  • It seems that the dental supplies company in question has dropped the sale of ptfe dental floss, however they still refuse to reveal weather teflon is being used in their other products.

    I need to use dental floss - they have a monopoly - i need to know what the ingridients are.

    Some more campeigning i think

  • @craftsmank

    it appears that Teflon is used in fireworks.

    If that is the case then clouds of perfleuroisobutene which is instantly lethal to birds would be produced.

    Dosent take much to link that to the sudden bird deaths now occuring in europe and the usa.

    The gas would be produced by any combustion of teflon - a factory fire, even a bonfire would be enough.

  • I had no idea. A very informative, thanks.

  • So what if you just heat the frying pan to 100-150 C? Would it be ok to cook at that temperature?

  • @bergweg

    I would not like to use a teflon frying pan full stop.

    Just a few minutes innatention and you are in the 200/300 degree range.

  • @craftsmank I've got an electronic induction stove, it has temperature and a wattage setting capability. I usually set it at the low wattage setting and 100-120 degrees Celsius.

  • @bergweg

    Any cooking utensil degenerates over time - an iron frying pan leaves tiny iron particles in the food - people with low iron levels are recommended to use these pans - apparently nearly everybody has teflon in their system now -it would be sensible to try and limit intake as much as possible.

  • Hi Bertie, that's very interesting because I was told never to burn PTFE tape because it released arsenic... I didn't know it was on my pans and I was eating it. I have, for some time, been dredging meat in flour before I brown it because that's the step we lost when non-stick pans arrived and it's the step that gives 'the taste my mother's food had'. It's an easy change to use an old-fashioned pan. I'll favour this video to promote it among my YouTube chums.

    Best Wishes, Brendan.

  • @baconsoda

    Many thanks Brendan.

    Still got quite a number of spray cans of the stuff - dental floss - told my dentist, she was very surprised because dental floss is no good unless it catches food particles - if its too slippery it wont.
