Good thing I use metal on my non-stick pans 😎
The nonstick keeps the fat from clinging to my arteries. * health *
I know this is irony but I still feel the need to tell you and the world that the bits of non stick coating are not toxic in itself if digested. it fucks up your pan but nothing more. It’s high temperatures that release toxic compound from the coating.
They just stay in your gut and then later get activated and release the toxins the next time you’re out in the sun for a few hours.

Thank you for bringing a little education to my chaotic posting.
Recent science has shown what they say to not be true. PTFE can even off gas without being under heat at all. And even if it was true, you’re still increasing demand for something that causes an insane amount of environmental damage and the factories do cause a significant amount of PFAS to get into everyone’s bodies.
Good to know. Sucks with how hard it can be to find certain cookware that isn’t non-stick, but at least it’s doable. (Bonus, if something like a pan isn’t non-stick it can last a very long time so you won’t have to hunt often.) I avoid it because I don’t want to deal with not being able to scrub hard or use Bar Keepers Friend.
Good point, we need non-stick food, or maybe non-stick arteries
This seems so obvious… Must be the plastic in my brain.
Anyone have any reccos for inexpensive wooden kitchen utensiles? I’m seeing Crate and Barrel for ~$85
Ikea has them for $2-8, depending on the size and type of wood. $85 is for twee decoration or something, yikes.
Just use cast iron and metal tools
Ah yes, cast iron, the perfect material for those with mobility and strength issues. Set it and forget it.
Carbon steel is great too. Many of the advantages of cast iron with lower weight and still no PFOA.
Stainless steel is lighter, and more importantly doesn’t contain flame retardant.
Right, but the comment I responded to only mentions cast iron, as if it’s the only or even best alternative.
Yeah, I don’t think it was intended to be comprehensive given that it was a single sentence.

only mentions cast iron
For the actual cooking pan, yes that’s what the comment was saying. The tools were specifically mentioned as separate to the pan.
New super power confirmed: ability to walk on the sun.
