Beyond Teflon: A Cookware Revolution with Mark Henry of Solidteknics

Описание: Georgia sits down with engineer and Solidteknics founder Mark Henry to explore something most of us rarely think twice about, the cookware we use every single day.

Mark shares how decades of working with chefs and metals led him to uncover the hidden story behind Teflon and synthetic nonstick coatings, from off gassing and “polymer fume fever” to the accumulating load of forever chemicals in our bodies and environment.

They talk about how we got here as consumers, the power of marketing, and why critical thinking matters more than ever when it comes to products that touch our food. Mark explains the long history of wrought iron, why seasoning is the only truly renewable non-stick surface, and how he set out to create nontoxic iron and nickel free stainless-steel pans that can be used for life and passed down as genuine family heirlooms.

This is a warm, practical and empowering chat for anyone who loves food, cares about their health, and wants their kitchen to better reflect their values.

In this interview, you’ll hear about:

🍳 Why Teflon and other synthetic non-stick coatings are so concerning for human health and the environment

🍳 What “polymer fume fever” is and why you may never have realised those fumes were the problem

🍳 How forever chemicals can undo even the most beautifully whole food diet

🍳 The history of iron cookware and why wrought iron was the gold standard for thousands of years

🍳 The difference between wrought iron, cast iron and Solidteknics nickel free stainless steel

🍳 When to choose iron pans and when stainless steel is the better option in everyday cooking

🍳 How to care for and “rescue” seasoned pans, including when someone has put them in the dishwasher

🍳 Why Mark believes a good pan can become a living heirloom, carrying skills, stories and memories through generations

🍳 A gentle reminder to apply critical thinking to the products we bring into our homes, and to “vote with our wallet” for companies that genuinely prioritise health and longevity

Solidteknics has become Georgia’s personal cookware of choice, an Australian-made range that’s completely PFAS-free, naturally non-stick, and designed to last for generations so you only ever need to buy once.

And if you’ve been thinking of switching to Solidteknics…
