Utilizing a custom-formulated stone-derived coating from
Germany, the Stone Frying Pan by Ozeri reigns with its ability to deliver
non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of toxic substances such
as APEO, GenX fluorinated chemicals, PFBS, PFOS, PFOA, and the lesser known
chemicals NMP and NEP. According to the FDA, many of these chemicals constitute
a worrisome class of nonstick and stain-resistant compounds that have found
their way into the food chain, including grocery store meats and seafood. A
federal toxicology report has linked a number of health concerns to the
presence of these compounds in people’s blood. Although the harmful acid PFOA,
and to a certain extent PFOS, have been generally phased out of production,
non-stick coatings today are often made with the aid of a new generation of
advanced fluoropolymers, known as GenX fluorinated chemicals and PFBS.
According to EPA studies on these chemicals, the “data are suggestive of
cancer” and when orally consumed, these chemicals may be capable of affecting
the kidneys, blood, immune system, liver and developing fetuses. Also of
concern are APEO chemicals (Alkylphenol ethoxylates), which are under
restricted use in Germany due to environmental concerns and toxicity in the
food chain.
Labelled ‘forever chemicals’ due to their poor degradability and
tendency to accumulate in people’s bodies, the EPA and FDA have cited
consistent studies of people exposed to many of these compounds that suggest
associations with several kinds of cancers, liver problems, low birth weight
and other issues, concluding that many of these compounds are more dangerous
than previously thought. By not using these fluorinated chemicals, the Stone
Frying Pan's German-made coating stands ahead of the curve, achieving the
highest marks for food safety and environmental health. In addition, the Stone
Frying Pan uses an inert coating that is applied using a water-based Sol Gel
Technique which is also free of the lesser known but potentially harmful
chemicals NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and NEP (N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone),
sometimes found in traditional cookware. Hardened for longevity, the Stone
Frying Pan is also far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick
surfaces. With superior non-stick properties, cleaning is rendered a breeze.
The Stone Frying Pan is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum core that allows for
even cooking without hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat
transfer on induction stoves, and a heat-resistant silicone-coated handle.
