Sorry for the long post but our birds are in DANGER! It's been a while since I visited, but I need help, advise from the true experts here. We just purchased a new electric range, double oven convection. Brand LG, Model LDE3037ST. It was delivered last night. I thought now I would get new cookware as well. I know about the non stick PFOA toxins for birds, so I was researching other types of cookware on consumer research for the qualities i wanted. I came across some with ceramic, not really wanting ceramic I read the review anyway.
Now here starts the panic! It stated that the majority of ceramic cookware has some of these ( PFOA )non stick properties either coated on it or baked in it! Alarms are now going off big time. This led me on a massive search about PFOA. I got quite the education from at least 15-20 sources including EPA.
This is my panic, concern question. I found out its not only the cookware it used on a lot of things including open heart surgery which is safe. The comes when PFOA is heated then it becomes toxic. So I read warnings about toasters, coffee makers, toaster ovens, cappichino makers and yes stoves and ranges.
My new oven has the blue interior ceramic coating has any one seen these or own one? Im worried about the PFOA, is it coated on or baked in the ceramic? if coated on ill just remove the birds for a day and bake it off all day. if it baked in i cant use this range. I'm afraid to use my oven. I contacted LG by e mail, instant chat and left messages at corporate.
Does any one have one of these or know anything about this? I'm scared!
Thanks
Eileen
