The Slick Truth About Teflon
Teflon might sound like a trendy robot from the future, but it’s actually just a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This synthetic material is known for its slippery nature and is widely used in non-stick pans. Sounds convenient, right? But hold on...
Why Teflon Is Sometimes a Hot Topic
If you heat a Teflon pan above 260°C (yes, that happens quicker than you think), the coating can start to break down. The result? Harmful fumes you really don’t want lingering in your kitchen. Think “polymer fume fever” – a kind of flu you won’t find on any shopping list.
From Non-Stick to Not-So-Healthy
Teflon used to contain PFOA: a chemical you definitely don’t want showing up in your omelet. Although it’s often PFOA-free now, it’s still a synthetic material with its quirks – especially if not used perfectly.
