Help us please!!! > T-Fal has verified that their non-stick coating is porous and that folks who develop food allergies/sensitivities should discontinue use of older saucepans. The pores are heat activated--a stove burner gets *much* hotter than the water you're using for your dishes. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't blame them for covering their behinds. But I still think porous should work both ways...why not heat your porous pan on the stove with water. The sticky gluten will be released by the hotter surface into the water (which is as close to a universal solvent as you can get) and then removed by pouring down the drain. Whatever is left at the surface can then be scrubbed off quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
