Question from Sandee
Is the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Energy Plus fry pan (with glass lid) safe to use? It has a ceramic nonstick PTFE- and PFOA-free coating called CeraForce Xtreme. Thank you!

You can read here about research that shows that quasi ceramic coatings released titanium dioxide nanoparticles into food and that chronic exposure to these nanoparticles can lead to immune disruption and pre-cancer lesions in the gut. I can’t say for certain that these pans use this coating, but I would avoid all ceramic coatings as a precautionary measure.
