Read this next. Can Cookware Be Toxic? Medically reviewed by Yamini Ranchod, Ph. Many studies have looked at the possibility of PFOA causing cancer. Researchers use 2 main types of studies to try to figure out if such a substance might cause cancer. In studies done in the lab, animals are exposed to a substance often in very large doses to see if it causes tumors or other health problems.
Researchers might also expose human cells in a lab dish to the substance to see if it causes the types of changes that are seen in cancer cells. Studies in lab animals have found exposure to PFOA increases the risk of certain tumors of the liver, testicles, mammary glands breasts , and pancreas. In general, well-conducted studies in animals do a good job of predicting which exposures might cause cancer in people, too.
Some types of studies look at cancer rates in different groups of people. These studies might compare the cancer rate in a group exposed to a substance to the cancer rate in a group not exposed to it, or compare it to the cancer rate in the general population. But sometimes it can be hard to know what the results of these types of studies mean, because many other factors might affect the results. Did you also have a look at Scanpans? Can use metal utensils on Scanpans, sear and put into the oven.
Great stuff! I'm a big fan of Scanpan. My only two non-stick pans are a I did have an older 9. They heat relatively evenly and are a breeze to clean because the PTFE coating extends to the outside down to the aluminum base.
In fact, I like Scanpan so much, I replaced a couple of the original pictures sent with this article with photos of Scanpan pans. I like Teflon non-stick best in an electric skillet. The crude temperature control prevents over-heating, unlike pans used on stove-tops.
I've been able to keep non-stick coatings good for many years, plus the whole unit usually costs less than a pan and comes with a lid.

If you follow the directions and heat the pan, then add oil, then cook, zero sticking! Really looking forward to expanding my collection slowly. We bought 5 of these during the holidays 4 for family members as gifts because we are concerned about the dangers inherent with most other cookware on the market. We were worried after reading a few reviews that it would be difficult to use and maintain.
We haven't had any issues and in fact we love it. For cleanup we put it in the sink and splash hot water from the faucet onto it, just enough to basically steam whatever food may be left on the skillet. After a few minutes it's easy to just wipe the food away.
We've followed the instructions to start off on low temperature for 2 minutes and then adjust as needed. It ends up getting hotter than a traditional pan after a few minutes so you don't need it on such a high setting. Although the instructions say they don't recommend using butter, we use it all the time and have no issues at all. We highly recommend this skillet to everyone. I love every product of xtrema. They are safe and are made with high quality materials.
This quart versa dutch is ideal for my family size. Kuddos to you! Very happy with my versa quart Dutch oven.
