(6,793 posts)Teflon in a pan to cook with goes through multiple heat-up/cool-down cycles in its life. The teflon doesn't stay as 'new'. The conctant heat/cold cycling can damge even teflon coated pots that haven't been scratched by metal cooking utensils. If you damage the teflon by using the metal utensils, the integrity of the teflon is compromised much more quicky.
The data the chemical company releases on this product is true to a point....it is the results of the 'succesful' studies the company paid to have done.
This company is so unscrupulous, they dumped a know birth defect causing chemical into a river that supplied every small town all the way to the coast. From that plant to the coast.....is the highest concentration of a certain severe birth defect in the US. 99% of the cases happened after the 'spill'. This plant dumped this poison for 11 months and when the EPA shut them down....the plant fixed the leak and went back to work. EPA had to sue to get fine paid.
This company takes care of "ONE" child in the area with this defect.....child of an employee I worked with who was unfortunate enough to live downstream of operations and be pregnant at the same time.
I worked there, retired from there, but there is very little of their different products I will trust.
