Can non stick coating cause food toxicity?

With the evolution of cooking methods, more and more families prepare different pots for frying, and the non stick pot is often the standard. But after a period of time, you will find scratch or coating peeling on the bottom of the non stick pot. Other kitchen utensils such as electric rice cooker and non stick spatula also have similar problems. Can such a device still work? What kind of health hazards will the falling coating bring to the human body?

To judge whether the coating of non stick pan is poisonous, we need to know what the material is and what the ingredients are. First of all, non stick coating is usually fluorine-containing polymer, the most commonly used is polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). These polymers are resistant to acid, alkali, oil and high temperature. If they enter the human body, they will not be digested, absorbed and enriched at all, but will be directly absorbed

It is excreted through feces. Secondly, the coating of non stick pan is very thin, and the amount of peeling off in use is very small, and a considerable part of the peeling off occurs in the cleaning process, so the direct health risk can be ignored.
