If you’re replacing your nonstick Teflon cookware for safer alternatives -- Teflon chemicals like PFOA and PTFE have been found in the blood of newborns and polar bears -- think about repurposing the pricey plants first. If you have Teflon-coated pans, it might be worth the investment to have them sandblasted. Local furniture businesses can use gentle walnut shell abrasives to sandblast the Teflon right off, leaving you with professional-grade stainless steel cookware. It costs about $100 to do a whole set, and it’s fairly fast and clean.
