When heated to 500 degrees, non-stick cookware becomes dangerous because it releases perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOA has been linked to development issues, infertility, and thyroid disease. Identified as a likely carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency, PFOA can cause flu-like symptoms for humans, and is proven lethal for birds.*
For alternatives to non-stick cookware, seek out iron cookware, stainless steel, titanium, or ceramic cookware. If you want to keep using your non-stick cookware, just stick to low-medium temperatures. It’s the high temperatures that release the unsafe toxins from non-stick cookware.
