Teflon non-stick coating - good or bad?

Panasonic has Teflon: (Tie with Teflon:
American researchers have found toxic teflon degradation products in the blood of people who cook food in it.
"The American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has imposed a ban on the industrial use of perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) or C8, which is used in the production of Teflon. Manufacturers were told about the need to reduce acid production by 95% by 2010, and by 2015 to stop altogether its use. "

Does the cuckoo have a bowl cover made of some other material? I realized that there is also a non-stick coating, which is made using Teflon. Now I can't find a link, but on another forum a man tried to find out the presence of Teflon in cuckoos, I don't remember where he referred, but came to the conclusion that Teflon was there and refused to buy it. Although, manufacturers claim that it becomes harmful only when heated above 200 degrees, it is then that substances are released into food. And all multicooker, including cuckoos, is cooked at lower temperatures.

I read about this conclusion of the man ... but he did not give any sources of information from where he dug.
It seemed to me that he invented it himself ... I saw it from his thoughts.

Search the Internet - you can easily find lawsuits in the United States with "Teflon" firms. The messages are about half a year old - a year ago. I also cited this on the forum, but with the indication of the sources almost immediately after the first such case and the PROHIBITION of the use of Teflon coatings. But after putting things in order on the site, I can no longer find it.

The first thing that I immediately found in Russian about the harm of a Teflon coating:

Teflon. Damage to Teflon Coating.

The US Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has banned Teflon-coated pans.

PFOA - a key ingredient in the manufacture of non-stick and stain resistant materials - has been linked to cancer and neonatal defects in animals. (experiments were carried out on animals)

The chemical structure of Teflon is very complex. It is known that Teflon consists of many toxic substances that get into the air and food from a heated frying pan. The more often we heat the Teflon pan to a high temperature, the faster the coating cracks and small particles and volatiles get into the air. At the same time (usually within two years of use), washing the Teflon pans by hand or in the dishwasher with a strong detergent, this process only intensifies. The substances released from Teflon are harmful to humans, and minimal doses are lethal for the birds we keep in the house. Even if you have never used a Teflon pan, there is a high probability that a certain amount of substances secreted by Teflon has already accumulated in your body, since Teflon is widely used outside the household.

What I wrote about the conclusions of the man is about the structure of the non-stick coating in Kuku 1054 ...
There are completely unjustified conclusions are given ...

In any case, the message you wrote about was not written by me. I wedged myself into someone else's conversation.

I hope the conclusions of the American Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indirectly and partially which I have cited, are no longer "unfounded" for you? In more detail, you can easily find this information on the Internet.

If there is an opposite point of view, about the wrong conclusions of this organization - bring them. I could not find such information.

My bread maker, like others, has a Teflon-coated bucket. For 2 years of use in some places where there was no direct contact with the shoulder blades, where the Teflon layer became thinner, and where it completely erased ...

Does the cuckoo have a bowl cover made of some other material? I realized that there is also a non-stick coating, which is made using Teflon.

It is very cleverly written there: all the layers of the coating are listed, except for the two-binder and the final one. Why is it not specified what they are made of? What's the secret? If they do not indicate it, then there is something to hide. They have an option: a medical steel cup. They say there is an option, but no cups yet. But for a long time. Anyone who has a cuckoo should call them more often and demand a cup, maybe then it will be.

Similarly, Kuku 1054F has a cup covered with cheap Teflon. I touched it not too much with a cup on the tap, when the soap and a piece broke off. And when I was cooking lamb with bones, I was scratched at the bottom, and I took out the meat only with a wooden fork, which means it was scratched when I was cooking. For such bullshit.

Tell me, is there a Teflon-coated pot in the LandLife pressure cooker too? I want to buy either LandLife or Kuku1054. I choose. Only if Teflon is in both, what then to buy? Tell me who uses it, what is better?

Tell me, does the LandLife pressure cooker also have a Teflon-coated saucepan? I want to buy either LandLife or Kuku1054. I choose. Only if Teflon is in both, what then to buy? Tell me who uses it, what is better?

Cookies have a medical steel saucepan alternative. Not yet delivered, but there is hope. what will be delivered I do not use it yet. I bought a tabletop induction cooker IPLATE.
And I am very pleased with the speed of space. The saucepans are suitable for enamelled, cast iron and steel. Here is a super device.

Teflon is everywhere. It is contained in:
In component parts of aircraft, outer skin;
Acne creams and treatments (such as skin injections)
Clothes for tourists and leisure, for example. Goretex;
In coatings;
In the clothes of adults, children and even babies;
In computer chips;
In hair straighteners;
In dental floss;
In electrical insulation;
In a bowl for fast food;
In foam for fire extinguishing;
In furniture;
In garden supplies and garden furniture;
In hair dryers;
Knitted;
In paints;
In kitchen utensils;
In irons and ironing board covers;
In leather clothing;
In light bulbs;
In suitcases and travel bags;
In containers used in medicine;
In nail hardeners and nail polish removers;
In pesticides;
In pet beds;
In dentures;
In shaving foams and jellies;
In solar cell coatings;
Wearing glasses with non-scratch lenses;
In stain removers;
In surgical instruments;
In umbrellas ...

I am also thinking of taking a bread maker, but the presence of Teflon stops ... I was very upset in this regard by Kenwood - a brand that I always liked in comparison with the others - although of course the choice in our stores, as in a Third World country, is scanty from the production of two Chinese factories on the same street ...
In general, of course, it is very easy for manufacturers to do without Teflon, sacrificing some user convenience - if you use stainless steel or thick special glass (the best neutral material known) - the user will have to smear the mold with oil at each stove and at the end tap the loaf from there. But the abundance of Teflon pans production in China, and glass / ceramic molds from the famous manufacturer Pyrex will greatly increase the final price of the stove ...
By the way, industrial complexes for the production of loaves known to us always go without any Teflon - they shake out bread there - these forms were always a little with carbon deposits in every normal bakery if you look.
A small search gave some results - very many housewives abroad are also looking for all sorts of alternatives to Teflon - there are tips to use rice cookers with ceramic baskets for baking bread, a German manufacturer of bread makers was found - he uses the new material Biolon (alternative to Teflon, but there is very little information about this material ) ( 🔗), to bring from there by mail will cost € 50. [Beem is a very interesting German manufacturer - check out the samowar section - they actually make their modern versions of samovars with an electric thermostat completely out of steel]
There are rice cookers ( 🔗) with steel baskets made of neutral surgical steel, in which you can also try the oven.
