Subject: What about Teflon coating in electric PCs? Should we worry?
Date: August 1, 2003 at 1:54 pm PST

With the recent reports of unhealthy toxins released from Teflon coatings when heated to high temperatures, I'm a little worried about my Farberware electric pressure cooker. It is coated with Teflon, or a similar non-stick coating.

Sabrina, or anyone else, do you have any information about this? Do PC's get hot enough to release the toxins?

Thanks,
Michelle
