A new material developed by researchers from University of Toronto Engineering could offer a safer alternative to the nonstick chemicals commonly used in cookware and other applications.
You’re going to make me read the article aren’t you……
Fine.
Ok I read it. This is…. A reasonable tldr. I was hoping for more on the manufacturing. As I understood it, the real issue with teflon was the manufacturing, and the resulting product was largely not a big deal, the molecules are too big for our body’s to do much with
tl;dr: silicone with little tiny PFAS tips. Supposedly the single molecule is safer than the long chains in Teflon.

I thought teflon being long is what made it safe. It’s the smaller molecules used in the process of making the long Teflon that are bad.
I heard teflon is delicious and nutritious
