Hey Dante, great video… Are you at all concerned about putting your steak on a nonstick surface inside your air fryer? I have the same type of basket air fryer and I put my food on an oven safe glass plate when I use my air fryer. What’s your thoughts?
I am. This is where I am with it at the moment. The Dreo uses the newest and highest quality non-stick coating that’s been updated since all the PFOA concerns arose. Does that make it perfect, no, but neither are the options for stainless steel. I have encouraged the manufacturer to make a stainless steel option, and I will continue to do so. Until then or somebody makes a similarly functioning air fryer with stainless steel, I can’t see myself using anything else I’ve found.
@@FerrignoFreedom Thank you for your reply. Hopefully, you will help change the system!
We use the parchment paper formed air fryer liners so don't have to clean up and meat doesn't touch the metal
@@FerrignoFreedomsee my comment about the parchment paper liners, Heaven sent, zero clean up!
It's all too little, too late, I'm afraid. We are ruined.
Same sentiment here! Reverse osmosis water filtration, bamboo toothbrush with boar bristles, 100% cotton clothing, bison tallow unscented bar soap, metal straws, glass food storage, bleach free butcher paper, cast iron and ceramic plates. Can’t escape the plastic world we live in but minimizing what touches our skin and what we ingest helps. Dr Berry’s vids have been real helpful.
Greetings from Denmark!
I bought my first Glasslock containers in 2005 in the US, they were not available in Denmark. I have loved them since day 1, and still love them.
Thanks so much Dante showing how to change our habits and lives.
I am carnivore 9 years, I learned from Zero Carb Zen - Esmée la Fleur.
By the way I will very soon be 76 y.o. - no, young!
Take care, and keep doing what you are doing, it is life changing for so many people!
Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement, and thank you for watching and commenting 😎👍🏽🥩💧🧂
Great advice. Aussie Bob 😊
Great Video Dante very imformative.
Great video, Dante. With all the contaminants and toxins in our environment in can certainly be overwhelming, and tempting to just shrug our shoulders and say they can't be completely eliminated, and of course that is true. And while we shouldn't become obsessed and anxious about the situation, a rational, common sense attempt to minimize our exposures is a brilliant idea, and will give God's elegant design of the immune systems in our bodies a better chance at eliminating what remains. Balance, peace, and harmony.

I am over a year carnivore. I just replaced our scratched up nonstick cookware with steel . Feel so much better about containers. I plan on replacing plastic containers. We already have several sets of plates. Thank you for the encouragement.
I remember glass shampoo bottles! And remember when all the condiment bottles were glass?
We are actually transitioning to all glass storage containers. Love it. So much better and keeps things colder.
I’ve used glass containers with silicone tops for many years. Snapware by Pyrex is the best in my experience.The lids last forever, and they don’t stain. Love them!
Thank You for Your Sharing Knowledge ❤ PHD!!
I’m plastic free for over 5 years. RO filter in the kitchen tap so rarely buy water.
Cooking with cast iron forever. When they are properly seasoned-they are non-stick. Exception -have insta pot.
I love yardsales and auctions getting stuff for the house. I'm also getting rid of plastic stuff. I'm going to get wood bowls and plates and Mason jars and Pyrex dishes. I use a wood bowl for my salt. I also only cook with metal and wood spoons and spatulas.
Good luck, everyone & God bless.
I like the Corelle brand glass plates and bowls. They don't break easily. They aren't extremely heavy like most glass dishware is. They are sold at Walmart.
Same here. Some of mine are over 30 years old..until I drop one on my ceramic floor lol
I told my neighbor about your 3 year carnivore or Lion diet success earlier today...we'll see...keep it up Dante...great work.
😎👍🏽🥩💧🧂
Go to antique stores and buy glass and metal kitchen stuff.
Auctions are great too. 😎👍🏽
Thanks for the ideas... & ways to change.
Goodwill and salvation army are great places to hunt for vintage glass storage containers 🫙 like ball jars, etc
I often shop at Goodwill, great point! 😎👍🏽
@@FerrignoFreedom I have a lot of vintage Pyrex 😎
I see carnivores talk about getting fast food and it comes on plastic trays. Drives me nuts. I order my McD’s burger plain on the bun. Comes in cardboard and I throw the cardboard away. I keep travel utensils in my car to eat it with, made of wood and stainless steel.
Hey Dante ❤love watching your channel. You're down to Earth, easy to listen to. Thanks!
Even baby furniture, strollers, chairs, carseats.. plastic with DATE CODES!
Yes, old rusty cast iron pots and pans are dirt cheap at yard sales and clean up -no problem. They’ll
outlast all of us.
Peugeot grinders are all wood and metal and the best in the world.
Great content Dante
Steaks > Cakes
You are so right on about the plastics and the lion/carnivore diet! God Bless you!
God bless you too Mary Beth 🙏🏽💜
I switched over to glass about three years ago.
Hope you are well! Keep up the great work!
Day by day with God’s grace. Thank you for your concern, and encouragement 💜😎👍🏽
The dollar store also sells metal spatulas and other metal utensils.
