Ecolution Artistry 9.5" Pan Review

Many people cook with "non-stick cookware" unknowing of the dangers that non-stick coating can cause. Some non-stick cookware is made with a known carcinogen called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which starts emitting toxic fumes that you inhale every time you cook with a non-stick pot or pan (which is every single use, since you cook over heat). At high temperatures, the coating of non-stick cookware will also break down into a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB (dictionary definition: Perfluoroisobutene, also known as 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-prop-1-ene, is a fluorocarbon alkene. It is a hydrophobic reactive gas with boiling point at 7 °C. It is a strong electrophile. PFIB is about 10 times as toxic as phosgene"), Phosgene gained popularity in WWI when it was first used. It's a noxious, colorless gas more commonly referred to as "nerve gas." 

My review team and I were lucky enough to be able to receive Ecolution Artistry 9.5" frying pans for review.  Their packaging is printed on 70% recycled materials!
