We ALL need to do what you’ve been doing.
My household eliminated plastic and non-stick items. We’ve been using only cast iron and stainless steel for stovetop, glass and stainless steel for oven and mixing, glass and stainless for eating. Even the pets’ bowls are stainless steel.
Plastics and Teflon coatings are pure poison.
I agree with all of this but I want to go further. Just tossed that dishcloth that I think is plastic. Have not yet figured out replacements for my dobie scrubber or all these microfiber dusting cloths I have...suggestions welcome!
Also need to replace more of my plastic cooking tools: flip turners, etc.
Great catch on those scrubbers - I hadn’t even thought about everything I use to clean, aside from plastic-free dishwasher pods. Thanks! And ono’s suggestions are awesome!
You are welcome.
Also...use powder not pods in your dishwasher. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04
