My teflon pan lost it's coating.can a teflon pan be re-coated or painted?

sorry but the news is not good
Teflon is a poison and when it starts breaking down , the best idea is to turn them into pot plants or junk
Some years ago there was a report on Teflon coated cooking ware and the dangers that the product presented as it breaks down
there is no life time guarantee as advertised

Not sure how safe it is to use appliances with cracked teflon coating. However there are ways of replacing the coating. Visit this website for details. I do not have any personal experience with this. I usually throw the appliance or utensil in this condition at my municipal dump yard.

How to Resurface Teflon Pan eHow

No. There is no effective repair procedure for the pan once the teflon coating has become scratched down to the bare metal or begins peeling off.

You can continue to use the pan safely, but the non-stick surface will not be as effective as an undamaged coating would be.

Never use metal forks / spatulas / utensils on a teflon coated pan.

Instead try using thermal rated plastic, teflon, or wooden spatulas which will not scratch the pan coatings.

Good luck.

If you are referring to the teflon coating, the only thing you can do is throw them away because that teflon is very cancer causing and toxic. How old are the pans? Just go to walmart and buy another set.

No product of this kind available. Pans are made to be used with plastic utensils so you don't scratch coating off, once you scratch coating of the pans they need to be replaced. I would not use them anymore, every time coating scratches off you are eating it. Who knows how bad this could before you, no one tells us this.

If the dark streaks are of a liquid nature, then it is the lubrication (grease/oil) from the sealed bearing in the bottom of the dough pan. The seal is broken and oozing out the lube. If it is a solid nature, then it could be the Teflon coating in the pan. Hope this helps...Hank

I would NOT reconsider replacing the pan with one coated with Teflon™ - - what do you think happened to the coating that disappeared? I would avoid getting more of it into my food if possible - see the following links.

I recommend using non-stick sprays or other shortening/oil treatments to act as a "release agent". Perhaps a little more work, but far less potential for ingesting PTFE (the chemical that is Teflon™) which is having it's safety questioned.

If I can be of further assistance, or if you have questions about any of my response(s), please let me know before rating me.

Sadly there's not much you can do here then. If it has started to bubble it only takes one swipe from a utensil to break it open and I had to get rid of my 12 year old tefal pot because of a very similar problem.
Teflon sprays exist on the market to spray light coatings on mechanics. However it is not fit for utensils or anything that may be consumed out of. You should just invest in a new set.
Please rate thanks.

If the pan is stainless steel I would expect the rivets to be the same or brass.

Hello,
Well if you just purchase it. I would try returning it , and explaining your defect to the customer service agent. Or contact the company who makes the product.
