Non stick pan peeling?!
I was making pasta tonight and didn't notice that my pan was slightly peeling!. When I strained my noodles I noticed a few black specs, I really didn't think anything of it and I didn't want to waste it!. So I ate it!. Now I read that you can get sick from it!? Is this true!?
It was just some small pieces, no bigger than pepper!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You'll be fine!.!.!.!.but remember that non-stick pots and pans are not meant for high heat!.!.!.and high heat is usually the culprit for the failure of the coating!. And when cooking pasta, it's always best to rinse the pot/pan out immediately!.!.!.cuz it can be a real pain to get off if it dries!!!! Over scrubbing or scraping will damage it too!.!.!.!.and remember to always use a soft spatula!.!.!.!.not a metal one!.!.!.and always use a wooden spoon to avoid scratching the non-stick coating!.

Actually, teflon flakes off over time and deposits in your brain, causing all kinds of dementia-relatd problems later on in life!. they have also found teflon particles in cancer tumors that were examined by scientists and universities!.
