The EPA is crooked, dirty and filled with communists.
"The EPA also wants the industry to work toward the elimination of PFOA and related chemicals from emissions and products by no later than 2015"
if it's not in the final product, why would anybody (including dupont) object to eliminating it from products by 2015?
Kind of like the rest of DC.
"Teflon is safe if heated in combination with Crisco, Cornmeal and Catfish fillets."
I'm afraid I'll have to verify that for myself. 7 O'clock okay? I'll bring the hushpuppies and cold beer. ;)
If you put your coffemaker on the stove burner, and set fire to it, it will kill everyone in the house.
The Rapanos case will be in front of the USSC this spring. The EPA engaged in extortion, perjury, trespassing and civil rights violations.
What will come out in this case will offer an opportunity for Congress to clean out that filthy hellhole of goosestepping communists. But the castrated poodles in congress are afraid that cleaning out that den of Marxist pigs would upset the brainless soccer moms who send $25 to the fascists at the Sierra Club.
Sounds like you hate commies as much as I do. Go Sarge!
Thank you for the reply.
Down With Teflon!
Vive La Stainless Steel!
Vive La Pan Sauce!
I remember that too...I have one teflon pan which is quite oversized and easy to clean, but I could just as easily go back to using a seasoned iron pan.
More than likely, it was made up of benefactors of the Trial Lawyers who are just finishing off the asbestos industry, and cannot wait for peer-reviewed studies which might slow things down on the looting and plunder schedule.
ANY polymer (Nylon, Acetal, and especially PVC) will pyrolize to yeild toxic compounds. At a higher temperature, PTFE* can as well.
This one is just too easy to penetrate.
* telomer.
Most material people use can turn toxic then heated (beyond recommend standard)/burned, from wood, to ceramics to plastics.
And it is the enviro-nazis leading the charge on this (as reported by Fox News a few weeks ago), not the trial lawyers.

That is absolutely true. I worked for many years in a PTFE manufacturing plant. Burning PTFE emits very toxic gases. It releases Phosgene, PFIB, and other assorted nasties. Unlikely to kill an person, but it could pose a heath hazard.
Google "Fluon Fever"
Learning how to cook properly and not burning the tflon plan would probably solve the problem........
I work in this industry. PFOA's are used in the manufacturing process, and there is almost none left over in the product seen by consummers. The main concern presently is that PFOA is a bioaccumulater. I.e. your body cannot get rid of it easily. To date most of the concern in industry is based on legal liabilities rather than medical or health liabilities to the consumer.
PFOA are a legitimate health concern of workers, but not for consumers. Also to make this even more complicated there are no good alternative product to replace PFOA's at this time. There are some, but without some breakthrough in the future many important elastomer products will vanish with a ban on C-8.
I agree, I've yet to pick up the paper and read about the family that died because the frying pan was coated with PTFE.
Same here.
Personally I have very little faith in the EPA.
If I die, I die, just as long as my eggs don't stick.
