People do badly burn their food and ruin their pans.
- ars 4y agoYes, that's true, but if it were oil they would also kill their birds. Teflon is safer for birds than oil.
- kragen 4y agoNot necessarily; if it were oil they would notice the smoke, while the fumes generated by teflon are quite subtle until a much higher temperature. So there have been many cases where people killed their birds before noticing that anything was wrong. While I'm totally comfortable with eating teflon, I'm absentminded enough that I've overheated cookware many times, so I wouldn't use it if I had birds.
