No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I've used for a while. The coating on them says "Teflon Innovations without PFOA". Recently I've noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off.

I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don't want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated!

That's for general anodizing, not hard anodizing for cookware. They aren't going to use the same process for a chair that will never see water versus a pan designed to be immersed in water. Anodized cookware is fine to use with acids.

Nope. It’s exactly the same process - it’s just Type III not type II.

The sealer is what makes it non porous. That sealer is usually teflon that wears off.

It's the exact same process, except that it isn't. Hard anodized aluminum is not teflon.

[–] stevehobbes@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hard anodized aluminum is sealed with something, often teflon.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

If there's teflon, then it's advertised as non-stick. Just because it's sealed doesn't mean it's always teflon.

[–] ironeagl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can you give me an example? Calphalon for instance have "hard-anodized nonstick" but they're still teflon. Anodizing is actually how teflon is usually made - the anodizing makes a porous surface that the teflon can stick to. So you'right that the sealer is different, it's just teflon.

Correct, hard anodized does not equal Teflon. But point me to a link selling just a hard anodized pan. If you search "hard anodized cookware" the top links are all hard anodized + teflon ("nonstick"). Tfal, Calphalon, Cuisinart...

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Search for "hard anodized PTFE free"...

[–] ironeagl@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They all seem to be ceramic-coated. So. When will you admit that hard-anodized is porus, requires a coating, and the coating can still be teflon? "Hard Anodized" is a useless keyword.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll admit that you simply want to do everything possible to prove me wrong on a single point on a post that has nothing to do with that you're arguing about. Seriously, I'm done trying to convince you of anything. Have a nice day...

[–] ironeagl@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

And I'll guess I'll stop arguing with soneone who can't count, Bonehead.
