What should I know about Teflon-coated electric fry pan safety?

Answer by  srainne (2597)

Most important thing I think is to make sure you turn if off and let it cool well. Many fires begin when someone puts something near a hot pan.

Always keep it back away from the reach of children while it is on. Be careful when working around it. Don't use a metal spatula on the pan. A metal spatula can scrape off the teflon and get it in your food.

Always make sure it is unplugged when you are done and monitor the temperature it is at. If you have younger children at home, be careful of any oil splatter or "spitting".
