I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I’ve used for a while. The coating on them says “Teflon Innovations without PFOA”. Recently I’ve noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off.

I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don’t want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated!

    Correct, hard anodized does not equal Teflon. But point me to a link selling just a hard anodized pan. If you search “hard anodized cookware” the top links are all hard anodized + teflon (“nonstick”). Tfal, Calphalon, Cuisinart…

        They all seem to be ceramic-coated. So. When will you admit that hard-anodized is porus, requires a coating, and the coating can still be teflon? “Hard Anodized” is a useless keyword.

          I’ll admit that you simply want to do everything possible to prove me wrong on a single point on a post that has nothing to do with that you’re arguing about. Seriously, I’m done trying to convince you of anything. Have a nice day…

            And I’ll guess I’ll stop arguing with soneone who can’t count, Bonehead.
