It's a hot debate in kitchens nationwide:

全美的廚房裡，正上演著一場激烈的辯論：

They call them nonstick pans, and yet there's nothing nonstick about it when it comes to your health.

他們稱它為不沾鍋，但對健康而言，一點也沒有「不沾」。

I'm slowly trying to switch over to all stainless steel.

我正在慢慢改用全不鏽鋼鍋具。

There are still ways to use your Teflon pan safely.

其實還是有安全使用鐵氟龍鍋的方法。

The sizzling battle coming as California Governor Gavin Newsom

這場沸騰中的爭論正值加州州長紐森

weighs signing a bill that would ban the sale of nonstick cookware using chemicals linked to some serious health issues.

考慮是否簽署一項法案，禁止販售含與嚴重健康問題相關化學物質的不沾鍋具。

But now, some big celebrity chefs like Rachael Ray, David Chang and Marcus Samuelsson are weighing in,

如今，一些名廚如 Rachel Ray、David Chang 和 Marcus Samuelsson 也加入戰局，

defending the sale of cookware using the chemicals.

為含這些化學物質的鍋具辯護。

Ray, who sells her own line of nonstick pots and pans, writing the chemicals,

販售自家不沾鍋品牌的 Ray 表示，

"when manufactured and used responsibly, are proven to be safe and effective."

「只要製造與使用得當，這些化學物質是安全且有效的。」

Many other chefs disagree, saying there are better and safer alternatives.

但許多其他主廚並不同意，認為有更好、更安全的替代方案。

Why not just do a carbon steel, a stainless steel that doesn't include nickel, a cast iron pan?

為什麼不改用碳鋼鍋、不含鎳的不鏽鋼鍋，或鑄鐵鍋呢？

Award-winning chef Andrew Zimmern supports the California legislation,

得獎名廚 Andrew Zimmern 支持加州這項立法，

arguing that any forever chemicals belong out of the kitchen.

他認為「永久化學物質」應該被逐出廚房。

A little preheating, a little bit of butter or oil and a little bit of wrist

只要先預熱、加點奶油或油、再動動手腕，

and you will be making delicious food for your family

你一樣能為家人做出美味料理，

without worrying about anyone getting cancer years down the road.

而不用擔心幾年後有人因此罹癌。

If signed into law, the California legislation would ban the sale of the debate in nonstick cookware by 2030,

若這項法案通過，加州將自 2030 年起禁止販售含爭議化學物的不沾鍋具，

a ban that would also include certain cleaning products, food packaging,

同時也將禁止某些清潔用品、食品包裝、

and even dental floss using the class of chemicals known as PFAS.

甚至含 PFAS 化學物的牙線產品。

The proposed law alleges that pfas are a significant threat to the environment and public health.

法案指出，PFAS 對環境與公共健康造成嚴重威脅。

Some experts have found that forever chemical PFAS barely degrades in nature,

一些專家發現，這類「永久化學物」在自然界幾乎不會分解，

and that could also be the case inside the human body.

It's carbon and fluoride that are really tightly bond together,

它是碳與氟強力結合的化合物，

which works really great for things like nonstick water repellent.

這讓它在製造防水或不沾材料時表現極佳。

But it also means because it's so tightly bonded is when it ends up into the environment,

但正因為結合太緊密，一旦進入環境中，

Nonstick pots and pans often use Teflon, a brand of a specific type of PFAS chemical,

不沾鍋常使用鐵氟龍，這是一種 PFAS 化學物的品牌，

and they've been staples in American kitchens for decades.

數十年來都是美國廚房的主流。

The FDA, which currently authorizes the use of PFAS on cookware,

目前 FDA 允許在鍋具上使用 PFAS，

says the PFAS in the coating can end up in your food, but only in negligible amounts.

他們表示雖然這些塗層的 PFAS 可能進入食物，但量非常微小。

The Cookware Sustainability Alliance, representing a number of cookware manufacturers,

代表多家鍋具製造商的「鍋具永續聯盟」則認為，

To penalize individual products which are coated with materials that have been shown to be safe for decades,

懲罰使用數十年被證明安全的塗層產品，

As the debate hits a boiling point, Zimmern says he's sticking with steel and cast iron.

隨著爭論越演越烈，Zimmern 表示他仍堅持用鋼鍋與鑄鐵鍋。

These pans that do not use Teflon or similar coatings,

這些不含鐵氟龍或類似塗層的鍋具，

And there are ones that are just as inexpensive.

And by the way, many supporters of a ban say the environmental impact is another concern.

此外，支持禁令的人還指出環境影響是另一個隱憂。

They argue that the chemicals lead to pollution in our rivers and streams.

他們認為這些化學物會污染河流與溪水。

And it's also, guys, an issue for people that just want to get rid of their nonstick pots and pans

對於想丟掉舊不粘鍋的人來說，也是一個問題，

because they can't be recycled otherwise.

They might end up back in the water supply.

So actually the advice is to landfill them because they can't be recycled.

所以實際上的建議是，最好直接掩埋，因為無法回收。

So as all of this plays out, folks who are watching or listening right now,

is there anything that they could do at home to keep themselves safe?

在家裡有什麼能保護自己安全的方法嗎？

Yeah, well, I think the natural question is if they, if they do have a nonstick pot or pan,

對，很多人自然會問，如果家裡有不沾鍋，

like what is the issue and at what use would it become a problem?

它的問題是什麼？在什麼情況下會造成風險？

And even the makers of Teflon themselves say just don't preheat on high without anything in the pan.

就連鐵氟龍的製造商都說：千萬別空鍋開大火預熱。

As well as don't use temperatures higher than 500 degrees,

同時也不要使用超過 500°F（約260°C）的高溫。

which most people wouldn't be cooking at that temperature anyway.

不過大多數人平常也不會那麼高溫烹飪。

But it is interesting that the makers of Teflon do say

you should try to make sure that you're using it properly to avoid any sort of possible contamination.

使用時應確保正確方式，以避免任何潛在污染風險。

Do not preheat. I always preheat. - So do I.

不要預熱空鍋。我每次都預熱。 - 我也是。

I'm not known for my acumen in the kitchen, but okay, thank you.

我在廚房並不算高手，不過好吧，受教了。
