Question from LT
Have you heard of Swiss Diamond Cookware? And I was wondering if you consider this safe cookware? Thanks
Debra’s Answer
Swiss Diamond Cookware has a non-stick finish made from PTFE that is manufactured without any PFOA. This, according to their website is reinforced with diamond chips, which are naturally non-stick, thus using less PTFE.
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. This is a plastic.
I’ve seen other cookware stating that PTFE without PFOA is “safe,” however, I can’t recommended any plastic heated to high temperatures coming in contact with food.
The only non-stick pans I recommend are those with ceramic coatings, such as Xtrema, which is ceramic through and through, and Cuisinart’s Green Gourmet line.
