green oil
jrdncatalano asked:


So I was cooking on a TEFLON pan, when suddenly I noticed that the oil was turning green….I thought I had bad oil, so I went to the store and bought, new cooking oil….I never knew oil expired, but I thought maybe it does! So I got the new oil, and cooked again!! And once again, it happened!!! the oil turned green again!! then I was thinking, new oil? it’s not expired, what is going on?!?I then realized that I had never cooked on this pan before, cause it was new….So I switched pans to a new stainless steel pan….I started cooking, and the oil was normal. I don’t know what to think. Please help. The oil looked like chemical waiste when I did it on the teflon pan.

Thanks much!! XoXo

    I have never had anything happen like that in my life! That is wild…I would look at the bottom of the pan and see who manufactored it and call them and ask them about it.
