Multiple studies have shown that when you heat up silicone cookware past 200° you release toxic chemicals called siloxanes into your food and air!
The damage caused by siloxanes includes liver and thyroid damage, as well as many other health issues like uterine cancer!
While these nonstick molds/utensils have been marketed as a non-toxic kitchen item, the research disagrees!
To add insult to injury, it’s not just the silicone molds - even your unbleached parchment paper is coated in silicone - so it will also leach off those toxic siloxanes!
Your best bet is to give silicone a side-eye and choose to cook with ceramic, glass, stoneware, and stainless steel!
If you really need your cookware to be non-stick, coat your cookware with organic oils
like coconut oil, olive oil, butter, or Ghee instead of reaching for a nonstick material!
Trust me - the extra prep time is worth the extended health you and your family get by going the extra mile to be non-toxic in the kitchen!
