I used to change multi-cooker bowls like gloves until I found out the truth about non-stick coating Bashny.Net

One can only be surprised at the variety of kitchen assistants created by savvy manufacturers to date. Here you and blenders, and multicookers, and vegetable cutters, and kitchen thermometers ... Housewives from the past have never dreamed of this. But times change. And even cookware It doesn’t seem like a surprise even in the kitchen.

Today's edition. "Site" I want to talk about this miracle dish. About pans on which food can be fried without oil, and it still does not burn. Or about multi-cooker bowls, where non-stick coating, as experts say, makes food safer and healthier. And it turns out that around this kitchen utensils there are enough myths and fictions.



Probably, everyone has heard that if the non-stick coating on any dish gets at least one scratch, then some harmful substances will immediately be released through it. In particular, they say that pefluorooctane (or perfluorinated carboxylic) acid will get into the prepared food from dishes.



The above substance in its pure form is a white powder with a caustic smell. This acid is used just for the production of Teflon - a popular non-stick coating for a variety of dishes.

And damage or even excessive heating of such a Teflon coating leads to the entry of pefluorooctanoic acid (which is considered a real carcinogen) into food. While in the whole dish, the harm of the substance is minimized.



Nevertheless, the danger of Teflon soon became known to everyone and all self-respecting (and consumer) manufacturers refused this material in the production of dishes. Therefore, modern high-quality cookware with non-stick coating is quite resistant to damage and does not contain harmful substances.

And even if scratches appear, they are not so scary. And if the husband inadvertently scratched the bowl of the cooker, when he feasted on the contents, do not rush to scold him or order new dishes. Better find out first. material This very cup is made and is the scratches so critical. Although their presence will still affect cooking, because the food will burn more often.



As a safe alternative to Teflon, ceramic-coated dishes are offered. But praising it, it is worth noting that it is very sensitive to temperature changes. And over time, the coating of such dishes is covered with microcracks, which multiply by zero all nonstick qualities.



Separately, we will say about the appearance of a pan with such a coating. The fact is that after a couple of months of active use, the coating loses its former whiteness, and acquires a yellow or even brown coating that cannot be washed. Therefore, buying a pan, remember that very soon it will lose its presentable appearance.

And if on a new non-stick coating you can really fry almost without oil, then in the presence of scratches of oil in the pan you will have to pour a decent amount. Which will not affect the waist of the hostess for the better. And if so, why do we need such dishes?



So it turns out that no matter what newfangled bowls and pans are bought, but over time they have to be updated. Sometimes once every 2 years, sometimes once a year, and sometimes more often. And in this situation, you begin to understand those old-school mistresses who refuse non-stick coatings. And prefer durable and safe steel and cast iron products.
