  • yeah it is extremely frustrating how many traps there are. i think it’s because the US has a culture of thinking things are “safe until proven unsafe” instead of “unsafe until proven safe”.

    learning about the paper towels, microwave popcorn, and silicone cookware made me go nuclear on my kitchen. at this point i only let food touch glass, stainless steel, wood, or ceramic. it’s annoyingly difficult to find non-plastic versions of certain things (e.g. blenders) but after doing it once i don’t have to worry about it again for 5-10 years so it’s not too bad in that context. and i haven’t had to deal with any of the traps since then.

    my understanding is that most kinds of paper towels are not food safe, and can contain bleaching agents, formaldehyde, and other such things. i’ve yet to find a great drop in replacement for them though. so i’ve just been avoiding/altering recipes that ask for them.
