Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Teflon has been in the news a lot lately. They are trying to get the chemicals to make Teflon off the market. There is a lot of articles about it on the Web. Mercola.com has info and on the WAP website there is an article under Mother 's. Basically you need to use only stainless steel as aluminum leeches into the food and aluminum is very bad for you. Most of this info has been around along time but it is now coming into the media. I would not use anything Teflon or teflex that is chipping. It needs to go quickly into the trash.

I am looking at our pots and pans coated with Teflon and teflex, some is chipping off and some is newer. Can this stuff be good to cook with ? Any research articles you can post here would be very much appreciated. Can you recommend the best type of material that a pot, pan or skillet should be made of?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi, Don - Congratulations on your efforts to improve your eating habits. Don't use coated pans - period. They lied to us about Teflon and they will lie about any new coating materials. Use stainless steel or cast iron. I also use enameled cast iron, and I think that is okay. I found some pretty fair stainless pans at Aldi's, very reasonably priced. Yeah, food sticks sometimes, and I fry a lot, so they get a little grungy looking, but I'm not adding Teflon to my diet. << Hi I have cooked the NT way for last 2-4 months and feel inspired.

Teflon is a nasty flouride containing material that can kill a parrot if its in the kitchen while you are cooking. I'm well aware of this because I live with my father-in-law who has 7 exotic birds. It it can kill a parrot relatively easily, which tells me it certainly is far from inert. I personally use nothing but cast-iron and stainless steel, or high-carbon steel (like old fashioned woks). I just search the second-hand stores for stainless steel pots and pans, and spatulas and ladles etc... Good luck! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thank you for so many replies, It does seem I need to throw out the Teflon pans. Can you send me websites as to where to buy stainless steel good quality cooking gear? I can check goodwill but I have not been successful there for other items. Or a store in Portland Oregon.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 How about glass pans? Anyone heard anything for/against??? I just bought a half-loaf sized glass bread pan, but now wonder about what I've heard that they coat glass to keep it from getting a milky film or something. > > > Hi, Don - > > Congratulations on your efforts to improve your eating habits. > > Don't use coated pans - period.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have never heard that but it would not surprise me. For breads or baking I have purchased a considerable amount of stoneware from Pampered Chef. I love it and Sally references it in her book. I would personally not be real worried about glass.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 There used to be a time when humans were smart enough to leave the mine if a canary died... Its amazing what we don't listen to now. -Lana > I would replace them ASAP and not worry about the loss.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi friends We put about 1/4 inch white vinegar in our stainless pan boil it for about 1 minute remove the vinegar and it somehow makes the stainless pan some what stick free. It seems to do well for pancakes and eggs which dosent take much heat. Need to do the vinegar about evey 4 weeks, give it a try.
