What Are The Alternatives For The Teflon?

As teflon has faced significant scrutiny due to its environmental impact and health concerns associated with a PFOA chemical. 

As a result, many countries have taken action to restrict or ban the use of Teflon in various applications, the BBQ market continues to evolve, offering various options for those seeking nonstick solutions beyond Teflon as below: 

1.Cast Iron

Advantages:Cast iron is known for its durability and even heat distribution. 

When correctly seasoned, it can develop a natural nonstick surface over time.

Usage Tips: Seasoning and proper maintenance are crucial for preventing rust and maintaining the nonstick qualities of cast iron. 

But we have tested, the cast iron without enamel coating cannot pass the test LFGB nor EU foodgrade test.

2. Ceramic-Coated Cookware

Advantages:Ceramic coatings are generally considered safe and free from PTFE and PFOA. 

They provide nonstick properties without the potential health concerns associated with Teflon.

Usage Tips:the hardness from different factories are different, some factories'coating surface is easy to scratch, so need toavoid using metal utensils. 

We have developed a new hardness which not easy to scracth.

3. Stainless Steel

It is a good choice for high-heat cooking and browning.

Usage Tips: Preheat the pan before adding food, and use oil or fats to prevent sticking.

Disadvantage: thermal condeuctance is not as good as corten steel nor carbon steel, not good a choice if product is thick.
