There's no way that's ever coming out looking like the picture.

    If it's teflon coated, maybe pretty close. You'd need to cook the bacon separately, cut it to shape and place it on top. And, probably the whites to yolk ratio would need to be controlled. Just cracking two eggs and hoping for the best likely wouldn't work.

    Also, don't use teflon coated pans.

    Why not use teflon pans? genuine question

    They are constantly shedding Teflon into your food, even if you baby them with the softest possible utensils (which you need to do anyways to have them last more than a week). When people talk about microplastics in your blood/brain, this is one of the more common sources.

    The field of understanding the impacts of having plastic in your body is still evolving, so there's little conclusive proof that it's bad for you. But there's definitely no proof that it's good for you either.

    Also, if they ever get overheated, they can release toxic gases into the air, and given that most home kitchens are poorly ventilated at best, it's not good.

    On top of all that, as mentioned, they're practically disposable dishware because the PTFE layer loses its nonstick properties pretty rapidly under any amount of regular use.

    My understanding is that it isn't the Teflon itself that's the problem, that reacts to basically nothing. It's the thing they use to get the Teflon to stick to the pan that comes off sometimes which is the problem.

    PTFE breaks down when under sustained high heat, leading to fumes that can make you sick. PTFE chains are too long to get stuck in the body from my understanding. The main issue with PTFE pans is that producing PTFE creates a lot of toxic byproducts that are extremely damaging to the body

  • It's more that PFAS waste streams, if left untreated, can pollute great swaths of land and water.

    Teflon itself is incredibly inert and will pass through any digestive system fully intact. It's the PFAS you have to worry about, and that's only if you're ingesting or breathing it.

    So, Teflon pans aren't hurting you directly. Just indirectly. Slowly. As it destroys farmland, crops, animals, and water sources all in the name of capitalism and the ability to make a product that is considered disposable instead of lasting forever.

    It's giving me trauma too. Not to insult the persons cooking skills, but it just makes me so sad.

    @The_Picard_Maneuver #AltText4You #alttext A meme reads "Accidentally gave my kid trauma for breakfast this morning." Left: a Funny Side Up egg mold box showing a cute dog face made from eggs. Right: the actual pan result, a deformed, creepy egg face with burnt edges and a broken yolk. The contrast is the joke.

    Looks like they covered the pan and had the heat way too high. Although I doubt it would have worked anyways lol
