| As far as I know ALL non-stick bake ware is dangerous, as the coatings
are similiar, but in different colors and names.
IF the stuff is dangerous to birds, you should also think about your
own health.
I won't have any of it in my house.

All you have to do is even slightly scratch the teflon coating
and the small particles that produces can cause problems, in humans!
Let's not get people into a false sense of security when there really
IS a problem with teflon/non-stick coatings. I will also not allow
any non-stick cookware into my house. The same goes for plastic or
styrofoam in the microwave oven as it outgasses as it is heated and
transfers 'not-so-good', (ie: nasty), things into the food. If you
care for you and your birds, and there is any doubt about the toxicity
of this stuff, then you should not use them...

| At my house Smokers have to smoke outside, which may be hazardous to
their health during winter and or inclement weather (Rain,
huricanes...). , but that a risk they take.

baking beans for hours in a coated pot or cooking spagetti sauce for
hours in a non_stick pot.....i cook with teflon and have 5 birds .....

| 877.7 | according to who ? | VIDEO::PULSIFER | UNHAMPERED BY FACTS AND INFORMATION | Mon Oct 03 1994 15:09 | 9 |
| A non-stick cookware manufacturer would say there was no Danger, but if you
talked to a cookware manufacturer that did not make non-stick, they would say
there is a definite danger.
Myself, if there is a non-chemical way to do something I prefer it. I prefer a
little cooking oil (virgin olive) in a cast iron pan, rather than taking risk to
save the small fat intake and use a chemical coated pan.
I have not had non-stick cookware in my house for years, even before I had birds.
