teflon pressing sheet
#1
i have used this costly product only a few times and it is warped and wrinkled!!!..impossible to use properly now, cannot hardly see thru it. it cost 18 dollars, guaranteed 5 years but of course i don't have the reciept. now i was looking at a new one in the store, same price, it came with a warning 'materials in this product are banned in california and are found to be cancerous' any comments on this are welcomed.

Any teflon pan that has any chipping or pealing should be discarded. Teflon is extremely toxic and is a known cancer causing subtance if ingested. It is fine if the teflon surface is completely intact. Just an FYI , I love the non - stick nature but every year I purchase a new one and toss the old. I am frugal but the testing on this substance is very conculsive. It is one of the substances that can be HIGHLY toxic if ingested.

Years ago, California passed Prop 65 that requires warning labels on many products. Here is a pretty good article that explains it in layman's terms:

In California, you get used to seeing these warnings, as they are on almost everything! Just use what you are comfortable with.
I just use an old cloth napkin or light-weight towel. I can't see through it, but I haven't had a problem yet.
You can always try contacting the manufacturer and explain what happened. In many states you are not required to have the receipt.

I cheap alternative is parchment paper. They sell it in the grocery stores to line your cookie sheets. I have several of the teflon sheets that are well used but still usable. Maybe your iron is hotter than most.
