>> At the temperatures required to cook eggs, there's like zero danger using a modern teflon coated pan. It's the people cranking those pans up to smoking temperatures that you have to worry about.

- stjohnswarts 4y agogo look it up, if you keep teflon (PTFE, and not PFOAs which are all but gone in pans less than 10 years old) under 500 you're golden. No one is going to give you a bibliography for something you can google easily in seconds.
- doctorhandshake 4y agoDid you google ‘is scratched Teflon safe’? If you do, and you take the ‘first hit’ for the truth as parent suggested in a reply (it says it is not safe), does that lead you to believe that this issue is so simple as ‘don’t let your pan get hot’, or could there be other factors to consider, like, for example, exposing the pan to other chemicals, abrasion, etc?
- stjohnswarts 4y agoPTFE is basically completely safe for humans because it goes right through you as it doesn't break down anywhere along the digestive path and basically completely unreactive in the human body, it is used often in biological implants. PFOAs are the villains and yeah if you have cheap nonstick pans 10+ years old then toss them. Yes I know exactly what I'm talking about and what kind of pans I have because I did my own research on the topic t-fal, hexclad, etc are perfectly fine.
