Absorption through skin could be ‘significant source of exposure’ to toxic forever chemicals, study shows

I thought we knew this already. I was trying to buy better pots and pans like a month ago and did about 30 hours of research and just everything I found made me mad and this was one of the things.
Cast iron or carbon steel.
Yeah, pretty much what I found, but apparently carbon steel often has high levels of chromium and arsenic. That’s not to say it’s toxic at the levels it’s in there, but you still have to treat it a specific way to stop the chromium and arsenic from coming out 😣
Or stainless. Most of my cookware is stainless
Ah, yes! I just thought we were talking about nonstick cookware. Stainless is decidedly quite sticky at times. I like my mixture of carbon steel and stainless.
