Eating healthy is not just about using the right ingredients and cooking methods. It's also about choosing correct equipments for the kitchen.
Here, we tell you what are some options you should consider using so as to avoid injesting harmful substances like chemicals from some cookware materials.
1. Glass cookware
Glass will never release any toxic substances as it is durable and eco-friendly. it also does not retain any smell or flavours. This is a much safer bet in comparison with aluminium cookware which contains higher aluminium levels. These substances are known to be linked to health issues affecting the central nervous system such as Alzheimer's disease.
2. Stainless steel cookware
Relatively lightweight and resistant to scratches, stainless steel cookware is a safer alternative as compared to copper cookware. The latter releases copper — which may lead to metal poisoning if ingested in large amounts — especially when used for cooking acidic foods, or if it is not sufficiently coated.
3. Quality ceramic cookware
When choosing ceramic type cookware, make sure to go for durable options that will not chip after uses. Lead poisoning from injesting soft ceramic coating can be very dangerous and could lead to health issues. Invest in safe options such as WMF's Naturamic range, designed with nickel-free ceramic!
