Is your skillet/pan as kitchen-safe as advertised? 🍳 🤔 Let’s take a look and find out! 👉 If the pan is made with Teflon, it goes straight into the trash can! 🗑️ The forever chemicals can cause cancer, hormonal disruptions, and a host of nasty side effects that aren’t worth the “no-stick benefit.” 👉 If the pan is ceramic coated, the jury is still out, but I’m not entirely sold just yet. Research shows that extreme heat can cause lead to leech out, which isn’t ideal for a kitchen tool you’ll probably have under high heat often 😑 They are better than Teflon. However, I still recommend minimal usage to avoid the potential lead exposure. 👉 Stainless Steel (the pan used most often by most folks) - If you’re going to use stainless steel pans, use 18/0 (0% nickel) over 18/10 (10% nickel) if you can so you can reduce the risk of exposing yourself to excess nickel (Non-Toxic Dad would rather avoid a neurotoxin like nickel than have a more corrosive-resistant pan 😆). 👉 Carbon Steel/Cast Iron - these require some TLC to maintain upkeep, but they are the Non-Toxic Dad-preferred pans for the non-stick route. For Carbon Steel, Non-Toxic Dad enjoys the de Buyer Mineral B Series (the beeswax they coat their pans with is toxin-free). 👉 Pure-Ceramic - Non-Toxic Dad is not a fan of ceramic coating, but a pure ceramic pan can be a great choice! They aren’t ideal for non-stick, but they are a non-toxic option for your kitchen (and great for sauteeing vegetables) 🥕 ! #cookware #healthyhome #cookingtips #healthhacks #nontoxicliving
