Jul 16, 2008 BANG FOR THE BITE Replacing your cookware isn't exactly free, but keeping harmful chems outta your kitchen makes the switch worth it. COCKTAIL FACT Rosehill, NC, and Wilmington, DE, both claim they're home to the world's largest frying pan (at 10 feet in diameter). LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . . The Cookbooks Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip? (5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Are you stuck on Teflon pans? The Bite No need to detach yourself from nonstick cookware completely, but move away from Teflon - which has some sticky health issues - to new lines of pots and pans that stick to higher safety standards. The Benefits Sticking it to toxins. The EPA's Science Advisory Board considers PFOA (aka Teflon) a likely carcinogen, and it can come off on your food at high temps and with the use of sharp cooking utensils. Our picks use alternatives such as enameled cast-iron. Keeping pets clinging on. Toxins that enter the air from hot nonstick pans can kill pet birds (our feathered friends have very sensitive respiratory systems) - the jury's still out on whether they harm our lungs. Personally Speaking Toshio has been known to work out using his heavy cast-iron pans; fellow Biter Team members can vouch, since he takes every chance he gets to show off his biceps. Wanna Try? Le Creuset - more than 15 different enameled cast-iron cookware styles made to last; you still have to oil it a little to avoid sticking completely ($100-$300). Cuisinart Green Gourmet - three pan options with ceramic nonstick interiors and stay-cool handles and made with 70% recycled steel; available at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Also: grill pans ($25-$70). GreenPan - its Thermolon material requires less energy to treat than the usual no-stick options; three color choices ($20-$140).
