I was making an appetizer (Spinach puff type recipe) that instructed you to melt the butter in the baking dish for 3 minutes. I think the temp was 350.
When I took it out of oven, was hot, not smoking, no red flags to me.
I baked the recipe (eggs, cheese, spinach, some flour) in one of those pseudop cheapo non-stick square pans. It was a bit scratched but nothing major. Was that problem one? Now thinking Pyrex type would be better.
Anyway, when I was cutting and trying to remove the food from the pan, pretty good size pieces of the non-stick were sticking to the food. Some maybe the length of say a peanut M$M ... going with a food analogy.
Yum. So in the trash it went. It wasn't like I was chiseling the pan. A coincidence. I wouldn't think melting some butter for just 3 minutes would mess things up that much. Or, was it really just a sign that I shouldn't be eating that?
Thanks,
