Anything with iron can rust, it just does it less/more slowly. I have some really nice 18/10 cookware and if I stick it in the dishwasher and let it drip dry it always has a red spot where the water dripped and collected oxidation. Needs high temperatures and strong chemicals but it can be done.

Nonstick teflon coating starts to break down at 450°F.

[Anonymous No.17358274]

>>17358223
Gonna have to score that comment as "misleading as fuck"

450F is the lowest temperature at which any particulates have ever been detected coming off of a teflon film. We're talking about 19 nanometer diameter particulates. Also, these aren't fumes, they're still polymerized plastic which is completely inert. 650F is the lowest temp at which teflon will undergo pyrolysis which actually does release fumes that can be toxic.
Also, 450 is the smoke point for virtually every oil, so you shouldn't be going above that anyway.
Also, who is deep frying in nonstick pans?

Keep it dry always, rinse it and wipe it dry regularly especially in a humid area, be very careful to rinse it off after exposing it to salt, keep it away from chlorides and that includes bleach.

>rinse it and wipe it dry
even if it’s clean and hasn’t been used recently?

>be careful to rinse it off after exposing it to salt
how do you deal with that then? and how about using it to boil salted water for pasta?

In my experience, the stainless steel develops rust from washing it, even if I wash it by hand and dry it off immediately after rinsing.

[Anonymous No.17358605]

>>17358580
Yes to both. You want that salted water out of there ASAP for the second. It's fine at cooking temperatures, it becomes a problem from sitting there. As for your experience, either it's not as completely dry as you think or your municipal water supply has an absurdly high chlorine content and you might need distilled water for a final rinse. But I've never heard of tap water having that much chlorine.

Maybe if you're extremely lazy and treat all your belongings like utter shit.

[Anonymous No.17358616]

>>17358607
correct. stainless steel is extremely resistant to rust. Maybe if you live on the beach and you hang it outside to constantly get blasted by salty air, it'll develop rust in a few years.

You don't have to worry about it with nonstick either you tard, I've never accidentally grabbed a nonstick frying pan when I'm planning to deep fry some chicken. Burning a nonstick to the point that it could be harmful is virtually impossible to do unintentionally.

If you keep your stainless steel stuff dry it shouldn't rust, though. Least not for like a decade even with heavy use.

I use stainless steel pans that belonged to my grandmother, I’m not sure how old they are but I know that the manufacturer changed the handles’ design in 1992 (I had to order replacement handles, that’s how I know) and my mom thinks they were purchased in 1984.

So definitely 30+ years old, possibly almost 40, and not a single spot of rust.

[Anonymous No.17359087]

>>17359072
Basically just clean them after use, and don't let them soak in sea water, and they should be fine. Cast iron amd carbon steel aren't that much harder to take care of; they just need a little drying or maybe some oil before being put away.

Yeah, just take care of stuff and it should be fine (and I live in a tropical climate not far from the ocean, that’s basically rust’s favorite environment).

Even nonstick is pretty durable if you don’t abuse it and get good quality in the first place.

My jealousy knows no bounds. We've been waffling between snow storms and -20 - -30C overnight for the past two weeks. I'm worried about firing up the smoker - I'm afraid it will crack.
