Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the dangers of nonstick cookware containing PFAS – poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances; otherwise known as forever chemicals. They’re called this because they take forever to break down and have been found in the body of virtually every person tested.
PFAS is a group of chemicals used to make items stain, grease, and water-resistant. They can be found in coatings on cookware, stain-resistant treatment on carpets and clothing, microwave popcorn bags and fast-food wrappers, and waterproof and stain-repellent clothing. PFAS chemicals are even found in cosmetics.
Our special guest, Jeff Leitman is the President and CEO of Killer Concepts, a product development and brand management company behind the Hell’s Kitchen Hybrid cookware series.
