Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The copy of Hippocrates magazine which I have just received has kept me busy all day. It has lots of good information which supports many things I have been saying all along (so, of course, I like it!!!). In one of the sections, the magazine addressed the issue of TEFLEX dehydrator sheets, in light of warnings about TEFLON. I know many people here have been concerned about using Teflex. The article states that, because Teflex sheets are not heated to a high degree, as are stovetop and microwave utensils, and ovenware, the Teflex sheets do not release toxicity, and, so, are safe. In the article, it is stated that, although Hippocrates Institute would prefer not to support the manufacture of Teflon, they have found that parchment paper does not perform as efficiently as Teflex for dehydrating requiring the use of a solid surface. I hope this will help those of you who dehydrate with any frequency. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 This has been a great concern of mine...thank you for this information. I will sleep better tonight. I do not use the dehydrator a lot but will be able to enjoy the food more knowing this.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thankyou for this info for I'm getting my dehydrator in a few days and I was woundering about this for I had read that the feflex were not to be used and I'm getting the sheets with mine so I can make crackers and other things.
