Of the many pot and pan options on the market today, which one do you know is actually healthy? Why is it important to choose a healthy one and what difference does it make?
A truly healthy cookware will not only not react to food, it will also be easy on the nutrients in the food. Try touching a metal pot or pan five minutes after cooking and you may burn your hands; Unfortunately, the same thing happens with food tissues: nutrients are damaged due to the strong heat generated by most conventional kitchen utensils (metal, ceramic, etc.).
On the other hand, water soluble nutrients evaporate rapidly as vapor. As a result, all healthy things disappear from food!
So there is an even bigger leaching problem. All metals (aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium etc.) and ceramics (ceramic-porcelain, stoneware finished with chemical glazes and glazes are a composition of different chemicals, oxides and metals) filter toxins into food as it cooks.
Food is a biochemical entity that consists of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates that are found in the form of oxygen, hydrogen, halogens, acids, and bases. Since cooking involves heating, it acts as a catalyst for metals to reactively leach into food. These metal ions are assimilated with food and, over time, accumulate in organs and tissues. It results in a diseased body, various diseases, and a weakened immune system.
Alkaline Baking Soda Cookware Toxicity Test
You can easily test any kitchen utensil for leaching with this simple home test:
Keep in mind that it is best to follow an alkaline diet. And in this test, baking soda which is high on the alkaline scale is used to test for leaching on cookware. If the test results are positive in this case, the pot / pan is effectively leaching the same metal and chemical ions into the food.
-
Boil 2-3 cups of water in any pot, when it starts to boil add 2 teaspoons of baking soda, boil for 5 more minutes. Turn off the stove.
-
Wait until cool enough to taste and then taste the water (take a sip). If you taste metals, that’s what you are eating! If the water has a rubber / paint taste, it is enamel / enamel chemicals.
As a control, mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda in 1 glass of water and take a sip; you will taste just the baking soda. Truly non-toxic cookware doesn’t leak anything into food.
Really healthy kitchen utensils
Pots made of pure clay make truly healthy and non-toxic cookware. They are made from certified pure clay that is not reactive in nature, so nothing leaks out during firing. Since no chemicals, enamels or enamels are used in the manufacturing process, they are 100% non-toxic. You can do the same baking soda test on them. Its unique far infrared heat is food-friendly and nutrient-free.
It’s about time you switched to pure clay pots, find the one that suits your needs and enjoy a 100% non-toxic and healthy kitchen!
