A "Handle" on Cookware!

Are non stick coatings safe?

The cookware industry says yes. However there are concerns. When a heated non stick coated pan can generate enough poisonous fumes to kill pet birds, there is cause for concern. The issue is with the substances known as PFOA, C8, PTFE, etc. These are the chemicals that create the non stick surfaces. Teflon, a product by Dupont, has been studied for years. The concern is not just with the fumes they create, but also the trace amounts, flakes, or pieces that may come off the cookware and into the food we ingest. If you are cautious with your health, Your Cookware Helper strongly urges you to consider another cookware material.
