I always wanted to find out the answer for this. Thanks CNA for doing the video. Great content and good host! Thank you!

Very informative and well researched! Thank you!

I think is also important to note that if you use metal cooking utensils, you can also scratch the non-stick pan while cooking.

Leidenfrost effect - its when the air on the surface of the Hot Pan, acts like a layer and the "droplets of water" hover above the heated air. when the pan is not hot enough, the water droplets stick to the pan and "boils" and evaporate. So Stainless Pans need to be heated to a certain temp before adding oil and using..

Amazing content, well researched, covered all the points and shared the alternatives (with their pros & cons) in under 23min. Simply brilliant.

As always! Very good content and well presented. Well done CNA 👏👏👏

A breath of fresh air. Good channel👍

good knowledge . thanks

Thank you for this episode! I stopped using non stick pans many years ago and tried to convince my friends, but all of them don’t buy my ideas. I use cast iron, it’s a little troublesome but I have a peace of mind when cooking for my family.

DAMMM GOOD AND USEFUL TOPICS!!!!!! THANK YOU CNAAAAA. PLEASE KEEP THESE COMING>> I SUPPORT!!! thank you again

Never been to Singapore but Im really enjoying your news specials whether theyre relevant to me or not. Very interesting microscope on another culture.

Diana, really appreciate for making this meaningful and convincing episode for toggle uses for Teflon utensils. The part really moves me was the chef not even felt Teflon cookware is not their primary choices. The whole video conveys a holistic info. eg the alternatives cookware as well cleaning part's tip for standard steel pans.

This is very informative. I have avoided non-stick recently due to health risks. @19:06 - is it safe also to use rubber scrapers or silicone spatulas in high heat? Honestly, I prefer wood but I read that we also have to be careful with the type of wood we use for food. There are certain wood oils that are toxic to our body. I hope you cover this subject next time. 😊

always love CNA insider's content!

whats up with these bots commenting about pap. this is a video about non stick pans smh

Well done

Great Video! I just stick to stainless steel and carbon steel. Cleanup is really easy for both.

Indeed informative and I'm feeling clever now 😄😄

Nice tip at 17:00!

Another great documentary from CNA. Also now I know I’m better at sunny side ups than Diana Ser. 😂

Thank you CNA for conducting an impartial investigation into how safe non-stick pans made in the 2020's are.

There are so many other cookware to replace Teflon. Just change your cookware to enameled cast iron and ceramic cookware which will still produce similar non stick effect and is healthy cooking too. Other cookware like stainless steel, cast iron, claypot and glass cookware like Pyrex, Corningware, Visions are also non toxic. Many will focus on cookware but overlooked the material use for spatula. Please avoid Nylon material spatula for your cookware and to use reputable company for wooden spatula instead.

This is why tzechar restaurants never use teflon coated cooking utensils because of the high BTU burners... carbon steel is the way to go.

Good job Diana Ser

I will try my best to avoid those hawkers and restaurants using non stick appliances. Saw some using the pan even thou it was full of scatches. They are using it out of convenience with no regards for their customers health.

very informative content especially for moms like me.

This is seriously good quality journalism!

I think the best is cast iron wok or pan. You need to season it and it is non stick too.

They should add the korean stone coated pans thingy now quite common, The black pan with spotty white bits in it.

What about baking/grease proof paper?

I switched all my cookware to 18/10 stainless steel (pots and pans), cast iron (skillet), and carbon steel (wok) a few years ago. I realised that, while there are a lot ways you can prevent scratching of the Teflon surface, it's just a matter of reduction, not prevention. It's unconscionable to continue usage of these pans that leaches plastics into the environment. A portion of the ceramic and granite cookware are also coated with PTFE, while pretending they're not.

What about hard anodised cooking ware? Are they safe?

Properly heated stainless steel pans demonstrate the Leidenfrost effect when food with moisture hits it, leading to the non-stickiness. I don't think the metal pores close up at 230°C.....

Is marble non stick better than teflon?

Finally a video showcasing non-stick pan. Though the prof said it is "unlikely" to leach out in normal cooking...but do you need to risk yourself?

Cooking oil must be very expensive in Singapore.

I use stainless steel, cast iron and maifan stone. Even my rice cooker inner pot also stainless steel

I use stainless steel. It takes me a bit longer to clean, but I have found that if you coat them w/a good cooking oil, don't burn your food & wash them immediately they really are not a problem. Stopped using teflon years ago.

There's no need to scrub the stainless steel pan. Just add some water heat it up. The boiling water will loosen the sticky bits slowly then just use spatula to aid removing the sticky bits. Then pour the hot water away and wash with a sponge as usual. It's easier than scrubbing and doesn't scratched the steel.

Does anyone know what foundation the woman in black was using?

🙏 Wow! Not all Non-Stick Pans are the same! Maybe using Old Fashion Stainless Steel Pans & cook with natural butter is still safer! Thank You So Much Diana Ser & the CNA Team for this insightful mini social-health tutorial! 🙏🌷🌿🌎💜🕊🇸🇬

So... how do they get the surface to stick to the pan then...?

🙏 Always thought my free stainless steel half-pot which came together with the convection cooker is cheap looking & yes , it sticked on most foods! But now after knowing how to use it properly & knowing it doesn't contain health risk chemicals , will take good care & treasure my stainless pots & pans more! 🙏

When using Teflon or any non-stick pan, make sure you used wooden or silicon spatula. Once you scratched the surface, the chemicals are released. And it would be toxic.

Singapore is finally talking about teflon????????? Nice..we finally caught up after so long.

