Depends on the company that makes the "nonstick" pan, because some of them everything still gets stuck, or the coating actually peels off during cooking, I've had that happen, completely ruined an entire meal.

[@techmouse.]

It completely ruins your health too. You're ingesting teflon long before it starts to peel. That's why you're supposed to replace them at least once a year. Or just get stainless steel.

I agree 100% Teflon pans suck balls! I gave up on them pretty quickly. I use REAL cast iron, the older, the better. It takes some knowledge and a little work to keep them in tip top shape but its well worth the effort 👌 😉 ☺

To anyone watching this - please please don't fall for some kitchen myths like "you must season non stick pans before use" or "use baking powder and vinegar to deep clean the residual chemicals". It does absolutely nothing to help your life. Just wipe with kitchen towels and oil a few times and you're good.

Yeah, to live the healthiest life possible, stay far away from anything non-stick. Look up documentaries about Teflon and pfoa/pfos, that crap is so toxic and it gets into your food. Use cast iron, season it with cooking oil and you're good. Just because it's difficult to live without harmful synthetic chemicals doesn't mean you shouldn't try your hardest not to. The mentality of "oh well, can't do anything about it, if you can't beat em join em" is just lazy.

Luminol is used to make bodily fluids glow for examination. You are thinking of radium.

[@nobodyspecial4702]

Ah, asbestos. The misunderstood wonder invention. Hazardous if inhaled as a fine particulate, such as one would get if it was used to make lightweight, sound insulating ceiling tiles. Perfectly harmless and fireproof when used as a solid tile product. If only politicians listened better we wouldn't have high rise apartment fires claiming dozens of lives because any use of asbestos is banned and all existing asbestos must be removed at great expense, even if it's harmless.

[@acidset]

@@nobodyspecial4702 you understand asbestos gets released into the surrounding air and soil/waterways when used for tiles and plumbing right? it's not just a huge misunderstanding or perfectly harmless as you claim

Why are birds not supposed to live in a home with Teflon cooking pans on a hot stove? Does that mean there is toxicity that humans can't detect? Like a canary in a coal mine?

[@albertocordova2094]

The chemicals released from Nonstick pans after cooking can kill birds and cause health problems for humans.

[@joermnyc]

Quick searched it: “While PTFE is stable and nontoxic at lower temperatures, it begins to deteriorate after the temperature of cookware reaches about 260 °C (500 °F), and decomposes above 350 °C (662 °F). Over 400 °C (752 °F) pyrolysis occurs and more decomposition becomes significantly more rapid. The main decomposition products are tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and difluorocarbene radicals (RCF2). The degradation by-products can be lethal to birds, and can cause flu-like symptoms in humans: polymer fume fever. Meat is usually fried between 204 and 232 °C (399 and 450 °F), and most oils start to smoke before a temperature of 260 °C (500 °F) is reached, but there are at least two cooking oils (refined safflower oil at 265 °C (509 °F) and avocado oil at 271 °C (520 °F)) that have a higher smoke point. However these cases of polymer fume fever were mostly present in people who had cooked at 390 °C (734 °F) for at least 4 hours.

[@joostk]

@@joermnyc good one. Users should use these Teflon coated pans as intended. Just focus on cooking and don't let it cook dry.

[@Lerrae1908]

@@joermnyc Thank you for quoting this - and to add on, these same toxic compounds in the air can also make other small animals sick. Rodents, amphibians, and some reptiles are sensitive enough that they can also succumb. Basically, if you have exotic or delicate pets, don't use non-stick cookware to be the most safe, or follow usage guidelines strictly to reduce the chance of dangerous exposure. Always keep pets far from your cooking areas!

02:16 How does the machine make the shape ?

[@clarencegreen3071]

The round aluminum blank (disk) is placed over a form that is shaped like an upside-down bowl. The part that comes down has a hollowed-out center (that you cannot see in the video) that matches the desired outside surface of the pan. The big machine is a press that forces the aluminum disk down around the lower part, the upside-down bowl shape, to form the body of the pan.

[@aplutypus7599]

Are you somehow watching me? 🤔😳 🤣 Here's to hoping I stay in good enough shape for my cast iron 😉😁 What you said about proper use and properly taking care of my cast iron is absolutely true. I pay homage to the cooking Gods that way 🙂 Weightlifting, as you say, is awesome 👌 Also, drastically changed the way I eat. I feel great again. I restarted back at the beginning of April. Dropped 29 lbs, back to 209 and from a nearly 40" waist to 36" again 🙂 I was out shopping for, and got thiiiiiis close 🤏 to buying my first pair of 40" shorts when I got mad at me and decided, NO! Eff that! I'm getting back in shape. I felt like i was slowly melting into the grave for too long also. Really feel SO much better now, its really amazing 👏 😍. Maybe you should try it...🤷 I have an old ACL & meniscus injury (left knee) I had to slowly work through but even that knee works and feels TONS better. Much stronger core and the back pain is GONE again. I highly recommend Weightlifting 👌! "I cant" never did anything 😉 Thowing barbells & dumbells around, as well as tearing up various machines works wonders 😃
