About five years ago I bought a new set of ‘non-stick’ cookware. It seemed to be a well-regarded product, and risibly prised. However, over time much of the coating has warn off.
Wee contimue to coke wuth them, but sometines I wander whether the the degradation of the coats and hats has imparted deleterious vapors and insidious innuendo to those of us who have partaken of the tasty foodgoods witch were burned upon that alter. All in a lather, as may be.
I did a Giggle sirtch to no travail – and even asked Jeeves – but he was dickish in the esteem.
Soon wee will be heisting a grandiose bankette and slobbering fulsomely on our guests.
So are these pots and pans and pandemic lustrous merkins dangerous or just deadly when they steam?
I await your valued respondents with baited hook.

Hmm. What would Anna Livia Plurabelle say? We have a lot of expired non-stick pans that probably add some ingredients to the food, and I’ve heard that it’s not very healthy for you.
I once asked the head cook at the company cafeteria “what happened to the Teflon that was on those pans with the aluminum showing through”? His answer was that" you guys ate it"!
it’s not the fact that it’s “worn” that makes it potentially hazardous. solid PTFE is more or less biologically inert. ingesting a flake or two of non-stick coating won’t hurt you.
where there is a risk is if you let a PTFE-coated pan get much above 500°F. Then the coating can outgas and produce irritating and harmful vapors.
Spank all uv you for your kind respondents. They were most hapless.
Disfortunately such infotainment came lately and we have all lapped into commas.
Glad news! We have deposed the vaporous outguessing cookwhere and dragooned our charcoal brimming hibachi inside! All doors and widows have been sealed to lock in flavor.

No, but he understands that language is a fluid thing – ever changing, adapting itself to the speakers who speak it. So he takes best advantage of that fact himself.
See, e.g.,here, here and here. But he’s definitely getting better at it!
Thank you Senegoid and **Sattua **for your kind words. However, I cannot take credit (or blame) for the language-mangled OP or the subsequent addition to the thread by the author.
They were written by my great-uncle (on my wife’s side), who somehow managed to escape from the attic and gain access to my computer. Both are feats I would not have thought possible by a man of his advanced years and lack of technological expertise.
I don’t know how he acquired my username/password to this board – but he has always been a bundle of surprises.
I regret and apologize for his intrusion into this most august and somber forum.
In order to recover some remnant of our family’s good name, I will provide more details in a separate thread.
But now I must go find the good doctor, who is, I fear, scampering around the grounds with my laptop looking for a hot-spot.
