Chemical & Health Analysis

1

Nylon-6 / Nylon-6,6 (cooking utensils)

A 2023 study in Science of the Total Environment found that a nylon spatula releases up to 2.3 million microplastic particles per minute when used in a hot pan above 200°C. These particles are ingested directly with food.

ABS plastic (handles)

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene contains acrylonitrile, a probable human carcinogen. Heat and mechanical stress accelerate chemical migration from utensil handles into food.
