Help Square Grill/Griddle Pan

[freddie*rooster]

I want to buy one, i'm confused about the safety aspect regarding the claims of  PFOA- or PTFE-free ceramic interior.

I would appreciate recommendations, they vary so much in price, do you have one and are you happy with your's?

Lucky you freddie I can't lose an ounce.

Been minding my grandaughter all week while my daughter was in hospital so no walking.

The minding went well too she swallowed a coin and I had to search her nappy every day I think the coin is waiting for interest before it appears. lol

Thanks pct I will google Anolon and check it out.

[freddie*rooster]

hahaha at searching the nappy Margo, that kept you out of mischief for a bit.

I had Anolon pots and a frypan and I was really happy with them, but I found the surface started to scratch up after a few years and I was worried about the aluminium. I have changed to stainless steel.

I'm a little confused about the safety of the non stick teflon Punch, the more I read about the different brands the more confused I become LOL.

I read up about teflon and it seems to only be dangerous at very high heats, higher than normal cooking with food in a pan. Leaving a pan on the flame with no contents is not great though, it would get pretty hot then.

The aluminium was more of a concern for me with the Anolon. The bases had lost all their coating in the dishwasher and the scratches had exposed the aluminium on the inside as well.

Problem nowadays is you just dont know whats safe and whats not, some of the stuff you read about the dangers is true and some is just scaremongering.....working out which is which is the trouble.
