If the teflon is worn off inside a pot?!


Question: If the teflon is worn off inside a pot?
it is scratched to clear metal - is it dangerous for health to use?

Answers:

Two Words:

Perfluorooctanoic Acid


That's the stuff that Teflon is made of. It's known to cause cancer and back in 2005 DuPont settled out of court because they failed to report that danger to the public.
When Teflon coating is scratched, small particles of Teflon can break up and seep into your food, or dissolve into gas at high temperatures
They have agreed to stop making cookware with Teflon by 2015.

Get yourself a cast iron skillet!

If the coating is completely gone it will be just like any pan that doesn't have a non-stick coating.If there is still teflon in the pan (and there probably is) then get rid of it.



Id say yes. For one thing its not healty because of the scrathes in the metal collect germs from meat chicken and every thing else. buy a new pot .



Yes, the pan is worthless. Throw it away. If you want non-stick superiority, get a Green Pan
