If the coating of the flat plate contact grill falls off, can it still be used?

If the coating on a flat plate contact grill falls off, it is possible to continue using it, but there are some things to be aware of. Usually, the coating on the grill helps prevent food from sticking and keeps the grill clean, and it may cause the following problems after it falls off:

Food sticking: After the coating falls off, food may stick to the grill more easily, and it will be more difficult to clean.

Corrosion problems: One of the functions of the coating is to protect the grill from moisture and food grease. After it falls off, the metal may be exposed to air and moisture, causing rust or corrosion.

Health risks: If the coating is harmful (such as containing chemicals such as PFOA), it may expose an unsafe surface after the coating falls off, which may be harmful to health in long-term use.

To extend the life of the grill, you may consider re-coating or purchasing a new grill, especially if the grill is seriously damaged. If you continue to use it, it is recommended to check the flat plate contact grill regularly to ensure that there are no problems such as rust on its surface.
