Good point .. I knew it was a load of nonsense!! Will try fishing out that American article ..

I actually used a set of these over the weekend while cooking for guests. I sort of regret it now...
To my dismay, on two occasions the salmon had completely stuck to the pan requiring aggressive scraping using a metallic Brillo pad.
Nonetheless I'm voting this hot, purely for the price. The non-stick aspect leaves a lot to be desired IMHO...

Quality of the non-stick varies massively depending on the Tefal range in my experience.

I have bought this same frying pan when it was sold at £10.00 several months ago. The non-stick properties are still as good as the first use. One should never wash a non-stick pan with detergent, just wash with warm water using a dish cloth. It is okay to wash the edges and the bottom of the pan with scouring pads and whatever turns you on to remove any burnt debris. Dry the non-stick surface with paper towels as the slightly greasy surface may stain your posh tea towels. Do not place any pots and pans onto the non-stick surface in storage. Your non-stick pan should last you several years. One last bit, only use soft silicon utensils on the non-stick surface.

sometimes putting it to boil with a little water covering the burnt area will help loosen the burnt remains

Tefal say their coatings do not contain PFOA.
Dupont stopped using PFOA in the manufacture of Teflon in 2013.
If you can find an article about flash-frying releasing PFOA I'd be interested to read it. In the meantime I'd be more concerned about the carcinogens produced by frying food at high temperatures than the Teflon.

It includes the sub-heading "No such thing as an "acceptable" toxic level" which is nonsense.
The LD50 (the level which is lethal for an average person) for water is about 6000ml.
Everything is a poison in the right dose - including vitamins (some of which cause cancer).
The dose makes the poison.

Take a read of this, although I'm not too sure about the credibility ..
It's a while since I did a-level chemistry, but would there not be a chemical in certain food than when comes into contact with Teflon under intense heat (eg flash frying), would lead to liberation of PFOA? I may be taking rubbish bit was reading about something along these lines when I was in the states a few months ago...

I don't doubt you've heard it before; it's a popular urban myth/misunderstanding.
PFOA is a chemical used in the manufacture of Teflon - PFOA may cause cancer, Teflon does not (because it doesn't contain PFOA).
Overheating an empty Teflon pan can create fumes which can cause flu-like symptoms (& can kill pet birds; if you're worried, keep a canary in your kitchen). They don't cause cancer though.
You're more likely to get cancer from anti-stain fabrics or ski-wax than you are from Teflon.
Actually, you're more likely to get cancer from toast, bacon or fried food than you are from Teflon.

There are already millions in UK with cancer or already died. You will be joining them soon. All the the NHS budget goes on treating lifestyle choices, choices which people like you willingly make.

I went to grab a 28cm pan from Morrisons, then went to Sainsbury's and noticed they had the Tefal "Supreme" pans at half price, so the same price as these, and they definitely seem like a step up from these "Easy" ones. Take a look at the pic. Nice rubberised soft touch handle, feels heavier and the coating looks better too. Check it out:

Some tefal pans work, some don't you have to check the packaging or walk around with a magnet.

Yeah for an hour or so.. It didn't do much tbh.. Maybe I let it burn too much but even then I didn't expect it to stick to the pan like superglue.. Such a waste..

PTFE /teflon causes cancer. Therefore educated people don't buy tefal anymore and on sale all the time.

Educated people know the difference between Teflon (PTFE) and PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid).
There's no evidence to link Teflon pans to cancer.
But heating them to temperatures above about 350 Celcius might kill your budgie.

Any suggestions where to get glass lid for them.
2 weeks ago picked one up in Sainsbury's for £10 (32cm). Bought lid on Amazon with good reviews, arrived and size don't match. Too big for pan. Can't go one size down (-2cm) as that will be too small.

you have to be careful not to scratch the teflon coating and dont use pans that have scratches
Just bought the 32cm frying pan was last 1 on the shelf been after 1 for ages great price heat added bargain
