In a world where awareness of the impact of chemicals on our health and the environment is becoming increasingly important, the demand for safer alternatives to kitchen utensils is growing.
One of the most commonly used materials in our kitchens, Teflon or PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), has come under scrutiny in recent years due to potential health risks it poses. This has led to a growing interest in gourmet sets without PFAS/Teflon.
In this article, we delve deeper into the emergence of this new generation of cooking appliances, and why they could be a wise choice for anyone seeking to cook healthily and sustainably.
Learn more about the benefits, available options, and how they fit into the larger context of environmentally conscious and healthy cooking. Discover why gourmet sets without PFAS/Teflon could represent the future of modern cooking.
Which gourmet sets do not contain PFAS?
There are several alternatives to traditional gourmet sets with PFAS/Teflon that are safe and environmentally friendly. However, there are often some catches.
While stone grills themselves do not contain PFAS, the accompanying pans and accessories may have chemical coatings. This is especially the case if the pans are coated with a non-stick layer.
To ensure that you are cooking completely PFAS-free, it is advisable to check if the pans supplied with your gourmet set are free from PFAS and other harmful coatings. Preferably opt for pans with ceramic or stainless steel coatings, which are considered safer alternatives.
Alternatively, you can choose a gourmet set or teppanyaki grill with a ceramic coating.
All of this means that there are not many appliances on the market where we can be truly 100% certain that there is no unhealthy non-stick coating present somewhere.
