Teflon PFAS Food Safety

Bzzt, they're coated in PFAS; they might be worse.

Been considering buying one but I am worried if plastic staying in contact with food while hot. Is this something you researched?

The "wax" is probably a PFAS-rich coating like you see on microwave popcorn bags. Maybe we should use glass, to be honest.

Some plastics are not food safe when heated and leach chemicals. Probably related to the concern the GP has.

i mean you're lucky if it's just coated in plastic, most are PFAS.

no because the effects of bleach are well known?what kind of dumb analogy is this.imagine if you sold utensils made of a new material you invested that was 100% compostable. and you tested it and observed it was toxic to rats. but it didn’t seem to kill humans at first glance. so you sold it to restaurants to use as a better alternative to plastic utensils. but over time they are toxic.now replace utensils with pots, and the material with teflon/teflon precursors (ptfe/pfoa)

The parts which contact the food are made of aluminum. Even if they are covered with Teflon or made non-stick, it's still not good.

I think he meant specifically of "cooking in plastic":https://www.packagingdigest.com/food-packaging/most-food-can...

The non-stick pans that release all sorts of concerning-at-even-1ppb fluorine compounds?

After I learned about the harmful effects of Teflon, I became much more cautious about consumption. It's nearly impossible to avoid the toxins when eating out because wax has been replaced with synthetics that leach into food from packaging.Just use metal wood or glass. One thing I'm not aware of is if Pyrex or the other tempered glasses are safe or if they also contain plastic. That would be good to learn.
