A slow cooker is a miracle device, the capabilities of which many housewives have been able to appreciate. A wide range of useful functions, ease of use, affordability - this is only a small part of the advantages of such a technique. However, disputes about the health risks of Teflon-coated multicookers do not subside today.
A multicooker with Teflon coating allows you to cook tasty and healthy food, spending a minimum of time to control the readiness of the dish. Porridge in such a device will not burn, and the meat and pies will be covered with a delicious crust. The slow cooker maintains a maximum of nutrients, helping housewives save time. Using a compact gadget, it is possible to cook and diet food.
Teflon harm - a myth?
Teflon coating is not used for all multicooker models. You can buy a kitchen gadget with a more familiar ceramic layer. Teflon does not allow food to burn. But if the coating is damaged, food cooked in a multicooker will have a detrimental effect on human health.
Non-stick Teflon coating - developed by DuPont.
For modern technology and kitchen utensils, Teflon is often used. For example, you can purchase pans with such a coating. It is impossible to unequivocally state the harmfulness of Teflon. Although, when temperatures are exceeded, fluoroplastic - also called Teflon - releases hazardous substances. Heating above 260 degrees leads to the decomposition of the Teflon layer, particles that are poisonous to humans begin to stand out when heated above 450 degrees. It is clear that in a slow cooker it is impossible to reach such temperatures.
