Hello John,

Matt here from Rice Cooker Guide.

I am in the process of getting some feedback about the safety concerns on Teflon since most rice cookers use this substance for the non stick bowls. In doing so, I have stumbled across your post.

I have found the read to be helpful, and will link to this page from my site as a result. Thanks for the information and for putting it in to an honest perspective!

Regards,

-Matt

Hi Xochilt – I’m really glad that you found the information useful.

I hate scare mongering when there is really no reason. The simple fact is that in domestic usage Teflon pans are perfectly safe.

They might conceivably be bad for any pet birds if you overheat them, but then why on earth would you have birds in your kitchen?

I am so glad to have read this article. I went to a seminar last night and there they explained the DANGERS of having teflon pans. I am now glad to see that it is well safe and I will continue to use my non-stick pans. Thanks!

John – Glad to see the very accurate information you have posted on your blog about Teflon. I’m actually a representative of DuPont, and am always glad to see comments like this out there about Teflon, considering how much inaccurate information there is. Teflon should not be overheated and there should always be food in the pan when heating it. It is also a good idea to keep birds out of the kitchen, as they have very sensitive respiratory systems. Thanks for sharing this information.

I’d be glad to share some recipe booklets or other information for you’re blog if you are interested. Let me know. Cheers, Ross.
