Cookwear Problem

[KAN450]

I use a ceramic coated, carbon steel cookie sheet. It was sitting on my stove and I turned on the wrong burner like an idiot. It charred a circle on the pan and it was smoking a bit. I removed my bird from the area and turned on all fans and opened windows.

Is something like this dangerous like Teflon? I’m freaking out and I don’t know what to do.

I don’t think it’s as dangerous as Teflon, but any damage to the ceramic coating basically negates the nonstick integrity of the pan and you will need to replace it. I only know this because I got into a giant spat with my partner about a tiny chip in our big greenpan ^_^;

If your bird were to suffer ill effects it would be pretty quickly and very obvious. Knowing the brand or type of pan could help us figure out what it’s made of and if you need to take any additional measures.

Thank you for your reply! Yeah, I’m definitely planning on throwing out the pan, lol.

She’s a ~2 year old GCC. The pan involved was this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071W6WW9T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I’ve been hanging out with her in the closed-off room and as far as I can tell she’s acting normal, thank god.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, as far as I can tell that’s a really safe one although you were right to remove your bird from the area as smoke is always bad. Open windows and run the vent in the kitchen and crack a window in the closed room too if it’s not too chilly. I’d let it air out a few hours or even overnight if you can and then it should be totally fine.

Sorry this happened to you! I’ve done this before myself, it’s scary and frustrating!
