I've been using non stick cookware for decades. I have to admit I do not immediately replace my non stick cookware as soon as it visibly starts to break down. And this is my experience at other people's homes. More often than not, I see non stick cookware that has visibly obviously broken down. (Usually you can see the silver tin/aluminum coming through.)
How about you?

Supposedly, one should immediately replace any non stick cookware that has visibly started breaking down. The non stick coating gets in your food. Can cause health problems.

I'm mostly a microwave or oven person - I rarely use the hob. If I do, I'm not bothered by a bit of wear on the pan.

If we go to the store we will get some pork chops and add them to it also.

It seems like it takes a hell of a long time for any significant amounts of the coating to come off, and how much of that comes off in washing/scraping? If you get micro-amounts ingested, I would think you'd do a good job in passing them.

They're in clothing, furniture, adhesives, food packaging, insulation and a lot of other things, and correlation/causation cannot be determined. Poorer people will always have a higher percentage of those diseases and conditions. |

From time to time. But I often make a sandwich, or use the microwave, for time and convenience.

Poorer people will always have a higher percentage of those diseases and conditions. I agree. Everything supposedly causes cancer. But supposedly, replacing non stick cookware when it visibly begins to break down, is something we all can do, in an effort to minimize the odds of getting cancer. Or buy stainless steel. Which on one hand is more expensive. But on the other, last forever. And doesn't break down. |

I cook on occasion, I like to make spaghetti or chili sometimes amongst other things, for the most part I just cook stuff in the over or microwave though.

I have Calphalon and have had it for about 30 or so years. My pasta pot, small skillet, sauce, and deep skillet we use the most. We hand wash them. Still look good as new. And I'm Sicilian so lots of sauces, cheese, and other goo that would otherwise stick and never get removed-come right off. Funny considering what I do for a living, no Calphalon bakeware.

I just bought a T-Fal pot, and a Faberware pot. Both are good. But I like the Faberware pot better. It has two pour spouts, and the top has a built in strainer. Both have glass tops. But the T-fal glass top gets water in the base when washed. Then you have to take it apart with a screwdriver to dry it. (The Faberware top handle doesn't get water in it.) And you only need a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the pot handle or top handle on the Faberware pot. When and if they loosen. You need a special attachment or screwdriver to tighten the handle on the T-fal pot. (A flathead will loosen or tighten the handle on the top.) |
