Comment on She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 14 hours agoHow is it an overreaction if it can be done without losing anything in life? I retired all my pans with non-stick coating years ago and haven’t missed them a single time and appreciate that it makes it easier to minimize the number of plastic cooking utensils my kitchen has, too.

Yeah but if I use stainless steel pans, I can use stainless steel wool to clean them, so the sticking doesn’t really matter aa much when it does happen, plus cooking techniques can reduce or eliminate sticking even on stainless steel. So I’ll adjust to say I’m not losing anything I value.
And I don’t have a huge issue with it being used on things that doesn’t touch our skin or food/water often. And my goal is to minimize exposure in this plastic world. I understand that at least some restaurants (if not most that use pans) probably use nonstick pans and that I’m getting exposed to BPA every time I touch a receipt. So I don’t use those pans at home and don’t let receipts linger in my hands and use gloves when going through a bunch of them.

Cool, I’m not gonna tell you you must use teflon pans, but I think we were talking about bans…

Looking back at the thread, bans were mentioned, but the context that I was following looked like it was about wanting to go beyond what’s banned because the industry just rotates in variations of the chemicals whenever specific ones are banned.
