Non-stick cookware coated with PTFE (Teflon) or other PFAS compounds releases toxic particles and gases when overheated or scratched. These 'forever chemicals' accumulate in the body and have been linked to thyroid disease, cancer, and immune dysfunction. Every meal cooked in a scratched non-stick pan is a potential exposure event.
Why We Rated It This Way
The Instant Pot's stainless steel inner pot is safe, but the plastic components (lid, housing) are exposed to high heat and pressure. The silicone sealing ring is safer than rubber alternatives. Overall, a reasonable choice if you use the stainless insert and replace the sealing ring regularly.
