When I moved out to live on my own, I bought a budget Teflon-coated pots and pans set. After the constant cooking and dish washing abuse, the set has seen better days. In fact, the erosion of the Teflon-coated surface is pretty obvious. Now I’m trying to figure out where the Teflon went. Did it transfer to the food I was cooking with? Did it dissipate into the air? Whatever the case, I’m sure a good amount of the chemical made its way into my body through the years.

I had read somewhere that Teflon emits a hazardous chemical when extreme heat is applied to it. I’m going to stay away from non-stick cookware from now on. It’s time for a new pots and pans set, and with the extra rebate check on the way, it should cover all the expenses. This time, I’ll invest the money into a stainless steel set. The All-Clad stainless steel cookware is sounding pretty good right now.
