Non -toxic kitchen utensils: the best options on the market

In the 1950s, non -stick pans struck the market for the very first time. In the 1960s, Teflon kitchen utensils (the brand name for these pans) were a staple food in many households in the United States. But today, the questions have been swirling on their safety for some time. Indeed, a large part of the non-stick utensils on the market contains per- and poly-fluoroalkyle substances (PFAS), which are chemicals that can harm our health. Here is what we know about the safety of PFAs, as well as some of the best non -toxic kitchen utensils that you can find on the market today.

Is the non-stick coating sure?

The PFAs were invented in the 1930s, and since then they have been used not only in non -stick pans, but also in many inventions, including waterproof clothes and firefighter foam. This is ultimately because of their extremely useful properties of water, fat and coloring. But although practical, the PFAs are far from perfect.

“(The PFAs are) called” Forever Chemicals “because they do not decompose naturally,” said Kimberly Kim, a consultant in the environment, in Vegenws. “It is the guests who go beyond their welcome in our environment and in our bodies.” She added that because of this, they were linked to “a list of health problems”, including certain cancers, immune disorders and congenital malformations.

But, despite this, there is still limited research on the safety of non -stick kitchen utensils. And if you look at the main organizations, the information is still not clear.

“The effects on human health of exposure to low environmental levels of PFA are uncertain,” notes the centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This is a problem, because PFAs are literally everywhere. They were even found in the rain and drinking water. In fact, in August 2023, research suggested that millions of Americans are drinking water contaminated by PFA. And they were even found in vegetables, such as kale.

“Remember that the key is not to panic but to remain informed and to make conscious choices on what we consume,” explains Kim. And one of these choices could be to avoid PFA in kitchen utensils. But does that mean goodbye to non-stick participation forever? Maybe not.

Are there non-stick pots without pfas?

The non -stick is practical, there is no doubt. It saves a lot of time on cleaning. But if you try to limit your exposure to PFA as much as you can, it is possible to find non -stick kitchen utensils without these chemicals. The Belgian brand Greenpan, for example, has developed its own non -stick coating and without PFA called Thermolon.

But, if you pay attention to your cooking method (preheat appropriately and using a lot of oil and butter), you can also reduce the stick to materials such as stainless steel. Stainless steel is already a must for chefs because it is durable and durable.

The same goes for cast iron pots. If you adjust your cooking techniques, you will find that the cast iron kitchen utensils can be naturally non -stick. In this case, you will want a lower heat (the cast iron keeps heat very well, which means that it can overheat and make food stick) and, once again, a lot of oil.
