On the other hand, non-stick cookware is very practical to use and wash. Foods doesn’t get stuck to it, even if you don’t use very much oil. The problem is that part of the non-stick layer can end up in our food, and when the chemicals that make up this layer are heated up or ingested they can cause serious health damage.
