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!
once you go cast iron you never go back
Cooking on plastic doesn’t feel right. Even if it’s perfectly safe, I’m happy to stick with any of the above and not cause excess waste by having to throw out pans when they scratch.

It says that’s steel, not cast iron. Cast iron and carbon steel (which that tray does not claim to be) benefit from seasoning with oil. As far as I know, regular steel does not.
That said, still weird that it rusted. Should be stainless steel which shouldn’t rust.
I’d bet it’s carbon steel my pizza steel is and needs some fresh seasoning every year or so. Brillo pads and peanut oil has always worked well for me.
Ignore all the comments in this thread, mate. Everything is different in the EU, and you’re getting advice from Americans, who have zero consumer rights against being poisoned 😂
Do Europeans not have cast iron?
