Healthy cooking

So, now that we have discussed the importance of incorporating whole foods in your diet, we need to consider what is the best type of cookware to use in your food preparation.  Spending the extra money on good quality food and then cooking those foods in teflon or aluminum cookware is counterproductive and just plain unhealthy.  So, let's talk about cookware.

How many different pots and pans have you bought over the years?  Did you know that non-stick cookware needs to be replaced at least every few years, let alone considering the fact that this type of cookware always out gases dangerous amounts of chemicals each time you use it?  Stainless steel cookware can be reactive with acid/alkaline foods and foods most definitely stick to it.  I have found cookware that is safe, non-reactive with all foods, non-stick, enamel clad and lasts a lifetime.  It is expensive to purchase.  However, when you consider how many times you've had to replace your cookware, it does pay for itself.  I'll put the link to the website on my FaceBook page.  Here is an excerpt from the website about this cookware:

 cookware features a copper plate fused into a carbon-steel core, which is then expertly layered between our durable and beautiful AA German enamel – a Chantal cookware exclusive. Copper conducts heat beautifully, and our patented copper-fused technology yields cookware that heats quickly and evenly with no hotspots. We use only the highest quality enamel, the healthiest cooking surface available. Unlike aluminum or stainless, our enamel is naturally stick resistant and will not react with acidic or alkaline foods, so all your meals can be cooked and stored safely. Copper Fusion remains bright without polishing, and will not delaminate or decline over time. Chantal cookware is safe to use with all utensils, including metal, and can go from stovetop to table, and then directly into the refrigerator or freezer. Our tempered-glass lids allow for easy monitoring of cooking, and our rivetless, stay-cool handles provide a seamless interior cooking surface. All pieces are dishwasher safe, and are perfect for all stove types, including magnetic induction.
