In Praise of Stainless Steel

Had to text my Mom the other day, and thank her for buying me these amazing kitchen tools years ago, when Jimmy and I got married. I’m sure they cost a bit … certainly more than the plastic and Teflon crap that’s caused so much cancer, IBS, etc.

I’m so glad we had stainless steel to use instead. And I urgently implore YOU to search your own kitchen and throw away any plastic or Teflon materials, especially pans and things that are heated.

While you’re at it, get rid of any plastic cups. Just fling ’em. Use glass, steel, pottery… There’s plenty of great stuff to choose from at your local Goodwill. Most of our drinking glasses are just old sauce and jelly jars.

Look at your storage containers and consider trashing the plastic and replacing with glass or steel. Your health is worth it! Your family’s health is worth it! Again, lots of great options at Goodwill.

If you want to know more about the dangers of Teflon, there’s a fairly recent film called “Dark Waters” starring Mark Ruffalo & Anne Hathaway. Here’s the trailer:
