Morning, ceramic pot sets or Teflon sets...where to buy?

[maj. tom]

aye doh buy no Teflon again eh. Use the newer non-stick ceramic coatings (like Blue Diamond) or a ceramic glazed iron pot with a wood spoon.

PFAs remain forever.


Price Club Chaguanas had some Red Copper pans. Also buy known brand names and not cheap crap from variety stores which have no manufacturer's regulations for safety.

I bought an Ekco set over 18 years ago and still use them daily, Don't see that brand locally anymore

Cast aluminum you mean right? Cuz if you getting real iron pots from somewhere, please share the location thanks. I brought home a 15” cast iron skillet from London in 2018 about 2” deep and I do all my frying and some baking in it. Best £14 I spend…

It looking ok, but when you dig a bit deeper (this is also called Member's Mark in Sam's Club USA) it says: "using PFOA-free Teflon platinum nonstick coating." Nice advertising making you think it's just anodized Aluminium, but it contains Teflon and PFAs.


Same as this: https://pricesmart.com/site/tt/en/pdp/715939

Tramontina is a good, well known brand from Brazil, and their website says "Reinforced nonstick interior coating is made without PFOA, lead, or cadmium." https://www.tramontina.com/11-pc-nonstick-cookware-set--blue_80143031/p

But dig deeper and it says:

This product contains:
- Perfluoroalkoxy alkane Polymer (PFA) (CECBP -Priority Chemicals)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (CECBP -Priority Chemicals)
- Fluorinated Ethylene and Propylene (FEP) (CECBP -Priority Chemicals)

Check this: I know it's not non-stick, but it's really good stainless steel and would be like non-stick if you cared for it well. Lifetime thing.

This is the Blue Diamond enamel coating I was talking about. https://bluediamondshopping.com/pages/faqs
I bought one from Amazon and it's exactly like the ads seen on TV, tested by quite a few on YouTube. No advertising gimmick, oddly enough. It's holding up for me daily use. Wood/silicone spoon only and sponge side of scrubber, no abrasive detergents.

wah on d menu for moms day?

Whatever d madam wants, at whatever restaurant it's available from

Maj Tom studying PFAS in pots but all them new fangled food packaging containers food vendors using now contain PFAS especially the "compostable" ones. People buy food so often that's probably an even bigger risk.

[maj. tom]

Unfortunately PFAS are everywhere and has been in everything for a long time because we thought it was unquestionably safe. It's only recently it was discovered that they were "forever chemicals" and are probably causing a lot of adverse effects on human health and development, like perhaps the noted increase of cancers everywhere in the industrial world, as well as brain development syndromes for babies in such environments. (just my personal speculation, especially after reading about the potential link of tire micro-plastics pollution to autism).

As you mentioned it's really prevalent in food containers now, and we can address that if we become aware of it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/17/pfas-forever-chemicals-food-containers-study

Just trying to get people aware of that one major source of PFAS in pots that we took for granted as safe and we need to get rid of it. There are safe options now because of that understanding. And locally we need to spread this awareness and get it into local legislation and regulation. Fabric Softener is another big source of PFAS that I want to mention. Use 1/4 cup white vinegar in your laundry instead.

Ah have some yellow cherry and local bird pepper .... and I want to soak them to preserve/ make pepper sauce with it.

What's the best mixture to soak them whole, or the cherry pepper halved?

Personally, i wont soak or preserve those
I prefer freeze those types of peppers
If you have access to a vacuum sealer will be even better

Cut them in halves if you want, or at least stick the outside skin with a knife to get the acid to react with the capsaicin inside. Clean Nescafe glass bottle, rinsed with some vinegar. 5% White Vinegar and fresh squeezed lime/lemon juice. Don't dilute the vinegar at all.

Then add a small amount of chopped garlic/bandanya if you want that flavour, or roughly chopped vegetables like a carrot or radish. I also cut up the lime skins and add chunks because I love lime-flavour pepper sauce. Add enough salt to the mix to help open your taste buds. Marinate for about a week or two at room temperature before storing in the fridge (this is why don't dilute the vinegar).
