May I butt in here on teflon pans?

I would not use them on a campfire or other uneven heat, at last, what we knew 30 years ago, is in the news.

The gases released from teflon pans will make you sick, maybe even kill you.

People were having healthy parrots die, back in the 1970’s and it was from getting the teflon pans too hot, the gas killed the birds, it was in the bird books/magazines.

If one is short on water, then on a regular pan, not teflon, one can use a handful of tough grass and sharp sand to clean the pans.

Well, if we’re talkin survival mode, then small amounts of gas will probably be the least of your worries.

I just mentioned them for exactly the reason I mentioned them - they can be used with small amounts of oil or butter, they are easy to clean.

We can stock up on all sorts of stuff - but we can’t buy cans of common sense!
