Teflon non-stick coatings, other major producers of non-stick coating too, are "feeling the heat." And so unjustly.
Why?
Rice Cooker Reviews
Because of the misconception that the Teflon (registered trademark of DuPont) is a synonym for PFOA, "a term that came to hear about in recent years.
Here, we explain the difference, try to put things. And I tell you how to safely enjoy their changes without tools.
First, what is PFOA? Also known as "C-8," Perfluoro-octanoicThe acid is a surfactant, a crucial help for the polymerization of water-based fluoropolymer. It 'also used in the manufacture of many consumer products today.
PFOA is dangerous? Well, in 2005, a study of risk assessment by DuPont and international environment, it was determined that the remains of PFOA in the blood of most everyone on the planet. No illness has been associated with this compound, including workers in chemical plants exposed to much higher levels.
PFOA is notTeflon, the brand is to identify as a generic name for DuPont PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Neither PFOA is fluoropolymer. Neither is a dispersion of PTFE PFOA.
And the PFOA is not no stick in your cookwares. Why?
Because PFOA is released for the manufacture of coating non-stick cookware. Measurement of PFOA, also in parts per billion, are undetectable.
This is a stick coating for cookware safe?
Yes, but you should avoid overheating your kitchen utensils. WhileTeflon is a remarkable stability to heat, prolonged exposure to cooking temperatures above 500 degrees Fahrenheit is not recommended. Not only reduces the cooking time, heat can lead to excessive smoke suitable for inhalation. Will they hurt? Worst case - and you have to breathe enough of them - would be temporary flu-like conditions, such as chills, fever or headache. In my many years of working with these products independently, I never had these symptoms reportedas "polymer fume fever.
What is the temperature can not stick his pots to get? Consider these "safe" examples. Scrambled eggs cooked over medium heat for several minutes can produce surface temperatures of about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. For fried chicken, cooked over high heat for about five minutes, temperatures around 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bacon, cooked for about five minutes on high, at about 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
So what is' the kitchen of the risk? Consider preheated empty containers, with orwithout oil will exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit in just a couple of minutes. Foods such as hamburgers, especially meat, temperatures of greater risk.
Follow these precautions and cook safely: Avoid metal spatulas. Wood or plastic utensils are ideal. When storing your pots and pans, do not scratch the separation of cooking surfaces with a cloth or paper towel. Do not heat the empty container. Never use high heat. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated. Choose heavierpans absorb more heat. And replace your pots at the first signs of flaking or peeling.
With responsible use, the cookware with Teflon non-stick coatings must provide two or more years of reliable performance stick.
