Steer Clear of Breville Ovens

[Veganature]

I recently reached out to Breville about their air fryer smart oven that is advertised as having a non-stick interior and when asked if their oven is PTFE of PFOA free their response was due to proprietary information they cannot disclose that information. Well, IMHO that is a load of crap not to mention code for yes but we cannot tell you that. So I'd like to share that info and have them included in the Do Not Buy List, if such a list even exists.

Thanks for the info!!!

On Amazon they are very high priced. Shame on them.

That's really disappointing!

Better safe than sorry.

@Mizzely can you find out if it can be added to the page:

Household products that may contain PTFE

There are a lot of products on the market that may contain PTFE or PFOA, more commonly known as teflon. PTFE and PFOA are very dangerous to our birds. Non stick coatings and surfaces are made by many different companies and manufacturers, under many different brand names. You need to be alert...

I've seen several products which do not categorically state that they are dangerous to animals/birds but have warnings about their use. I guess my personal take is that if a product has a warning about their use or if it involves a non-stick product of any kind I would prefer NOT to use it. Would it make my life easier? Probably. But the safety and life of my fids overrides making my life easier.

Second to that is a question I've posed before. If something, anything, is considered dangerous to one form of life what indicates that it is safe for any of us? I bring to mind that canaries, a century ago now (probably) were used as a "safety alarm" if there was gas in the coal mines. Some of our companion birds in this century have died similar deaths announcing that some of the products we use are deadly.

And if they are deadly to birds how would those products not affect infants, young children, other companion creatures and us adults in the long run?

I agree w/ you whole heartedly. I just purchased all new bakeware to go w/ my new stove/oven. I threw out all my Tephlon or if good gave it to someone w/ the warning you stated above. But who listens to the crazy bird people?

My parrots may have saved part of my grandsons lungs. I said something simular to their mothers. NEVER USE A SELF CLEANING OVEN!!!!! IF IT CAN KILL MY BIRDS, WHAT IS IT DOING TO YOUR LUNGS!
