- fluidcruft 11y agoI don't, but I'm not sure that's relevant to the hypothesis that cast iron pans are less toxic than teflon pans.
- hussong 11y agoIt's been a while, I'll follow up anyway... I don't use cast iron pans because I believe they're less toxic, but because they make a damn fine crusty steak or fried potatoes. And I use teflon pans to stir-fry or steam veggies and chicken, or to make fried eggs, just because they're more convenient. To be honest, I don't really care all that much about potential toxiticity in cooking equipment. That wasn't really my hypothesis to begin with, I was just sharing my love for cast iron pans :-)
