Oh, you are SO buying me a new pan!

My 28 year old son texted me the other day asking why his nonstick pans were scratched. I asked about his usage and found out he was scrambling his eggs in the pan to save dirtying a bowl & using a metal fork. I said how lazy do you have to be to worry about an extra bowl to wash? I told him if he's that lazy then to get a nylon whisk. He had no idea you couldn't use metal. I tried many, many times to teach my boys to cook, they couldn't be bothered & now none of them know what they are doing in the kitchen and regret it.

Off topic but Teflon is really bad for us. Dupot was sued for this. They had a plant in Virginia and just about everyone either died of cancers or the women on the Teflon line bore children with birth defects. Teflon was initially made for the military; for their tanks so they would be waterproof.

I DO NOT DO ROOMMATES, PERIOD!

NEVER use non-stick! My city is contaminated by 3M due to the old toxic chemicals for making non-stick pans. The chemicals are basically indestructible. So, they just come up with something new we'll find out is toxic in 20 years.

give them the bill

Teflon is poisonous anyway.

Get used to this. I live in house of adults. Every single non-stick is scratched and "no one uses metal".

Yeah, I hate that. I learned to keep the stuff I liked IN MY ROOM. I had roommates trash a $100 steel sushi knife.

I have the same (kind of) roommate. I bought all new pots & pans less than 6 months ago & they are mostly all ruined now. I just want to live alone.....

roomy needs to buy wooden spoon

Put it on their bed and make them pay you for a new one!

Okay, and?

My husband does this. I finally threw all the metal spatulas out.

Not the end of the world just the end of a friendship

I'm so glad I never had to deal with room mates. I'm no saint but stuff like this and fridge stealing would have driven me mental

Just fyi, nonstick stuff like this can kill any pet birds in the house. I don't use this type for that reason and also because properly seasoned cast iron works better to be nonstick and you won't be ingesting or imparting into the air any teflon particles. Stainless steel works too. Even pyrex, porcelain, or enameled steel is better than this stuff. That layer on the surface always ends up scraped into your food no matter what you do.

😔

Murder. Pure, unadulterated murder

Once I have her once I got it back worst than this almost half of pan has scratch and non stick peeled off she use fork to make food and I did gave Woden spoon

Yeah, if you're gonna have roomies, probably don't buy the nice stuff, or in the very least, store it in your own room so no one else uses it.

Husband also does this. I buy new pans whenever we need them with his money now. He grew up wealthy but complains about wasting money...

That should have been established in the beginning along with the other roommate rules, just saying

OOOH I would be so mad!

I'm so guilty of this one, I just reach for metal utensils to stir by default, I don't know why.

Putting this on the roommate quiz.

On the one my grandma owns the non stick remeins only on the rims, the whole bottom part is scraped clean to bare metal.

My mom would be so mad

:/

:(

Scratch their bed in the middle, with metal utensils *savage monster revenge*
