Mix oxygen and chromium, and you\u2019ve got yourself a little rainbow show all to yourself. It\u2019s basically a thin protective layer that changes color when combined with air and high heat. But don\u2019t worry\u2026it\u2019s completely safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/is-nonstick-cookware-safe\/\">how to pick a safe nonstick pan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get the Stains Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, your pots are totally safe with the rainbow residue.
