Who knew non-stick came with toxic chemicals 🧪 #shorts #stainlesssteel #nonstick #chemical

I'm not pansexual or anything but damn that is one good looking pan 🥵🔥

Stainless can be nonstick if you reach the right temperature before puting oil in it.

[GA-yvzw]

For anyone wondering this only works for polished stainless steel which is uncommon in stainless steel cookware.

how to make a non stick pan:
1. Preheat your pan
2. Done

[Patrick-zrtv]

Stainless is easy enough to cook with if you know how to manage the heat properly but if you want an effortless non stick experience then go cast iron or normal steel. Stainless steel doesn't season properly because it's "stainless".

The reason seasoning works is because the polymer made when heating the fat bonds to the metal you're seasoning. This prevents any food being cooked from bonding to the metal, because there's something in-between the metal and food. That bond doesn't work very well on stainless because stainless is quite stable and unreactive, unlike iron or steel. That's the same reason it doesn't need to be seasoned. It's stable and unreactive, so food won't stick nearly as easily as it will on iron or steel.

As mentioned earlier, as long as you manage the heat well and preheat the pan and fats used on stainless, you will have no problem with anything sticking more than necessary. But one of the advantages of stainless is that food sticks a bit. It allows you to make something called "fond". Great for sauces and soups. That's why you should have all three kinds of iron pans, they all have very distinct use profiles. Cast iron: non stick (if seasoned), very uniform heat, good for oven cooking. Steel: essentially a lighter version of cast iron, has less uniform heat because it's thinner and lighter but is easier to use because of it. Stainless steel: also light and doesn't need seasoning, allows for creating a lot of fond, very good for sauce and soup based dishes.

Adds oil to the pan before adding eggs. "See how non-stick it is!?"

[AleksandarIvanov]

There is actually no such thing as "seasoning stainless steel".
The structure of the material is different from cast iron, so the reaction between the oil and the pan differs.

Great tip, thank you!
People tend to forget the CUMULATIVE effect of toxic chemicals, which makes everything more complicated. If you eat a lot of meals that are stored in PFAS lined packaging, AND if you also cook mostly in non stick pans, AND if you wear makeup everyday, AND wear mostly clothes with PFAS right against your skin such as leggings and you sweat in them, AND if you use a yoga mat that picks up PFAS from your carpet, AND if you drink tap water that contains PFAS, well… even if it’s a small amount of toxic chemicals for each product it can add up to dangerous levels that can trigger serious health issues.

Another concern is the COCKTAIL effect, when many different toxic chemicals create strange sets of symptoms and illnesses when they accumulate in a person’s body.
This is very difficult to study because every person reacts differently and scientists don’t know how this mix of chemicals is truly affecting our body. Since there are endless possibilities regarding the type of chemicals, their toxicity level, their concentration and the way they interact with other chemicals in our blood, organs etc… there really is no way to study the effects all these toxic chemicals have on our body.
The future doesn’t look good though, as we use more and more plastics including silicone cooking molds and a million other products that are supposed to make our life easier.
People don’t realize that they are ingesting very unhealthy particles and feeding them to their kids too 😢
If we could just wake up and go back to simpler products made of healthier materials like linen for our clothes, and cast iron or glass for our cooking molds, now that would be a good start.
When people want to exercise they go play soccer or softball on an athletic field covered with Astroturf filled with crumb rubber, which is made of tiny pieces of old car tires 🤮
Nobody seems concerned about the heavy metals and other toxic chemicals found in this recycled rubber, it’s really puzzling.
Then they take their kids to a playground that has a soft ground cover made of rubber pellets glued together aka PIP (“Pour In Place” rubber flooring) which is also from old car tires. Nobody seems worried about their kids crawling all over this type of flooring with bare hands then eating a snack without washing or even wiping their hands to avoid ingesting too much rubber dust, no problem!
Only a few counties in the US have banned these rubber pellets but most towns are now installing a PIP rubber flooring in their kids playgrounds and Astroturf on their athletic fields.
No wonder kids who play several times a week on those fields have such a high rate of leukemia or other cancers, especially the goalies who are in contact with the toxic rubber pellets…

Our homes are filled with toxic stuff, and people have no problem putting pieces of furniture like IKEA in their kids room, not realizing that the glue in these particle boards releases toxic airborne formaldehyde particles that are very unhealthy, especially for youngsters.
Even smart people are still heating up their food in a microwave in a plastic container or worse in a cardboard box from the restaurant, not realizing that there are PFAS in the lining of the box.
I have a friend who’s all about clean living, healthy lifestyle etc… but she has no problem putting her kids’ plastic lunch boxes in the dishwasher everyday, it’s disheartening…She doesn’t want to hear the fact that BPAs and other toxic chemicals get released because of the heat in there 🙄
I have another friend who’s an environmentalist but she mostly wears synthetic fabrics and doesn’t care about the tiny pieces of nylon or polyester that her clothes shed during each wash in her machine. Where does she think all these microplastics end up if not in the ocean?

It’s really sad because we now have access to lots of information about this stuff online but most people don’t want to change their bad, lazy habits.
I’m afraid the force of inertia is far too great, and people love their stretchy clothes, silicone cooking molds, cheap furniture and stain resistant sofas way too much to give them up.
How can we remain hopeful when even smart people don’t want to hear the truth about toxic chemicals in their clothes, homes, playgrounds etc…?

Coconut oil does not have a high smoke point - it actually has a low smoke point

[LaurenSPARTAN]

My roommates did this one time and that’s how I discovered my allergy carries to inhaling coconut fumes too.

[siege]

Coconut oil doesn't have that high of a smoke point... even off the shelf canola oil is higher. Refined avocado oil is what you want.

[iswintercomingornot]

Coconut oil has one of the lowest smoke points of any cooking oils, its about the same as butter. It could arguably be considered to be the worst possible choice for this.

[aasthathakur]

What about the oil coating after the pan is washed?

[HughMann]

You only really need seasoning for cast iron, stainless steel and other “shiny” metal pans just need to have the heat be turned up really high, to the point where if you splash some very small water droplets they will start moving and not stay in one place and boil

[vinceianromo]

Best way to make sure what you're cooking won't stick is to hit up your stainless pan and throw droplets of water, if the water evaporates quickly then it's not ready, keep dropping droplets of water until you see the water kind of rolls instead of quickly evaporating.

[gradymedengelei]

Coconut has a low smoke point at around 350. Canola oil, Grape seed oil or avocado oil would work better

[September]

I use the water droplet test. Once the stainless steel pan gets to a very hot temperature, the water droplets would roll around like beads. And there u go, non-stick

[bcoutdoors]

Toxic fumes are probably your last worry after cooking food on concrete.

[TheBoulderGamer]

As opposed to seasoning your stainless steel with oil and producing trans fats, acrylimides and other known carcinogens

[petersharma]

Professional chef here. Please don't do this. Pans are seasoned because they are porous. Stainless Steel is not a porous metal. You're just going to have a dirty pan with oil that will go rancid on it. You made a good video but your content is lacking.
