5. Mitigating the Risk:
To minimize the release of microplastics from non-stick cookware, it’s advisable to:
- Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils instead of metal ones.
- Avoid using the pan at very high temperatures (overheating can damage the coating).
- Replace non-stick pans when the coating shows signs of wear or damage.
- Opt for higher-quality non-stick pans that use more durable coatings or alternative materials.
Conclusion:
While the exact number of microplastic particles released can vary based on several factors, it is clear that non-stick cookware can release microplastics, especially when scratched or broken. To reduce exposure, it’s important to care for the cookware and replace it when necessary.
