Edit: I decided to throw it out and order a new stainless steel one that’s all one piece. Thanks for the help!
I strongly recommend NO glue and liberal use of your TRASH CAN. Then go get a cast iron frying pan and a METAL flip turner.
Do this so you do not die a horrible micro plastic PFOS death one day.
Best!
I already have cast iron pots and pans, but you make a good point. I’m going stainless steel!
At least upgrade to silicone. I’m baffled that cooking utensils even come in nylon. Options should only be metal, wood, silicone if intended to use near heat.
As far as I have seen, nylon is considered food safe and dishwasher friendly. https://weeklypellet.com/2016/06/10/the-tricky-business-of-choosing-plastic-for-food-contact-applications/
These types of plastic spatulas tend to be recycled plastic. Which…you’d usually be all like “Oh, that’s great!”
WRONG! Unfortunately it means you’re getting an unknown exposure level of forever chemicals and there’s rarely any oversight on what types of plastics are put into these. So it’s worse than just cooking with plastics. It’s cooking with an amalgam of unknown plastics that may be putting a huge amount of chemicals into your food.
I’m so glad you never go to restaurants, use plastic bags, ziplocs, or ever take food to go. It’s good to use only glass food storage. Now tell us how to afford it. If you’re over 2 years old (and I assume you are) we’re already fucked with plastics.
Instructions unclear, trash can now wedged into my dishwasher and a pipe burst behind it
News flash: Even if they do that, your body is already full of microplastics as it’s in your food. So not sure if this is going to help even one bit :)
![[Answered] What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont be toxic or come undone in a dishwasher?(lemmy.world)](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ab3cf6e1-13ef-4b5a-bbdf-7694694c2981.jpeg){kind=link}
