WHAT ARE THE SAFEST COOKWARE TO
USE IN THE KITCHEN?
You probably own a piece of toxic, non-stick cookware or Teflon in your kitchen right now while reading
this. There is no shame in that because these days, regular non stick pans are everywhere and they can be
pretty cheap, which makes them automatically attractive in the eyes of a busy homemaker or a newbie
cook.
However, it’s important to know that these cheap, non stick pans that are constantly on sale are not the
healthiest and they can cause potential damage to your health. In fact, according to Environmental
Working Group, “when you breathe kitchen air polluted with fumes from overheated Teflon, you're at
risk for developing flu-like symptoms (yes, "Teflon flu").”
If ‘Teflon flu’ sounds terrifying enough to you, making yourself aware of the different types of cookware
that are totally safe is the first step in making better choices.
1. STAINLESS STEEL
One of the oldest cookware available to us is stainless steel and they remain a popular choice
because of a few good reasons. Professional chefs agree that stainless steel browns foods better
compared to non stick pans. With the proper care, stainless steel will last you a long time and
feel assured that the chemical composition will not alter in high temperatures.
2. GLASSWARE
Another non toxic alternative are cooking surfaces that are made of glass. However, glass is not
as flexible as metal bakeware because not every dish cooks well on glass containers. Baking tins,
for example, can’t be replaced by glass. However, glass cookware works well with savory dishes
such as pot pies, baked pasta, and simple breads.
3. CERAMIC
Made from organic material, ceramic is one of the top choices among eco-friendly cooks out
there. It heats well and it’s completely non toxic, given that you buy the good ones with durable
coating. Not to mention that they are very stylish on display. For beautiful ceramic bakeware and
cutlery, the Maxwell and Williams brand makes high quality sets.

4. CAST IRON
A lot of people call it “natural non stick”. It’s oven-safe unlike most Teflon pans and it can be
pre-heated to high temperatures that will brown meat just like regular non stick does. Definitely
one of the best non stick alternatives available in the market.
These alternatives are probably not as budget-friendly as your old non stick pan that’s why it’s
ideal to plan your switch. Buying safer cookware one by one and keeping an eye out on
discounts is so much easier than completely eliminating what you have an buying a new set all at
once. Call us now at (02) 8814 6016 to learn more about safe and durable non stick alternatives.
