Is it hazardous to health to use a pan with disintegrating teflon?

Question

ya know... when your pan starts getting patches of teflon/nonstick coating falling off.

Answer 1

No really.  Teflon is pretty inert of a material at room and body temperature.  If you digest it, typically it would just pass through you.

Answer 2

Ive heard you are supposed to throw your pan away when it starts to get bad like that cause i think it can cause cancer.

Answer 3

Blah, it wont harm you in small amounts. Your stomach wont digest it so it will pass right throuh you.

Next time you buy, spend a few bucks on a better one. You always pat yourself on the back for buying quality.

Answer 4

It is time for a new one.
