Teflon vaporizes at >500F (and perhaps below). Leaving the pan on high without food in it will approach that quickly.

- sva_ 4y agoI think this might be it. I usually cook at medium temperatures, wherever possible, as it seems healthier.
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoSimple tip for temp control: know the smoke point of your oil. Olive oil for example is in the range of 375-400F. So if you use it in a nonstick pan and see it smoking (not steaming) you know to pull back the temps a bit.
- mirker 4y agoMy nonstick explicitly says to cook on medium.
