What Do You Think About This Scenario Of Toxic Fume Inhalation?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:07:00 +0000

My bro put a teflon or plastic spatula in the top rack of a load of dishes in the dishwasher. Well, during the rinse sequence the spatula apparently fell into the very bottom. When the heated dry sequence initiated, the heating pad was in contact with the spatula and melted it. When my brother opened the dishwasher he was bombarded by stinky chemical smelling steam – fumes. Now (a few hours later) he has a chemical taste in his mouth and nausea – and exhaustion. He’s feeling a little better and drove over here – but does this thing happen often and could it ever be life-threatening or carry serious health implications??

What Cookware For Heart Healthy Use?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:02:37 +0000

I bought a Caphalon non-stick skillet at an outlet store location several months ago, and I have really become rather fond of it. Granted, it took me a bit of time to get used to cooking with it [in truth, I still haven't completely mastered it]. I have had it about 6 months and the cooking surface has developed a couple of scratches and dings despite my best efforts and not owning / using any kitchen utensils made of wood or metal.
1) is the technology improved so that the pan can still be used even though the surface of the pan has been breached? (Remember Teflon coated pans had to be tossed because they leached chemicals into the food from any scratches breaking the surface)
2) is there a better cookware for non-stick cooking?
Much as I love frying in a bit of butter in my old iron skillet, I have gone non-stick due to health issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What Is Your Favorite Material For Cookware?

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:27:42 +0000

We have a new website we are putting up at www.Mencook2.com. It launches Sept. 1. The reason I am saying this is that we are selling extremely high quality cookware but are interested in finding out what people prefer. Personally I think copper looks great and heats great but is not as good (health reasons) as something like tri ply material. I do not like Teflon and only think aluminum is good in the middle (tri ply). Is my view warped or realistic?
Any comments would help immensely.
Thanks so much ahead of time for all responses.
The site again is www.mencook2.com. We have some products listed. The cookware sets is what I am interested in. Specifically the Gourmet Standard cookware.
Hey men cook too, but I want all opinions!

What Is The Healthiest Cookware/bakeware Material?

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:59:00 +0000

I would like to buy the most quality and HEALTHIEST pots, pans & bakeware (price is not an issue.) I have heard that some deteriorate as you cook with time and can cause health hazzards (cancer)…such as non-stick brands (Teflon) or even aluminum. Can you recommend what type of material (examples: stainless steel, copper, cast iron, etc.) is the best for your health to cook with and maybe even some brand names??? I greatly appreciate it!
