Healthy Non Toxic Cookware - What You Need To Know

The newest line of cookware which is healthy and non toxic is anodized aluminum pots and pans.

The pots and pans are produced using a process which seals the aluminum with an extremely hard surface coating which prevents any of the aluminum from leaching into the foods as we cook.

Cooking with regular aluminum or Teflon coated cookware has been shown to cause various health problems and should be avoided. When you switch to anodized aluminum cookware, your meals will be healthier without the harmful toxins of other cookware.

The following cookware companies have recommended cookware sets that are healthy and non toxic made with hard anodized aluminum:

KitchenAid's set of non-stick anodized aluminum cookware called KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials is one of the most reasonably priced sets on the market.

Their set features stainless steel handles coated with silicone grips and break resistant glass lids. The glass lids allow you to see what you are cooking without lifting the lid. These are also oven safe for up to 400 degrees.

Calphalon is the best known manufacturer although many other companies are now producing cookware sets made with the hard anodized aluminum that are of the same quality.

Calphalon pots and pans are known for their stick resistant even cooking using lower heat They have stainless steel handles which remain cool during stove top cooking. The pans and lids can also be used in the oven and even in the broiler.

Cuisinart has a healthy line of non-stick cookware - Cuisinart Green Gourmet Hard Anodized Cookware. They cook just like the Teflon cookware do, except they don't emit any of the toxins that the Teflon pans do.

And just like the Teflon pans, you can cook with much less oil. They are very energy efficient and eco-friendly. The Green Gourmet hard anodized cookware set is oven and broiler safe.

My favorite is the T-Fal Signature Hard Anodized 12 Cookware Piece Set. I have used their cookware for years and have always been happy with the quality.

This set is very reasonably priced and will last for years. T-Fal also sells their cookware individually as well as in sets. If you are looking for a healthy non toxic cookware set, this is one to consider.
