Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan đ
9point6@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠agoSorry yes, youâre correct, itâs a PTFE. Which is touted as a safe alternative until you find out burning it (about 250 degrees) produces PFAS.
Now if someone perfectly uses the pan and never leaves it on high heat without anything in it, theyâre probably gonna be fine. But Iâve lived in the same house as an idiot who has done exactly that, so Iâm inclined to think that itâs not an entirely uncommon thing.
Then youâve also got the post-use phase of the panâs life where it could easily end up in a waste incinerator, and we already know we have a problem with PFAS hanging around in the environment.
