My New Purchase

I have been wanting very badly to change out my non stick frying pans that I have been using for years from All-Clad. I love All-Clad pans but the Teflon has got to go. I have been hearing that they are going to ban it soon, but my main issue is what happens when cooking with them. I have been reading that there are some health concerns linked to these pans and aluminum pans. The J. A. Henckels pan is PFOA-free, PTFE-free and made of ceramic not Teflon, making this pan safe for the environment.

My sister had J. A. Henckels Thermolon pans when I visited her a while ago and she cooked crepes in the pan with ease and very little butter. They are beautiful pans that will last a long time which is one of my main objectives when buying pots and pans; they get a lot of use in my kitchen. She bought her pans at The Bay but when she told me what she paid I reconsidered the immediate purchase. Then I found a Canadian based website called Slice and Sear that stocked the pans and shipped. They shipped my order right away; I love getting great service. They also have a store called The Healthy Butcher that carries organic, grass fed meat.

So if you are thinking about getting a new non stick frying pan that is environmentally friendly check out Slice and Sear's webpage. They have great cookware and knives at amazing prices.

  1. There's so much misinformation out there about PFOA, PTFE, and the Teflon® brand, I'm not surprised that you are concerned. I'm a representative of DuPont though, and hope you'll let me share some information with you and your readers so that everyone can make truly informed decisions.

    Regulatory agencies, consumer groups and health associations all have taken a close look at the Teflon® brand. This article highlights what they found -- the bottom line is that you can use Teflon® non-stick without worry.

    I'd truly be glad to share additional information about it if you are interested, and appreciate your consideration of this comment. Cheers, Sara.
