Benefits of using eco-friendly cookware
Better for health
The chemicals in your non-stick pans leach into every meal you make and despite the lack of flavour, it’s not good for you or anyone else around. In 2019, DuPont performed a study showing Teflon off-gases toxic particulates at 446°F (230°C), approximately 3 to 5 minutes for traditional cookware to heat up to 500° Fahrenheit at low flame. With many stoves reaching 1600° F on high settings, this means we’re most likely exposing ourselves to too much danger when preparing food with these harmful materials are present inside our homes every single day.
With eco-friendly cookware options, you can have peace of mind that your food is safe from being contaminated with toxic chemicals!
Better for the environment
Sustainable cookware is better for the environment. They don’t release toxins when heated, so there’s no need to worry about toxic chemicals leaching into your food. They are also reusable, which cuts down on waste, and are often more durable than traditional cookware, so you won’t have to replace them as often. In addition, eco-friendly cookware is often made from recycled materials, so you can feel good about using products that are good for the environment.
Whether you’re looking for a new set of pots and pans or just a replacement for your old favourite, sustainable cookware is a great option.
Lasts longer than traditional cookware
Fans of eco-friendly cookware will be happy to know that not only is it better for the environment, but it also tends to be more durable than traditional cookware.
One simple reason: eco-friendly cookware is often made from natural materials like ceramic coatings etc, which are less likely to scratch or chip. In addition, eco-friendly cookware often has a natural mineral based coating, which helps to prevent sticking and makes clean up a breeze.
As an added bonus, eco-friendly cookware is often dishwasher safe, making it even easier to care for. So if you’re looking for cookware that will last, go green!
