I have a slow cooker that is made by Nesco. It is probably about 4-5 years old. The teflon coating is peeling off the inside pan and going into the food. I have heard that teflon is dangerous to ingest. What do you suggest?
Teflon is very dangerous. I discovered this when I got birds. Teflon is so deadly that if it is even slightly heated (by having a pan in the drawer below the stove) by having the oven on, it kills birds - immediately. It becomes airbourne and is that toxic. I know of so many examples of bird's dying from it. Can you imagine how tramatic it would be to be cooking and your bird drops dead. I had to get rid of all my pans because of them. And I'm glad for it. So it would be, not deadly, but not great to ingest for humans. Teflon is also in some heaters so its good to check that too.

Teflon peeling off- not comfortable using it
Just like the other entry, my 5 year old Nesco 6 Qt. liner is also losing it's teflon lining. In addition to the liner, which was supposedly guaranteed for a lifetime according to QVC information, the stainless steel baking rack rusted and also needs replaced. I have searched unsuccessfully for the manufacturer, but to no avail. I would contact them in a heart beat.
