Switch To Healthy Non Toxic Cookware - Stop Poisoning Your Food

Posted: Sep 11, 2009 |Comments: 1 | Views: 1,934 |

Most people are trying to eat healthier but don’t think about using healthy non toxic cookware in their kitchens.  So many pots and pans are made of materials that can emit toxic fumes and make us sick.  It doesn’t make sense to purchase healthy whole foods and then cook them in toxic pots and pans.  

Although stainless steel cookware has been considered a safe alternative, it does have one drawback.  Stainless steel cookware is made with a combination of stainless steel, chromium and nickel.  None of these are harmful in small doses, but many people are allergic to nickel.  If you are allergic to nickel, you should refrain from using stainless steel cookware.

Another concern that many people are not aware of is that some glazes used on crock pots have small amount of lead.  The recommendation is to use terra cotta crock pots with the lead glaze.

The best cookware which is healthy and non toxic is anodized aluminum cookware.  The process used in making the hard anodized aluminum seals the aluminum with an extremely hard surface coating which is non-reactive and prevents any aluminum from leaching into the food we are cooking.  


The following three companies have excellent hard anodized aluminum cookware sets that are healthy and non toxic:

Calphalon is the leading manufacturer but many other companies are now producing cookware sets made with the hard anodized aluminum.  This cookware cooks evenly on lower heat and is stick-resistant.  They have stainless steel handles which will stay cool during stovetop cooking.  The pans and lids can be used in the oven and broiler.  


Cuisinart has introduced a line of non-stick cookware called Cuisinart Green Gourmet Hard Anodized Cookware.  They work just like the Teflon cookware, except they don’t emit any of the toxic fumes that Teflon pans do.  Just like the Teflon pans, they allow you to cook with less oil and they are also energy efficient and eco-friendly.  This Green Gourmet cookware set is oven and broiler safe.

KitchenAid has their own set of non-stick anodized aluminum cookware called  KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials.  This cookware set features stainless steel handles coated with silicone grips.  The lids are break resistant glass which makes it nice to see what you are cooking.  These pots and pans are oven safe up to 400 degrees.

I personally use the Kitchen Aid Gourmet Essentials cookware set in my kitchen.  I found it to be the best value of all the hard anodized aluminum cookware.  All three of the above manufacturers sets are of excellent quality and are healthy non toxic cookware.
