Hi,
It's been a while since I was last here, I've been very busy lately and everything has been well with my birds (thankfully).
I always seem to come back to the "safety avenue" section of the forum
We're going to be moving temporarily to a new flat, next week, and we need to purchase an electric water heater. (I don't know if this is the right name* for it. People here use mostly gas to power the water heating device, but we don't feel safe using gas anymore and want to switch to electric) and the company that sells the one device we want can't "guarantee a 100%" it doesn't contain teflon, but they're almost positively sure it doesn't.
I'm not finding other alternatives and my mother is going ahead and buying it because we can't be without hot water, and she thinks the "nearly sure" answer is good enough.
Does anyone know if these things could possibly contain PTFE?
We also need to purchase a new electric oven and a ceramic hob* (this one, to me seems likely to contain PTFE). But the companies I'm sending emails to, aren't replying me and I'm panicking a little.
I'm calling them tomorrow and see what they say, as I can't wait for their replies for much longer.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might offer their advice and I apologize for my English
