Answers:
i agree with was--sounds like a non-stick coating to me...and you don't really want that junk in your food...do you? that's why i'm a fan of cast iron...
Throw it away. The "non-stick" coating is coming off. Buy a stainless steel pot. It will last much longer and can stand up to much more abuse.
And just go ahead and toss your non-stick skillets/pans as well. Buy stainless or cast iron. It is worth the money since you can actually use it and it will last a LOT longer than non-stick cook ware.
I would toss it - teflon t'aint good for ya.
