Tips & Comments

If you want to buy nonstick frying pan, make sure to go for the non-toxic variety that does not contain a toxic chemical called Perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA that is a suspected carcinogen. Though initially, the Teflon coated nonstick pans contained PFOA, they have been free of the chemical since 2013. Today, most Teflon nonstick cookware is safe to as long as you don’t cook at very high temperatures. Try buying nonstick pots and pans with a silicon-based coating called Thermolon. It is a safe material, is scratch-resistant and doesn’t release toxins into your food, even if the pan is accidentally overheated. Remember never to use metal implements to toss the food on a nonstick pan as it can scratch the surface and make it flake.
