The point is, you're using TSA logic, and made up issues like dust and rancid oil exhibit that.

I also notice you haven't responded about washing food with soap. Or about BBQing. Please don't tell me you throw away canned food past its best before, too. That would crush my soul further.

If you do, please wait until tomorrow to do so, so I may steel myself for the shock.

I don't know what TSA logic is. Oil absolutely gets gooey and disgusting if left for a few days. It's fine if that's not an issue for you, I shouldn't criticise people's personal taste, but I prefer not to eat that.

On your other questions, I will refer you back to my earlier comment in case you missed it: "Just because I can't have my cooking utensils sterile 100% of the time doesn't mean I can't put minimal effort into reducing the risk."

That's an issue when there is enough of it to affect the final meal, not if there are microscopic amounts left on the surface of the pan. Just wiping a pan down is enough if you use it regularly. Rancid oil is also not going to give you food poisoning like the guy that started this subthread claimed was happening.
