Modern people pay special attention to health and pay special attention to less oil and smoke in their diet, so many people choose non-stick pans. However, in recent years, there have been statements about the disadvantage of non-stick pans, such as non-stick pans being toxic, non-stick pans causing cancer, and unusable coatings that have fallen out, etc., which has led to many people being nervous when using non-stick pans. In fact, these statements are not necessarily correct. If you fully understand all aspects of non-stick pans, you can get the correct answer.

What should I know about non-stick pans?

. Will it cause cancer

. Will the non-stick pan cause cancer? The key is whether it is within the standard range. The main material of non-stick pan - Teflon is not toxic. The reason why some non-stick pans have been detected is that some bad merchants have added a substance called perfluorooctanate to it. This substance will increase the chance of thyroid disease and ulcerative diseases, and has a certain carcinogenicity. However, this substance has been banned from use in my country now. As long as you purchase a non-stick pan that meets the standards in a regular place, it will not cause cancer.

The reason why the non-stick pan has such characteristics is that it uses a substance called Teflon to fill the gaps and make the bottom of the pan smoother. The main ingredient of Teflon is tetrafluoroethylene . This substance has very strong heat resistance, cold resistance, acid resistance and alkali resistance, and is particularly stable. It can almost be said to be invincible for all poisons. Can the coating of the non-stick pan still be used if it is lost?

Non-stick pans are used for too long, which may cause the coating to fall or scratch, but generally will not have adverse effects on the body. Because Teflon is a relatively stable substance, it enters the body in a small amount and will be excreted with excretion. However, after the coating is removed, food zoom is likely to occur, which promotes the production of some carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons . It is recommended that a non-stick pan be used for 1 to 2 years. What is the most taboo thing in

non-stick pan?

Although Teflon is a substance that is resistant to high temperatures and has strong stability. It can tolerate 300 degrees in a short time and 260 degrees in a long time, after 5 minutes of drying, the temperature of the pot can reach 800 degrees. At this time, a toxic substance called perfluorogenic ethylene will be released, so the non-stick pan should avoid dry burning.

What are the precautions for using various pots?

. Iron pot avoid rust

The iron pot is heated evenly, but it is easy to rust. Therefore, try not to put leftovers in the iron pot for a long time, nor do you use the iron pot to make mung bean soup or to make medicine.

Stainless steel pots are heated faster, but they are prone to color change structure. Therefore, they cannot be cooked on high heat, nor can they be exposed to acidic substances for a long time. At the same time, mild cleaning products must be used.

. Ceramic pots need to be purchased at regular malls

Ceramic pots are heated evenly, have strong insulation properties, and will hardly react with food. However, some unqualified ceramic pots may have excessive lead and chromium, so they need to be purchased at regular places.

Message from the doctor

Non-stick pan is neither toxic nor carcinogenic, but the premise is to avoid dry burning. At the same time, each pan should be replaced in time after 1 to 2 years of use. When using pots made of other materials, special attention should be paid to avoid harm to the body due to improper consumption or improper cleaning.
