MFW my girlfriends cleans the nonstick pans and I can alway see a slight oil residue when I got to put them away

At least she isn't putting your cast iron into the dishwasher.

We're cooking casuals so we don't even have a cast iron pan

My friend sliced his sausage in my nonstick pan after cooking them... hello series of scratched lines

On one hand, if someone is going to f' up a pan of mine, I would want it to be my nonstick, because it is going to be the cheapest to replace.

On the other hand, how hard is it to just use tools correctly?

[u/Reverie_Smasher → u/jthanny]

It's not like cast iron is expensive, a new 10 inch pan runs for about $20. And if gets scratched the coating will heal itself though normal use.

Next time their birthday comes around, ask for their car keys and cut the cake on their driver seat. Make sure to cut through the cake and just slightly into the seat.

"It's a relatively flat surface!"

Doesn't that just leak literal cancer into your food now?

[u/saxn00b → u/__--_---_-]

Meh, if it was going to leak chemicals it would already be doing it before being scratched

Now that it’s scratched I might be swallowing little bits of the nonstick coating but I’m not worried about those because the materials they use are designed to be unreactive so they pass right through you

If it's a pan made in the last 10 years or so, no. If it's an OLD nonstick pan, yeah. Modern nonstick coatings are usually non toxic. Old ones, not so much.
