Is Teflon Still Dangerous? Here's What You Should Know.
HuffPost
It may depend, in part, on how old your cookware is.
When I bought my first set of pots and pans, I made sure they were coated with Teflon. At the time, that was the gold standard in nonstick cookware. I wanted to make sure I could cook with abandon without worrying about spending hours scrubbing stuck-on leftovers.
My husband and I happily used our Teflon cookware for years, but when news about the dangers of Teflon started to make the news in the early 2010s, I ditched my entire set. Over the years, I acquired stainless steel, cast iron and ceramic-coated cookware.
Eventually, some Teflon cookware found its way back into my kitchen. Using it is just as easy as I remember, and the pans are affordable. However, with four children at home, I still worry about how Teflon might impact our health, especially now that my new Teflon cookware is showing the signs of wear and tear that come with regular use. My husband is convinced that my concerns with Teflon are overblown and that using Teflon cookware is now risk-free.
I asked some experts to settle the debate.
