Don't Eat Your Pots and Pans

When creating masterpieces it is important to have tools that will get the job done well. With so many manufacturers in the cooking industry, it is easy to get confused on the best style of cookware to invest in or purchase. The major confusion comes from each chef endorsing a different product line for many different reasons. Although these "pots and pans" may cook food sufficiently (even to a preferred taste), certain discretions are still necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle. So which are "not" the best choices?

Here are some common types that could cause harm:

· Glass Cookware – lead and cadmium are metals used to make this product
· Stainless Steel Cookware – chrome and nickel could bleed out of this product
· Cast Iron Cookware – full of carcinogenic heated oils & bacteria
· Anodized Aluminum Cookware – vegetables that are cooked in these pans produce hydroxide poison
· Enamel Cookware – composed of lead and cadmium

It is interesting to see these components that can cause such harm to our families. In making decisions on ingredients, tools and more, we try to stand clear of the obvious harms to our bodies. So what is a less harmful product to use to create meals for the family?

Surgical Stainless Steel is one of the best kind of pans to cook in. It protects against consumption of hazardous metals into food. It is more costly than many of the options mentioned above, but it is durable and more beneficial in the long run. Take the time to research and make the right choice. It is a part of a lifestyle change to utilize tools that promote good health.
