Hi All,
Relatively recently i came across articles around standard non-stick cookware causing cancer or increasing risk of cancer. It seems to be relatively credible risk.
Just wondering what type of non-stick cookware do you guys use? Personally i have been using Tefal range but seems time to reconsider.
There was pretty much an identical thread a few days back if you search. Bottom line, if you want to avoid coatings due to a possible health risk then you're only option, and IMO one that's superior anyway, is cast iron. Personally I think there's bigger issues to worry about.
Our cooking process:
As much wet heat as possible - boiling, steaming, microwaving in ceramic or soda-lime glass.
As little dry heat as possible - stir frying in the patinas of carbon steel woks, occasional baking in soda-lime glass.
Sounds great but you can't get the wok hei with wet heat!

Thanks a lot. I didn't realise about cast iron. Look forward to next Aldi sale :).
I would suggest reading more scholarly articles.
In summary, maybe, it's unproven, putting sugar is your coffee daily is likely more dangerous than a non stick pan.