Can we have another documentary on the analysis of PFOA-free pans ?

Tip: To get perfect fried eggs, heat up enough cooking oil in a stainless steel or carbon steel pan. 😊😊😊

Professional kitchens are using "Made In" brand. Get one. It will change your eggs cooking game. Use a silicone spatula and not a wooden one. Hope that helps.

*What is a ceramic coating, is it somehow related to ceramic?* No. "Ceramic” coating is actually made from multiple layers of silica (Silicium-dioxide) through gel-sol spin coating technology.This technique applies silica gel solution to a metal base in a very thin layer followed by drying the cookware in special conditions, through which the high-density silica coating is formed. Manufacturers apply two to three layers of coating. This gives the cookware a better resistance to scratches and high temperatures. This material is not related to real ceramic which is produced from clay. *The label ceramic is used to attract consumers* They also are built to not last beyond five to seven years so you have to buy another one. Save your money and your health. Learn to use cast ion, carbon steel and stainless steel. It's all you will ever need.

I'm pretty sure the cooking temperatures talked about in this video are Celsius temps. So 250 degrees Celsius is about 480 degrees Fahrenheit.

its better using metal cookware like in the past , or using clay cookware heavy but more safe

Coffee Break newsletter brought me here 🙃

17:51 hot enough? That's the Leidenfrost effect la

The good old steel or iron is way safer and don't forget those water pipes or faucet and valve's internal bores are prolly coated too...

so are ceramic nonstick pans safe?

Traditional pans are meant to used by higher level skilled cooks. You have to oil your pan like a wok before using it. You coat the pan and pour the excess back into the container. People have been tricked to reduce oil usage on traditional pans so that more sales go into coated pans.

Invest in cast iron pans and say goodbye to telflon. Get the best sear on meats and non stick with proper technique. Also can use metal utensils on cast iron without a care in the world.

I was begging he wouldn't say "the stainless steel has pores". What a tragedy...

Wishing everyone watching this a nice day, and may everything work out in your favor🎉

lol once the pan has a scratch you purchase a new one…. Why not just you know, not buy one in the first place

im gonna go out and buy a stainless steel pan!

That's my professor in nus. Woah he's in tv now

How is Teflon dangerous, it calls forever chemical because it is so stable, so it doesn't reaction most of the thing, even highly reactive acid don't reacted to it, so how it is dangerous? How a non-reactive chemical toxic? All I know is when it is dangerous when heated over 260 Celsius, it will release toxic gas over 260 Celsius

here to see my prof

Let's always do alot of good 🌈

Stick pan is not that hard to clean if you know the proper way to do it. The immediate benefit you get from this type of cookware is no worry on leaking chemical into your food while you eat.🤫

17:50 seem like stainless steel needs a lot more oil

You forget about stone coating pan.

The irony is that using non-stick cookware could result in more oil usage resulting in heart diseases. So if cancer does not get you heart disease will. Reality is we are living in a very toxic environment and one thing or another is bound to be the cause of some illness or another. We may evolve to adapt but lifestyle choices will eventually kill us all. If all fails old age will do us in.

non stick pans are highly toxic, same for aluminum, i only use stainless steel or cast iron

I LOVE CNA DOCUMENTARIES THEY'RE ALWAYS ON FLEEK

If you want non-stick, carbon steel is the way to go. It's non-toxic, easy to maintain and almost indestructible (only way to destroy it is to leave it wet and allowed to go rusty). It would last a lifetime. It can increse your iron intake too.

Pass it on please. "Day you're doing a great job."

I cook with cast iron pan

carbon steel have good non stick ability with enough oil to coat the surface and easier to clean than stainless steel, just dun cook acidic stuffs with it

Uncle Roger : WOK HEY! FUIYOH!

very informative.. although there is risk of the forever chemicals, i will still use a non stick pan simply because it's easier to fry eggs in it.

We use floss with teflon. Help😢😢😢

Very well done. Especially liked your SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS. BUT DISAPPOINTED. At the end, when you learn how to make the SS Pans non stick, it would have been GREAT FOR YOU TO COME BACK AND COOK MORE EGGS SUNNY SIDE UP. And show the difference.

Yup spread awareness to reduce exposure.. i still see a lot using teflon pans; should be banned in the market

why people fucked up when using stainless steel pan and stick? because they heat is not high enough and they didnt put enough oil to the pan

Using a Ninja Foodi pan. Non-stick and oven safe, it's bloody awesome! Just use a little bit of cooking spray and it's slippery as heck.

if you want to fry eggs in stainless steel pan, you have to wait until the pan gets hot enough so egg doesn't stick to it.

I use carote granite pane

wok has left the conversation

I listened to this while cooking on a non-stick 😮

I hate scrubbing!

10 eggs for experiment in this economy XD hope it's not wasted

Anthony Yeoh is kinda charming

iron is the best and easiest to use. that's what the chinese restaurant is using for more than 2000 years. many people do not know how to use iron pan. its needs to be preheated before applying cold oil, then its non stick.

But you still can't cook perfect sunny side up and omelette without nonstick pan

does ong e kang knows about these dangers?

Wonder why is this episode not considered "disinformation" by the Teflon manufacturers ? But that's exactly the case with vaccine and drug manufacturers.

It's okay as long as you don't cook at high temperatures... Me always burning my food 😳

how about aluminium

your comparison of stainless steel fry pan cooking is inconsistent, frying an egg vs fish fillets - it should be tested eggs vs eggs

no wonder cancer rate high rocketed in modern world. so many things nowadays

you know already that's not good, lol
