Cook healthier, without using Teflon or non-stick pans
After doing some research on Teflon non-stick cooking pans and equipments, I have decided to change to Cast Iron cooking pans.
Why spend so much money on “Copper” or “Three-ply” cooking equipment that is heavily advertised with professional chefs, as those pans use “aluminum” and “copper” which may not be good for human?
Instead just get a plain “cast iron” pan without the enamel, paints, or any other additions - I got mine for $30.00 .
Why Cast Iron pans?
- Teflon-coated aluminum contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a synthetic chemical used in its production, creating its soap-like slipperiness and non-stick finish. PFOA has become very controversial because of health dangers linked to it.
- In a laboratory and anecdotal experiences, vapor from Teflon-pan exposed to high heat produces vapor that kill birds instantly in vicinity.
- Aluminium cooking pans are also not recommended, because of the link between aluminium and Alzheimer’s desease. Aluminum is a strongly suspected causal factor in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
