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!

    Ignore all the comments in this thread, mate. Everything is different in the EU, and you’re getting advice from Americans, who have zero consumer rights against being poisoned 😂

          I had no idea China was member of the EU these days.

          Edit: since sarcasm is a little too subtle for you, considering your last comment, I’ll spell it out for you, mate. Obviously, EU has cast iron, stainless, and carbon steel, everywhere does it’s not new. I’m making fun of you for suggesting that because the advice is from Americans it’s inherently bad advice, when this thread is advising tried and true cookwares as the better choice to nonstick disposables. Go find a comment thread that’s advocating for another fisher price landfill destined pan if you want that hot take to have any value and not make you look like a lost xenophobic asshole. And while you’re fucking off, go sit on your European exceptionalism; cast iron was invented in China at least a thousand years before eu guys figured it out.
