Furious that his Teflon frying pan had degraded after only about six months, a thread starter vented his frustration in a thread on 5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyo G board (a real-time chat board). Fellow posters piled on with comments like “Tefal pans are the same” and “It’s your own fault for using high heat,” but the OP wouldn’t back down, insisting his anger was justified because “my roommate won’t stop using high heat.” Even after being told to just accept it as a consumable item, he never really cooled off.
Buy a new one, buy a new one, and it still doesn't even last six months. This is such crap. Just die.
This is such garbage, it pisses me off. When are they ever gonna improve this stuff?
Just buy a Tefal.

It's useless and it's pissing me off so much I can't even sleep.
When's that useless DuPont finally gonna go under?
It can't handle heat, so no high flame.
And don't shock it with cold water either.
Just accept it as a consumable.

Then you could just be mad about it tomorrow instead.
No reason it has to be today, right?

Well obviously they can't make something that never wears out, or it'd stop selling — duh.
By the way, they already figured out how to cure cancer ages ago too, but they're sitting on it because it'd tank the economy — all the countries agreed to it at the "Reverie" (a joking nod to the secret world summit from One Piece).

Shut up, quit price-gouging. Make it last for years no matter how carelessly I use it. Garbage.

My Teflon pan doesn't even last six months! It's got no spirit! It's garbage! It's useless! I wish it would just disappear!

Quitting high heat is simply unavoidable.

I was shocked to find the manual literally says you can't use high heat on an IH (induction) stove.

Who cares about that, they should just make it so it's fine either way! Let's all mass-complain to the manufacturer until they fix it! Come on, email them right now! Reply to them on social media!

If you actually read the manual or the info floating around online and use it properly, it'll probably last at least a bit longer.

My roommate won't use it properly so that's a no-go, which means I have to make a big scene online to pressure the manufacturer into fixing it.

I want my social media account back. I just replied with my opinion to Tefal's official account — don't suspend me for that.

Why not just stop using it?
A cast-iron pan would do fine.

It peels because it's got a coating in the first place.
If there was no coating to begin with, there'd be nothing to peel.

But knowing this guy, he'd probably scrub a cast-iron pan with dish soap too.

My roommate's a bit of a neat freak and scrubs everything with dish soap until it's not sticky at all, no matter what it is.

That's fine, though.
Restaurants do that as a matter of course.

If it lasts six months, that's actually pretty good.

What a waste of metal, replacing it every six months.

OP, your anger's cooling off already.
Guess that's about as far as it went, huh.

Feels like it goes bad fast if you use high heat.
Well, just think of it as a consumable, I guess.

Replacing it every six months is pointless anyway, so I just keep using it while seething.
