Don't ever let a Teflon frying pan overheat. Releases fumes that can
make you sick. Google the phrase "teflon flu". This is for real.

Also, read the warning labels on cans of spray lubricant that contain
Teflon. They tell you to wash your hands before smoking. Same reason.


Good advice. Do not use high heat on the pan. There was a NG thread
discussion that vapors from over heated teflon coated pans killed
their caged pet birds.
