Non-stick cookware, like the popular Instant Pot, has transformed the way we cook, offering convenient and speedy meal preparation. However, concerns have risen over the potential health risks associated with the non-stick coating.
When heated to high temperatures, these pots can release toxic fumes from the synthetic non-stick layer, posing a risk to both human health and the environment. As consumers become more health-conscious, there’s a growing trend towards using alternatives made from stainless steel, ceramic, or cast iron. These materials are durable, naturally non-stick when used properly, and free from harmful chemicals, making them a safer choice for both cooking and overall wellness.
