis, usually with ((())), but not always. Using the word they on its own is not an issue, but in cases like this its usually better to say who you mean, instead of letting people assume.

          Or we can not give quite so much power to single word dog whistles, particularly in cases when there’s no actual anti-Semitic content within the post. It’s like the fuckin OK sign all over.

          I think it’s better to take in the whole context, and then you don’t have to assume anything.