Thanks for your advice.
I'm working on the same thing dude! Plastic is all over.
I started this a few years ago and have already replaced all the plastic containers in my kitchen. The only differences are I replaced the bowls with ceramic Ramekins, so they can do double duty as cookware and serving bowls. Also, I went with a wooden spatula, so I can use it in cast iron to non-stick pans. I also like stainless steel, like a stainless steel straw that will hold up without disintegrating before I finish the drink. Just this week replaced my ice cube trays with silicone. Its also easier to get the ice cubes out.
Yes, got rid of all plastic containers for food, and using glass. I have some with glass lids. Love them.
What about our Teflon air fryers? Forever chemicals they say. Crazy!
Oster has one that is safe
Great video, Dante! Also, you can get Pyrex and other glass containers at stores like Home Goods and TJ Maxx relatively inexpensively. Whole Foods sometimes has them on sale, too, usually merchandised around the spice aisle.
I know. I just don’t have much time to shop for anything. I live 20-40 minutes (or more in some cases) from any such shops and I often have to use Amazon or else just not get what I need at all.
I do appreciate the reminder though. I will be sure to browse these places when I’m near them with some time.
I am not against shopping at Goodwill stores either; I go to one in Mt. Dora whenever I am visiting family in the area and my schedule is not so demanding.
Thanks again for watching and commenting! 😎👍🏽
Yes I agree with you good idea 👏
this is a great video! I would like to also recommend glass dishes by corelle and clothing made of linen, cotton and silk (quince website is good), as well as sleeping on real cotton or linen sheets.
I’m doing that too, but it’s a hard transition all at once. My family thinks I’ve gone nuts, but then again, I never said I wasn’t nuts. 🤪
Thank you for this information Dante. Sam’s Club has nice Pyrex sets at a great price.
As usual, you are right... thank you
For spatulas, I love the Dexter Russell brand. Bought at least 3 and use them in my cast iron all the time. Love the channel!
Great information! I would also suggest that if you are replacing things for metal, try to find stainless steel or cast iron (preferably made in USA) over aluminum. It can be hard to find. I only shop for that stuff at thrift stores. It does take some time. But it is worth it! I have slowly replaced almost everything in my kitchen. My kids do still use paper plates sometimes. But, we buy the Nature's Own Green Label from Publix. They are not bleached, not coated and compostable (and very inexpensive).
I have been getting rid of plastic for a long time and I still have some. I have leaned more toward pottery, if you have a potter close by like I do it is nice.
Old fashioned pepper grinders were wood and metal, look for one of those
If you live in Florida, Publix will recycle the plastic wrappers, just wash them out and let them dry, then take them to the store. The bins are out front. No garbage though as they will just trash those bags.
I appreciate the heads up. I know your heart is in the right place, however, recycling is something I’ve researched a lot in my life.
It sounds great, but honestly recycling is a scam. In the end the process is far worse for the environment than if we’d just burned the stuff. I’m not saying that’s the solution either. It’s more a matter of realizing many of these plastics that are made to be disposable are just poison looking for a place to rot; especially the ones with all the colors and dyes in them.
The key would be to stop making them, but it’s all a part of the attempt to hide inflation by cheapening our goods to keep prices down in the presence of insane fiscal policy. That issue would also need for be tackled to bring back common sense packaging options. I could go on and on down this rabbit hole, but in the end I don’t see any solutions forthcoming to deal with all this.
Meanwhile, I’m doing what I can to reduce my use of packaged goods that use all the dyes and colorings needed for marketing by buying fresh meat, and when I can hunting my own game.
If you’re using an air fryer with a non stick coating, you’re putting a lot of bad forever chemicals in your body as well. I switched to a fully stainless steel one some time ago and I love it.
@kmc can you please recommend the brand? i got rid of my non-stick air fryer just for this reason!
@@americarocks3175 Mine is a Cuisinart brand. Not sure the exact model, but I got mine at Costco. I absolutely love it 😊
Cast iron cookware only [most of it is 75+ years already and will last hundreds more years]. Lots of mason jars and glass storage containers. I wish we could avoid plastic in food we buy, but you do what you can.
That last half sentence is the key, “you do what you can.” 😎👍🏽
When you said glass plates....It reminded me of a set I got from a great aunt. I had one explode in the microwave. Older is not always better, and glass can be tricky as far as safety.
Tell me about it. I have tile floors that would be ruthless on anything glass, but if the choice of negatives is cleaning glass off the floor and out of the microwave, or having microplastics in my kid’s testicles, I’ll deal with broken glass any day.
THERE IS NO PERFECT OPTION, there are however common sense choices.
Thanks so much for this. I’ve been trying to reduce plastics use as well. You might want to research the effects of microwaves on your food. Really not good. ❤
I have. It’s a process changing from all these convenience items we’ve come to accept as normal.
This is horrifying.
I assume you mean the revelation in the news article.
@@FerrignoFreedom oh yes! I didn't realize things had gotten that bad.
