Safe Alternative to Teflon Pans
In the past, teflon pots and pans have been given bad press and perhaps rightly so. It can’t be good to ingest teflon particles, which the EPA says has been linked to birth defects. So how about a pan that works just as well at repelling sticky food but isn’t toxic? Enter GreenPan a ceramic based set of pots and pans. The price is reasonable too at around $140. These can purchased on the Home Shopping Network.

- 10″ frypan - measures approx. 10-1/4″ in diameter x 2″H
- 8″ frypan - measures approx. 8″ in diameter x 1-3/4″H

What is a kitchen today? Without an army of food processors and an array of all sizes of blenders, it is impossible to imagine anything being cooked today.

Do you know if there are any other alternatives to teflon that are safe? I was under the impression that some of the non stick ceramic pans are also not toxic?
