@nontoxicdad: It's time to throw out all that TOXIC parchment paper and wax paper in your kitchen! 🛑 Did you know that EVEN the unbleached "healthy" versions of parchment and wax paper can be coated with toxic substances? Parchment is mostly coated with Silicone, which, when heated, is toxic (can also be coated with Teflon-like chemicals or PFAS). Wax paper is typically coated with a petroleum-based wax that contain a host of chemicals like cycloparaffins. Wax paper may also be coated with PFAS. While the silicone coating on parchment paper may be relatively safe for some kitchen tasks, it 100% releases harmful siloxanes at high temperatures (making them toxic when cooking)! These siloxanes and other dangerous chemicals are linked to serious health issues, so you don't want them leeched into your food. Instead, opt for safer alternatives like stoneware, stainless steel greased with coconut oil or ghee, or unbleached butcher paper when necessary. For cold applications, stop using traditional petroleum-based wax paper and try less toxic coatings like 100% Carnauba wax or non-GMO soy-based wax, always unbleached. The best option is to use organic cotton beeswax wraps to cover or wrap your food in cold applications. #CookingTips #KitchenTips #nontoxicliving #healthhacks #KitchenHacks
