One of the few really good sources for all metal baking pans. I am pleased with my purchase.
Thank God these pans are not non-stick. As a retired Hazardous Chemical Materials Consultant, I take this opportunity to warn all reading this post of the dangers of non-stick cookware. Unfortunately, the Washington chemical lobby has prevented the banning of non-stick cookware. The company who developed this plastic has been hiding the truth for decades.
Above 350 degrees non-stick materials begin to degrade releasing many hazardous chemicals. Some migrate into the food, others are released to the air where they are inhaled. Hydrogen fluoride gas realeased destroys lung tissue causing permanent lung damage. The higher the temperature the more deadly the results. Asthma-like symptons are some of the first symptoms to appear, also flu-like symptoms with headaches, dizziness etc. Over time with each exposure damage can progress to COPD, and in worst cases, Bronchiolitis Obliterans.
Other vital organs can also be affected including the liver, kidneys, bladder and brain. Fluorides have an affinity for brain tissue leading to memory loss and dimentia.
For the sake of your health and your loved ones avoid Fluoro-polymers used in the food industry. These include cookware, oven coatings, food packaging especially micro-wave meals in plastic containers. Their grease resistant coatings are also fluoropolymers.
