metal spatulas scrape. there's non-stick dishes to worry about.

and I thought of the sunny episode when I read your comment.

"just in case is as good a reason as any to believe in something", whether it's monkey paws, throwing salt over your shoulder, knocking on wood, etc.

At the very least, there’s about a 100% chance of microplastics getting into your food when using these things under heat. You can argue about the risks all day, but I imagine most people would want to avoid this bioaccumulation if possible.

This is my take as well. Can I avoid microplastics? No. Can I make simple household decisions that minimize my intake? Yes. Stainless pots and pans, stainless or wooden tools, stainless silverware, ceramic plates and bowls.

Yes, it takes slightly longer to clean some stuff up, but at least I'm not eating as much plastic/PTFE.
