Are non-stick coatings safe?

Yes, modern non-stick coatings are completely safe for everyday cooking. They are made from inert, food-safe materials that do not react with food or pose health risks under normal use.

Even if a small amount of the coating flakes off during cooking and is accidentally ingested, it will pass through the body without being absorbed, causing no harm. This is because non-stick coatings like PTFE (commonly known as Teflon™) are chemically stable and non-toxic at standard cooking temperatures.

To prolong the life of your non-stick cookware:

• Avoid using metal utensils

• Don’t overheat an empty pan

• Hand wash with a soft sponge where possible

When used as intended, non-stick cookware offers safe, reliable, and convenient performance for everyday cooking.
