Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box?
Mothra@mander.xyz 11 months ago
Once I had a non stick frying pan catch the smell of laundry detergent pods and the stuff wouldn’t go away, ruining my breakfast. Vinegar didn’t work. So I cooked oats and oil until burning it almost. That removed the smell. I know it’s different with a plastic container as you can’t put it on the stove, but I would try storing and reheating some very oily porridge in that container. Sometimes what detergents and acids can’t remove, oils wipe awat easily. But, do try the vinegar first.

Need to replace non-sticks every 6 months to avoid risk of cancer

If the item is brand new but it’s been sitting unused for years too? Or is this a thing related to use? How can I know the pan I just bought hasn’t been stocked for more than six months?

From my understanding it’s about use. The non-stick coating will start to flake off, and you don’t want to eat the stuff.
Using metal utensils on non-stick pans is a terrible idea for this exact reason as well- they’re really hard on the coating.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
As a human being, I tend to eat everyday.
Sure I have my diet days and take-out days.
But as a general rule of thumb if you use up the pan about 3 to 4 days of the week, then you need to change it every 6 months.
