Or as good as anyway. I was writing out the shopping list for the week and mum said to get a stainless steel fry pan so we could throw the non-stick ones out! I bought up the teflon issue ages ago and she said no way was she throwing out our fry pans for the birds. Then i think i was talking about it again at the weekend, and mentioned how an over heated teflon pan can release fumes that kill birds almost instantly, with no treatment. I assumed that she still didn't really take it seriously, but i've been proved wrong and i'm so happy. :excited:

thats great nice work bea

 

[Aly]

Oh I'm so glad! I guess you telling them several times made them realize it's serious enough. That's really good. I told my mom too (in case she ever has to birdie sit) and she was shocked. She asked alot of questions and was very happy to know.

Cool cool maybe shes warming up to the birds more... Now is a good time to hit her up for another bird

 

[Bea]

Hehe, i think she's warming up to the birds because she thinks i've stopped wanting more. Lucky for her it would be a really bad time to extend my flock right now anyway.

 

[Laura]

Thats great Bea does she honestly think you have stopped wanting more...hehe she must not know how addicting birds are

i had to go to another city to get stainless steel as most all places have teflon

I know what you mean...I got a set online when I first moved in for $40-it's acctually really good quality which suprized me since pots and pans can be expensive. It came with four different size pots, and two pans.

with the baking sheets i use parchment paper that way they stay a good condition

We only have one Teflon pan right now, but I'm in love with it.

Luckily, my boyfriend and I live in a basement suite right now, so the birds are down there and we have to go upstairs to cook, so it's not an issue while we're still living here.

 

[Bea]

Wow, i can't believe it's hard to find SS cookware! We can just get it at the supermarket.

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

Thats great Iam glad you can feel more comfortable when cooking now I want to convince my Mom too that we should get stainless steal. I have heard of birds on every level of the house dying when a teflon pan was over heated. It is terrible the dangerous things that can get on to market.

 

[Sophia]

Good News! You can relax now & give your mum's ears a rest LOL!!

 

[**TielHeart**]

Lol I don't think my om will ever give up her cooking pots and pans.
The good thing is my birdies are a far away from the kitchen as possible.

 

[Rosie]

Thats great you've finally got it through. You really do have to explain things very c-l-e-a-r-l-y with parents sometimes.

I have heard the same too- the fumes apparently travel and stick to things...

i actually find cooking with teflon hard....
as retarded as this sounds... when i use tefflon stuff sticks to it!... but when i use stainless, or iron pans... i never have to 'unstick' my food...
i have never trusted teflon....
little bits of black come off into food... i have seen it!
gimmie a normal pot an pan anyday!

 

[Bea]

I actually find SS easier to use too, and definitely easier to wash. I always managed to get the food stuck to the pan too when we were using teflon.

 

[Aly]

Same here. Washing SS pots and pans is just as easy to me. It really hasn't made a difference. I just wash things as I am finished with them and that's it. Something tells me if the fumes do that to birds it can't possibly be good for humans in the long run either.
