utensil

Never use metal utensils, which can nick the coating.

Secondly, ensure that the utensils and the surface area you’re using to prepare the food are sanitary.

Very little of the world’s plastic waste — about half of which comes from single-use plastics such as packaging, straws and disposable utensils — is recycled.

And all three of my children’s educational institutions have reusable plates and cutlery for every meal provided, without any single-use utensils.

Cooking with any plastic utensil has long been seen as worrisome because heat can cause chemicals in the plastic to migrate into the food you’re about to eat.
