May 16/Wilmington, Del./PRNewswire -- A growing number of U.S. consumers are taking to their kitchens to cook more frequently, and trying new and more nutritious foods, in an effort to reduce food bills and perhaps their waistlines. These findings are among the results of a recent DuPont Teflon brand “Be Cook Aware” consumer survey, conducted to understand how the past year's trends have impacted America's cooking and eating behaviors at home.
"Societal and economic shifts such as the fluctuating economy, combined with evolving national demographics and the introduction of new nutritional guidelines, are likely to have heightened people's awareness of the need to evolve eating and cooking behavior," said Christa Kaiser, global segment manager, Teflon nonstick coatings systems. "Consumers are living smarter and healthier, and having more fun in the process while seeking out resources to help them make these changes."
