Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

Well as i was NOT invited round to help eat it :mad:
I thought i would make Pasta with homemade meatballs and my own tomato sauce.

er now i am in the dog house with Anne:o
let me explain
i made the meatballs, put a pan of salted water on the heat with the pasta in,
then i turned to make the sauce now we usually get tins of ready chopped tomatoes but looking in the cupboard all er had was tins of whole tomatoes so thought no problem.
i emptied 2 tins of tomato's into a mixing ball and got the hand blender out.
i started to chop the tomatoes but forgot to switch the high speed blender off BEFORE taking it out the tomatoes .
I had to spend the next 1 hour cleaning all the tomato off the walls,units ,ceiling and floor, changing my clothes and having a bath to get the tomato out my hair (whats left of it):o
but it was a nice tea
i will see if Anne is speaking to me yet when she gets up this morning :hidewall:

I blame LESS for this if he had asked me round for tea Anne would still be speaking to me:D

I'm wondering here all the non-stick coating on my pans has gone , they used to be ok about 15 years ago when I bought them , now everything sticks to them , any one know if the non-stick stuff is toxic or does it just pass through you :confused: ;)

My googling is in progress but I thought I needed to post this urgently in case you keep budgies:rolleyes:

Margaret , your a diamond , thanks for the info , have enough problems looking after myself let alone keeping Canaries in the kitchen :D they would probably end up on skewers like ortolans ortolan | Science Buzz :eek: :eek:

Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

Hi Margaret, whilst you were googling, did you come across any teflon in aerosol cans, I bought some 20 odd years ago, sprayed it on after degreasing the item, and then baked in oven at regulo 5 for 10 mins, I used it as a rust protector on some of my kit.

Retlaw.

Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

I don't think teflon was invented then (20 yrs ago)
... but if this is a serious question and not extraction of the Michael, then I will search again:D

Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

Margaret I'm disappointed, why would I extract the Michael, you've done nothing to me.
The question is genuine, I bought it in a spray can, not sure if it was called Teflon, but it was definitely sold as non stick substance, when it was baked on, it was black & had a smoother & thicker finish, than the stuff on todays pans, it didn't like being scratched, soon wore off, just wondered if it was still available.

Retlaw.

Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

I apologise for doubting your motives. It seems that teflon has been around for 40 years.
The manufacturer says it is not hazardous
Learn More About Teflon¯
Well they would say that wouldn't they:rolleyes:
The spray has a hazard sheet
http://www.weicon.de/datasheets/en/Teflon-Spray%20(GB).pdf

I found sites where people had used the spray and wanted more, but were struggling to find any.
It appears that it was withdrawn from sale - for safety reasons maybe

Re: I've Finally Done It!
 

Thanks Margaret.

Did'nt know it was so hazardous in use.
Applied mine in the back yard, suspended
the items on fine wire from the clothes line,
then when it dried, put them in the oven to bake.

Retlaw.

PS It won't let me send you some of that karma stuff.
