Cooking would be downright impossible without dependable kitchen utensils. However, in 2024, the scientific journal Chemosphere released an alarming study that the flame retardant used in many plastic household objects—including cooking utensils—may be leaching toxic chemicals.

Better safe than sorry, after all.
