Ever wonder about the stuff on your pans that keeps food from sticking? It's called Teflon, and Dr. Kiki explains the science of the slippery stuff in this episode of Food Science
nice - youre saying exactly what is expected of you - with a little glance at the chemicals produced from overheating - sure there is not enough ptfe on a frying pan to cause serious harm, but there is in a spray can. Just consider what i said - there is not enough to cause serious harm on a frying pan - in fact the little there is does cause harm, it produces several dangerous substances, one so dangerous it is in section 2 of the chemical weapons convention - it can cause pulmonory odema - well why not read for yourself - the substance is called perfleuroisobutene - you can easily google it. After you have read that -
She is a face and piece of paper for promotion of teflon. WHat a waste of class hours to get a degree! I wonder is she worked for any of the Dupont companies?
What is? The substance used adhere PTFE to a pan? It's just a PTFE reducing agent. It's not a secret. I suppose it was just easier to say it was a secret as things get a bit complicated at this stage.
I found this after watching a TV show called "The 100" where my favorite character used PTFE from a wire to help make something radiation proof! Now I'm trying to learn about it to see if it really is radiation proof
Anyone can help: I put a teflon layered magnet in a solution containing H2O2 with 65% nitric acid. This solution was stirred for 48h in 60 degrees temperature. After finishing the reaction time, teflon layer of magnet was a little destroyed. I want to know what reaction has happened?
You will want FEP or PFA for the best chemical resistance. Ptfe is like a bunch of microscopic ball bearings; great for no stick, but eventually things can slowly swap through and destroy the primer layer.
No, it's explaining what Teflon is, how it is made, and what can make it potentially unsafe: basically, don't cook with teflon pans at high temperatures.
@@TheDrKiki Let me just correct you there. You touch upon what PTFE is, but you do not spend a second talking abou how PTFE is actually produced or the chemical reactions that occurs when it is made. Aside from the steps and chemicals which makes PTFE, it is also worth noting that you don't explain how PTFE is mechanically bonded to cookware. While some manufactures do use a chemical bonding process, quite a few products simply use a mechanical bond. As for the chemical bond, it would have been interesting if you had explained how it works. What chemicals each manufacture of cookware use might be a company secret, it is not a secret that they just use a reducing agent which breaks the Fluorine bonds upon contact, thus creating a compound which easily adheres to the alloy. Thank you
So teflon flu is what i got - i only burned like10 teflonpans just about during the years -I wont buy a another one , The old iron pans are ok I even got a like 70 year old one . (from grandmother house in finland who passed away 30 years ago)
I am watching this after I have watched the movie "Dark Water" which talks about dangers of Teflon. I think what this woman is telling is a total lie. She is employed by Dupon ahahahaha. Who else is watching this after seeing that movie?
@@TheDrKiki You sure you want to keep this video up? It's aged pretty poorly tbh. I like the content, but stating that Teflon is safe when Dupont have a history of regulating themselves isn't particularly sound info. 260 - 300°C is not a difficult temperature to reach on a gas stove. I've destroyed an old Teflon pan with high heat before learning about this (not sure if it was PTFE or PFOA) and now I'm terrified I've ingested something that simply doesn't biodegrade.
The only thing more slippery then Teflon is this video.

Well you what they say about life
life , no one gets out alive
Everything so shady nowadays

@@AB-80X teflon is deadly and can impact your life and you can die dupant wants money instead of c-8 being stopped and killing a lot of people

This is the voice of "Trust the Science" lmao
what a misleading video, stop spreading right out lies!
so HF to PFIB is safer................

Flu like symptoms in humans???
Yes.
I bet the glue they use is not safe.
Dark waters. Everyone's gonna die!
was doing physics homework and ended up here
Hello! Hope you enjoy the science :D
@@TheDrKiki Science is the absolute best. . Good ole blowtorch bacon, dang it's crispy 🥓
Sorry my english is so bad,
so the point is whether PTFE is safe for food?
No, it's explaining what Teflon is, how it is made, and what can make it potentially unsafe: basically, don't cook with teflon pans at high temperatures.
Actually no
And do not drink Teflon infused water.

I bet those Teflon pants fit you real nice!
thats wat she said e.e lennie face
what is a fluoride atom?
“Flouride atoms” ha ha.
So super
Its very nice
Encore d'la bouette, danger DANGER, j'veux d'la 80w140
thank you and i like your sweet voice which i can hear good.
Video presentation is so good
Thanks!
It's toxic C8 PFAS

Never get a non stick pan ever again my friend. Teflon gives you testicular and kidney cancer
Should I burn teflon ????
Noooooo!
Because it’s VERY TOXIC TO YOUR BODY

I have never received any funding from Dupont.

@@BattleScones car exhausts did something much worse to you. yet you havent moved to mountains yet.
Thank you so much! Great videos.
Love you so much...
very helpful video thanks
They are killing you..
