The slow cooker is a convenient and modern household appliance. She saves the time the hostess in the kitchen, it is possible to cook a variety of dishes, and especially convenient - diet. Cooked with less butter, not fried, but stews are certainly helpful. Why there are questions about the dangers of multicooker health?
The only thing that can cause doubts about the usefulness of the multicooker is the Teflon-coated bowl with which most of these devices are completed.

Disputes about the safety of Teflon have been going on for a long time, including in scientific circles. Unambiguous data on the safety / danger of Teflon today is not - the question remains open. However, this material is widely used throughout the world in the production of kitchenware.
"Teflon" is a trademark of the American company DuPont. In Russia, the technical name of Teflon - Teflon.
According to GOST 10007-80, Teflon (Teflon) becomes dangerous when heated to high temperatures (above 260 degrees). In this case, the polymer is decomposed into volatile substances harmful to humans. And the release of toxic substances in quantities hazardous to humans begins at temperatures above 450 ° C.
However, bowls in a slow cooker to temperatures that are dangerous to Teflon, never heat up.
Such a temperature at home is generally almost impossible to achieve. The only way is to forget on the stove for a long time a dry griddle without water or oil. In this case, the dishes can heat up to a dangerous temperature.
Interestingly, Teflon is everywhere today: in clothes, dishes, household appliances, cosmetics, construction ...
So talk about the fact that in the slow cooker is harmful to health, the facts are not confirmed.
But if you still want to eliminate even the slightest risk - choose a multicooker with a ceramic-coated bowl. Such models are now in the line of almost all manufacturers, and such multicookers are no more expensive than models with a teflon-coated bowl.
In conclusion, I would like to add that in a slow cooker food is cooked faster than on the stove - which means that more nutrients are stored in it. And this is another plus in favor of this device.
