How to look for non toxic cookware?

Enjoy your kitchen experience by investing in a few high-quality cookware items – a game-changer that not only boosts productivity but also allows your creativity to flourish when trying out new recipes. When making purchases, always opt for cookware crafted from safe, non-toxic materials like carbon steel, ceramic, lava rock, porcelain enamel, or tempered glass.

Now that we’re aware of the availability of non toxic cookware alternatives on the market – ones free from harmful chemicals – it’s worth considering the investment to elevate your kitchen.

Let’s take a closer look at the potential risks associated with certain cookware materials. Teflon, for example, is a well-known brand used for its non-stick properties. According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand, the PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) involved in Teflon’s production raises questions about its carcinogenicity. Research suggests that exposure to PFOA may impact human immune system functions, potentially compromising overall well-being.

Solidteknics values go beyond the ordinary with their renowned seasoning; simply layer oil baked onto the pan, through a process called polymerization.
