When Teflon was introduced, it was thought to revolutionize cooking--a nonstick surface. Fifty years later, it is the subject of much debate among health researchers and environmental activists.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), an ingredient used to make polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)--the chemical in Teflon--as well as most other nonstick coatings is the controversial component. If you're buying any type of non-stick cookware, you can assume PFOA was used unless a pan's label specifically says it's made with alternative green coatings. For more information on the effectiveness of these alternatives, visit our full report on skillets and cookware.
