0:00.0 | Welcome to this on-air with Ella minisode, a little bite-sized boost to your day. |
0:04.4 | Always quick, always thought-provoking, and always under 10 minutes. |
0:08.3 | Let's go. |
0:10.4 | This is one of those things that I hope sends you into your kitchen and the kitchens of your loved ones, |
0:15.6 | and you go in there and you take this product and you throw it in the garbage can. |
0:19.3 | You don't donate it, you throw it in the garbage can. You don't donate it. You throw it in the |
0:21.2 | garbage can. Speaking very specifically about Teflon and other very similar nonstick pans, |

1:21.7 | birds if they're kept in the kitchen. So, sorry, that's not funny, but birds are dropping dead in kitchens where these |
1:29.5 | teflon pans are used, especially if they're used on higher heat for any period of time. |
1:35.2 | So DuPont remained insistent that Teflon was, quote, safe and inert with proper use, but it voluntarily |
1:43.9 | pledged to phase out the PFOA, one of the |
1:47.3 | nastier chemicals involved. DuPont also told consumers to, quote, use Teflon responsibly. And |
1:53.7 | it considered overheating or burning food a, quote, abusive use of the cookware. So I'm quoting all these things. I'll link to them in the show |
