If the Teflon coating on your Mr. Coffee hot plate is coming off, it can be a concern. Ingesting flakes of Teflon is generally considered non-toxic, but it can still pose a risk if it affects the functionality of the appliance or if the coating continues to degrade. Additionally, damaged non-stick surfaces can lead to uneven heating and potential safety hazards. It's advisable to discontinue use and consider replacing the appliance.

Your coffee may be coming out watery because the coffee grounds are not being brewed long enough or the grind size is too coarse, leading to under-extraction. Adjusting the brewing time or using a finer grind size can help improve the strength and flavor of your coffee.

Is there a breadmaker without a non-stick or teflon bowl surface?

No sane person on earth is going to believe that the government is going to "mandate the use of Teflon in every cooking item." That's what the most recent answer to this said, and that's the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. I thought it was a joke until I read every word of that answer: the person who wrote it seems to think that the government will force companies to put Teflon on cooking items in order to reduce the world's population. That's right. How, you might wonder, could that be? Well, Teflon's chemical breakdown products may be carcinogenic, and there are genuine concerns about Teflon for several reasons. People coming to this page here are probably already convinced of that. But apparently there do exist people who are a little more extreme, who imagine that this danger is so great that the government will take advantage of that menace by requiring Teflon on everything in the kitchen in order to sicken enough people that we'll all start dropping dead from Teflon related illnesses, and there will be fewer people in the world. You may not have heard of them, but there really do exist people who, similarly, believe that vaccines are a plot, not to prevent disease, but to kill as many people as possible. There really are people who believe that. I'm praying that the answer that was put here at first was satire, not literal belief....I love satire also, but I don't think that it belongs here on Wiki. Well, Teflon is an item of concern: I don't allow it in my house because of PTFE toxicosis--sensitivity of birds to Teflon fumes. The Environmental Working Group is concerned about it, as are lots of other consumer groups. That the government would "mandate" all cooking utensils be Teflon coated is obviously absurd, if for no reason other than the fact that not every cooking utensil in the kitchen can be coated with teflon: according to the manufacturer, "DuPont™ Teflon® industrial coatings can be used on carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass, and magnesium, as well as non-metallics such as glass, fiberglass, some rubber, and plastics." So you're going to find it difficult to imagine that the government could mandate something such as coating cast iron skillets with Teflon®. Here's the original answer; I'm leaving it up because this answer is linked to at other sites, and people coming to this page deserve an explanation: "Nope, the government is mandating the use of teflon in every cooking item. It is now up for review and could become law. If a company makes an item without teflon or you cook without teflon you could face criminal charges. I guess that's why there aren't any companies making bread machines without it. Since there are countless people including myself that want to buy a bread machine without the toxic teflon crap, this is the only reason I can come up with. I think it's part of the strategy to help keep the world's population lower. Teflon will cause cancer and a host of other dangerous health problems..... why not incorporate it into everything?" The Bready Bread Machine mentioned in the 7/18/11 addendum to this answer DOES have a non-stick coating of some sort: "A non-stick bake pan allows your bread to roll out effortlessly onto a cooling rack." Their website doesn't say whether it is Teflon or one of the other coatings. Someone apparently thought that the laws of chemistry are somehow different in Sweden than they are elsewhere. The previous answer stated, "it looks to get around the teflon issue because it was engineered in Sweden."


Why after spraying water based coating's there's bubbles coming out?

After you spray something with a water based coating you should spray over it with polyurethane. This will make the bubbles not come up and the surface you have just sprayed stay smooth.

Why does a coating of oil slow the oxidation of iron?

A coating of oil slows the oxidation of iron because it acts as a barrier, preventing oxygen and moisture from coming into direct contact with the iron surface. This inhibits the chemical reaction that causes iron to rust.
