You can’t say retardant any more. It’s flame development disabler
Just use cast iron and metal tools
Ah yes, cast iron, the perfect material for those with mobility and strength issues. Set it and forget it.
There’s more ways to cook than just a stovetop. There is nothing wrong with baking and roasting meat and vegetables. Roasted broccoli is delicious with just some butter/oil and salt.
If you’re having mobility and strength problems, active cooking with flipping and stirring hot ingredients may be a safety issue regardless of material of cookware.
I don’t think telling people with mobility and strength problems “too bad, you don’t get to eat stuff you like because you’re not strong enough to lift the pan” is fair to them.
Stainless steel is lighter, and more importantly doesn’t contain flame retardant.
Right, but the comment I responded to only mentions cast iron, as if it’s the only or even best alternative.
Good thing I use metal on my non-stick pans 😎
I know this is irony but I still feel the need to tell you and the world that the bits of non stick coating are not toxic in itself if digested. it fucks up your pan but nothing more. It’s high temperatures that release toxic compound from the coating.
They just stay in your gut and then later get activated and release the toxins the next time you’re out in the sun for a few hours.

This seems so obvious… Must be the plastic in my brain.
Anyone have any reccos for inexpensive wooden kitchen utensiles? I’m seeing Crate and Barrel for ~$85
Ikea has them for $2-8, depending on the size and type of wood. $85 is for twee decoration or something, yikes.
Are they good? I try to avoid buying future trash, even if it costs more money.
They’re solid wood, it’s hard to misuse those so badly that they become nonfunctional unless you’re washing them in the dishwasher (terrible for all wood) or letting them sit in dirty dishes for ages or something. I haven’t had any issues with the wooden spoons I got from them several years ago.
Another W for recycling
