Non stick pots and pans are VERY VERY unhealthy.

Beware of the kind of pots/pans you use to cook your food.

*Non stick pots and pans are VERY VERY unhealthy!!*

They are usually coated with substances that are chemically loaded, and will be released into your food when heated.

While generally safe for everyday cooking, non-stick pots and pans, often coated with PTFE (Teflon), can pose potential health risks if heated excessively or if the coating is damaged, potentially releasing harmful fumes or chemicals.

Potential Dangers:
PFAS Chemicals:
Many non-stick coatings contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are known to accumulate in the environment and have been linked to potential human health impacts, including abnormal thyroid and hormone function, reduced immune system response and cancer.

Overheating:
Avoid using non-stick cookware at very high temperatures, especially when using oils that have low smoke points, as this can lead to the release of harmful fumes.

Scratching and Damage:
Scratched or damaged non-stick coatings can expose the underlying metal, which may not be safe for food contact.

Safer Alternatives:
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is a safe and durable alternative to non-stick cookware, and it can be used for a variety of cooking methods.

Cast Iron:
Cast iron is another time-tested and safe material for cookware, and it can be seasoned to create a natural non-stick surface.

Glass or Pyrex:
Glass or Pyrex pots and pans are also a safe and healthy choice for long-term use.

Ceramic Cookware:
Some ceramic cookware is marketed as a healthy alternative to non-stick, but it’s important to research and choose reputable brands that use safe materials.

Tips for Safe Use:
Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions:
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and care of non-stick cookware.

Avoid Overheating:
Don’t heat non-stick cookware to high temperatures, and avoid using it with oils that have low smoke points.

Use Proper Utensils:
Use heat-resistant utensils, such as wooden or silicone spatulas, to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.

Clean Properly:
Clean non-stick cookware with a soft sponge or cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Ventilate Well:
When cooking with non-stick cookware, ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling any potential fumes.

For me the best pot to use is clay pot. Followed by copper pots, then stainless steel.

Small things like this can compound over time, and put you in danger of cancer and the likes.

I don’t even like the idea of the nonstick pans self.

I am going for clay pots to add up to my steel stainless pots ooooo.

Anything for good health I will go for it,what about you ooo?

Hope you are following?

Enjoy your day!
