There are two reasons why people have such safety concerns.

One reason is that in the past, a processing aid called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was used in the production of non stick pans. There are reports that this substance can cause cancer and is associated with birth defects, which has caused concern.

There are still some controversies about the impact of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) on human health, but no matter what the controversies may be, there is no need to worry because PFOA is no longer used in the production of non stick coating. By the end of 2011, all non stick cooking utensils had been de PFOA,Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) will no longer be used as long as Teflon coated cookware is available in 2012 and beyond.

The second reason is that most non stick pans are coated with Teflon - polytetrafluoroethylene, which has very stable physical and chemical properties at room temperature and normal conditions, but can release harmful substances under certain conditions. However, as long as the content of point 2 below is achieved,No need to worry about normal use。

Precautions for use of non stick pans

Throw away the sticky pot and the non sticky pot

If you find that the coating on the non stick pan has fallen off, don' t continue using it. After all, the coating that fell off falls into the food, and no one will recommend eating the coating

Be careful not to exceed 260 ℃, and do not dry burn with open fire

The main component, polytetrafluoroethylene, starts to deteriorate at temperatures above 260 ℃, and decomposes to produce harmful substances above 380 ℃. There is no need to worry about cooking at ordinary times, as the highest temperature of frying is only about 180 ℃~240 ℃, and the non stick pot is still very stable. However, dry burning with open fire can reach this temperature, leading to the decomposition of harmful substances in a non stick pot. Therefore, it is necessary to prohibit dry burning with open fire!

Protect the coating and avoid bumps, including:

Don' t use a shovel to fry vegetables! Do not use sharp metal tools, wood shovels or silicone shovels.

Don' t fry crabs, shrimps, clams! Try to avoid cooking hard food.

Do not scrub with force or use steel wire balls.

Don' t put the cutlery in when cleaning up the dishes.

In short, don' t do anything that can bump into the coating! Be gentle and careful as you treat your children.

Do not immediately wash with cold water after frying

If this causes thermal expansion and contraction, which can cause the coating to fall off, it should be cleaned after the temperature has dropped.

In the final analysis, there are two aspects: one is to prevent the decomposition of harmful substances and control the use temperature; 260℃； The second is to prevent the coating from falling: Do not bump it with hard objects.
