SuperBowl Sunday Recipes

Superbowl Sunday is THIS WEEKEND!!! 🍗 🏈 🍔 Known for delicious party food, funny commercials... and a good halftime show... and then maybe a football game😉 The Danger is that most of the Superbowl party food is served in Crockpots. 😳
Are crockpots really that toxic? YES! Crockpots can be toxic because they leach toxic materials into food while cooking. These materials can include lead, aluminum, and chemicals from nonstick coatings. 
  
Materials that can be toxic in crockpots are: 
🚫Aluminum: Can cause renal and hepatic failure, and dementia
🚫Stainless steel: Can contain nickel, which can cause kidney dysfunction, muscle tremors, and oral cancer
🚫Ceramic: Can be made from impure clay and treated with toxic chemicals
🚫 Nonstick coatings: Can contain PTFE and PFOA, which are toxic
  
Factors that can increase the risk of toxic leaching are: 
♨️Temperature: The higher the temperature, the more lead is released from ceramic vessels
⏰ Time: Longer cooking times can cause more lead to be released
🍅Acidity: Acidic ingredients like vinegar, tomatoes, or citrus can cause more lead to be released. 
  
So what can you do to reduce the risk of toxic leaching?
✅Buy a non-toxic slow cooker. You can Shop nontoxic Slow Cookers HERE
✅Inspect the entire cooking unit, including the metal casing
✅ Avoid reheating food in a slow cooker
✖️And NEVER use plastic liners in crockpots as they also leach toxic chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and POPs into food❗