We use mostly glass containers, get at Walmarts
I wonder what is healthier stainless-steel or glass, when cooking? Actually there‘s also ceramic or porcelain cookware, but mostly for oven use. I recently bought these pricey ceramic-coated aluminium frying pans, and now I‘m just not sure (even with no scratches) what kind of chemicals are leeching into the food. All of these non-stick materials were invented in the last 50-60 yrs. And all of our biggest health issues also started increasing. Someone once said to me, ask the top chef at the best restaurants in the world, what cookware do they use - then you‘ll probably be getting the best quality.
Hey Dante, let me remind you that just a few months ago you were singing the praises of that fancy HI-TECH sous vide machine that requires using a sealed plastic bag ! So I hope you gave it away in order to reduce your consumption of MICRO-PLASTICS ! In this day and age it is IMPOSSIBLE to stop consuming micro-plastics any more than it is to stop breathing ! 😢
You don’t have to remind me. I was skeptical at the time, but willing to investigate it. I’m in the process of purging a lot of stuff from my life like that. I will make a video about that as well at some point. I’ve just been very caught up with some serious personal issues (not related to diet) so my video production has been slow lately. I also plan to revisit some videos like the one you mentioned and either remove them or reupload them with my new thoughts.
We live and we learn.
Containers? Cookery?
A castiron skillet is all u need
Fry & roast in it
Make fresh every meal, it’s that quick and super easy
I do make broth in my crockpot but that’s it
Now, to make butter or sour cream u would do well to have a few more pieces but ain’t no airfryer needed, surely. My fat crisps up beautifully in the skillet - sooooooo yummy
(I even make kefir & sauerkraut and it takes…a mason jar->that’s it!)
One more comment for foodies, Change out your regular cooking pans for carbon steel pans. That is what the really good restaurants use. Lightweight, well less than iron pans.
I have a couple of Matfer carbon steel pans, 9 1/2" and 11". They are not that expensive and have no rivets where the handle joins to the pan. Like cast iron, they have to be seasoned but once that is done and you cook with butter or oil, etc. they are effectively non-stick. I use the smaller pan for eggs and the larger pan when frying larger cuts of meat.
I discovered how heavy my vintage cast iron really is when I jammed my thumb and was one-handed for a month. I am grateful to have inherited over 100 yr old cast iron pans (2 of them). They have handles that are not riveted. One continuous piece, but they are heavy.
👍
Hey guys
Great info. My girlfriend and I are going on the same journey of removing plastics in our lives. You mentioned Teflon briefly. Can you do a video on that? Is the airfryer heating surface made of teflon?
The ChefMaker uses a newer non-stick coating than the original teflon, and it’s the highest quality (doesn’t flake apart like the cheap stuff). That’s where the big danger is with non-stick coating IMO. Nonstick coated cookware is so ubiquitous it’s hard to avoid on my budget, but I’m trying to swap out the pots and pans for cast iron or stainless. The hard part for me is I have such a hard time cooking on stainless pans, and though I see people who clean cast iron relatively easily, it’s still a process I’m not accustomed to. I’m slowly adjusting to it though. Time is my most valuable commodity these days by far, so it’s a real process of retraining my brain.
Good book: Esterogeneration.
Added to a very long list of books to read. 😎👍🏽
@FerrignoFreedom if you get a chance, Anthony (author) was recently interviewed by Dave Mac. You'd like him, he studied at Ava Maria uni in florida and loves fishing.
Unfortunately...there R poisons in almost everything. Heck, even the air we breathe. We have to pick our poisons amongst all of them and weed them out the best we can. Agree...plastics R out for me. Ok, I still have to breathe the poison air but that is a must. 😀
Agreed. We don’t have to live in a bubble to start using common sense and do the best we can.
I was gonna say stop chewing on your Bic pen...
Im in the market to get a air fryer. My microwave is over 17 years old and its time for a upgrade. I saw your video on the dreo air fryer and i am considering ordering that one. But it is coated with non stick coating instead off stainless steel. Would you be able to do a video on how you clean it properly. Thanks again for all that you do 😊
It is the newest and highest quality non-stick coating that’s been updated since all the PFOA concerns arose. Doesn’t make it perfect, but neither are the options for stainless steel. I have encouraged the manufacturer to make a stainless steel option, and I will continue to do so. Until then or somebody makes a similarly functioning air fryer with stainless steel, I can’t see myself using anything else.
Thanks for the quick response 😊
It's just a theory but i think micriwaving the plastic causes the breakdown byt uf you just use to store and not cook in it's safer. Wrap food in a dye free napkin ir paper towel before placing in the container
How are you doing on the iodine tablets?
Using drops again now, but I’ll take the tablets if I run out of drops. I do about 20 mg of drops. The liquid is good for getting the vapors into your sinus cavity from what I’ve studied. I even use a couple drops in my netty pot water when my allergies are flaring up like the do in pollen season. I still don’t use antihistamines anymore though. 😎👍🏽
what kind of knife is that?
Coolina. There’s a link on my website FerrignoFreedom.com 😎👍🏽
