Red rover, red rover send Perseverance on over. NASA landed a rover on Mars. Portland's storm. And Sara and Juel dive into our topic this week discussing and story of your pots and pans, Teflon a brand name. Our objective here is to provide information so you know, not to take on PTFE or Teflon. PTFE: the non-stick material (Teflon) PFOA: chemical used in the production of Teflon. PFOS: chemical related to PFOA. Up until 2015, Teflon was made using a chemical called Polytetrafluoroethylene, also known as Teflon, is made with four ingredients -- fluorspar, hydrofluoric acid, chloroform, and water, which are combined in a chemical reaction chamber heated to between 1094-1652°F (590-900°C). 1. If it's scratched you are at risk of exposure to toxic chemicals. 2. Cooking at high temperatures can increase off-gassing of toxic chemicals into your food. 3. Once you discard it, any PTOA that gets released into the environment will never leave. 99 percent of Americans have PFAS in their blood. Unless it specifies ceramic or silicon based non-stick, non-stick cookware contains some form of PTFE or related plastic compound. The replacement chemical chemical for PFOA (also known as C8) is GenX. Our replacement we recommend that we use: Stone and Ceramic, other safe options Cast Iron, Glass, Stainless Steel. Safety tips you keep your non stick pots, pans, cookie sheets and muffin tins. Risky : Empty pan, preheated 507° F: Heated on high for 1 3/4 minutes in a lightweight pan.
