The EU has already restricted the sale of kitchen knives, and limited the hob temperature on stoves, and the max temp of toaster or grill so that it becomes difficult to get bread with a crust with any colour or non white pastries, My new cooker takes ages to fry bacon, and it is impossible to get crispy bacon under the grill since it all complies to the new EU directives to prevent caramelisation. The kitchen is a dangerous place. Aluminium pots and pans are suspected of causing alzheimers, and non stick coatings are possibly carcinogenic, and the inside of tins are coated with BPP which is also problematic. Our cooking oils and spreadable butters can turn into transfats when whizzed up in a powerful mixer, so these are being limited in power like the vaccuum cleaners are,
Yes the Nanny State is watching and legislating all the time.
