Comment on Is it safe to use pans with peeling nonstick coating?

I stopped using non stick pots/pans completely. PFOS or whatever other fucked up, deadly, untested chemicals can get out of my life forever. We may think they're safe but do we really know? "They" told us the original teflon was safe and look at hope that turned out.

I now have an induction range and only use cast iron and stainless steel. Yes, I sometimes have to scrub or soak my pans but I believe me and mine will live longer and healthier.

Cast iron does make better tasting food, IMHO. Takes some getting used to and more work to clean but I think it's worth it.

Getting rid of Teflon around here too.

I like the process of maintaining cast-iron pans. And they get better theore I use them. Definately better than the constant deterioration of the Teflon ones.

Enamel coated steel is ok. Just steel is ok too.

But I really like the cast iron ones.

  I have bare and enameled cast iron and bare stainless steel. I have not heard of enamel coated steel. I need to research that.

    It’s not very durable, I don’t recommend it. Inherited it. Fine a a freebee, but I wouldn’t spend money. And if it starts to chip just toss it out.

    Pretty sure I do have enamel coated steel for my camp set of dishes. Interesting.

“They” is frequently used as an antisemitic dog whistle fyi

  There is literally nothing in the post indicating any religion. “They” in this case means industry leaders/the FDA

    This is correct, thanks.
    
    No idea how someone could think I was being antisemitic from that post yet here we are.

    Man, it’s the “ok signs are nazi dog whistles” shit all over. You aren’t, they’re being knee-jerk over reactive.

    I didn’t think you were being antisemitic, i assumed you were unaware of the way that antisemites use the word

  My guy, “they” is just a pronoun. Not everything can be a dog whistle.

    Its specifically when applying emphasis, usually with ((())), but not always. Using the word they on its own is not an issue, but in cases like this its usually better to say who you mean, instead of letting people assume.

    Or we can not give quite so much power to single word dog whistles, particularly in cases when there’s no actual anti-Semitic content within the post. It’s like the fuckin OK sign all over.
    
    I think it’s better to take in the whole context, and then you don’t have to assume anything.
