Answers:
It depends what was on the pan, or maybe you're feeling sick from the sauce!.
However, you should always wash kitchen utensils/equipment before you use them, as they have been in transit from manufacturer to store to consumer, and get handled along the way and are therefore not necessarily safe to eat off of yet!. For instance particles from the manufacturing process as well as graders and packagers handling them, and in the store, if they're not wrapped, you have hundreds of other costumers handling items, and well eating off of something that was handled by a hundred people with various degrees of hygiene habits is not safe or appealing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Take some Tums and wash the pan!.
You just ingested the dirt, oil, and god knows what else from the pan!. It won't kill you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You've probably eaten some industrial grade oils which are found in factories when they use the metal presses to form items like pots and pans!.

I don't think you'll get sick ! There couldn't have been anything life threatening in that pan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you'll be sick!. What's the worst that could be on there, dust!? You'll be ok!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
