Magnetic bottle. Great for fusion cuisine.
But seriously, my lay understanding is that PTFE is one of the safest things that could exist, for some substances/activities at least.
- simlevesque 5y agoMy understanding is that PTFE never reacts with anything, but you can scratch it and ingest some of it which is bad too.
- evv555 5y agoThe coating of these containers often contain chemicals like BPA so you can't trust a PTFE container is safe even if you trust PTFE.
- lstodd 5y agoNonono, polyethylene and PET are the best. PTFE has this vicious fluorine atom there. (being serious, the article is blatant clickbait, ceramics are just fine, spectroscopy can detect parts-per-billion and that says nothing about actual harm, while linear-no-threshold theories are shit. -- and we're worrying so much that our health suffers more from worries than from most anything else)
- bruce343434 5y agoit (the teflon layer on your pan)'s a carcinogen when it inevitably gets scratched off and intermixed with the food, however.
