Yes you really care for your family and has reached the right place. The cookware that we are using daily overloads us with poisons mixed in our food during cooking. Aluminium poisoning caused by cookware leads to paralysis, loss of memory, mental confusion. Excess iron from cookware is causing  nausea, vomiting and stomach pain What to say about carcinogenic(cancer  causing) non stick cookwares. The time has come to put a full stop on these metallic cookwares.

 

In olden days earthen pots were used for all purpose. We can't replace all the kitchenware, however we can change the cookware atleast. Our food is at maximum exposure to the metals during cooking and storing. Have you ever questioned yourself, which utensil is good for health? Which metal is good as cooking utensil?

The only correct answer is "Ceramics are the best medium for cooking."

 

Have you ever noticed a difference when cooking in clay pot. The aroma and the robust taste is unique when food is cooked in clay pot. Clay pot cooking seems to be all the rage these days. There are also reviews all over the web attesting to their superior cooking abilities. What we have discovered makes us all the more curious to try cooking in one of these pots for ourselves. Lets see some of the benefits of cooking in clay pots.

2.Clay pots are alkaline in nature. Clay will interact with acidity in the food and neutralizes the ph balance. Acidic things like tomato sauce will take on natural sweetness. Just try tea in clay cups and find the aroma and sturdy flavour, I bet you will fall in love with it.

 

3.Ceramics are made of clay and permanently hardened by heat.They are mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders and water and shaped into desired forms. Then they are fired on high temp in kiln. So they are natural and free from harmful metals. Nowadays non stick cookwares coated with teflon, aluminium and stainless steel are more widely used in kitchen. There is reaction between the food which is cooked and in case of non stick, the polymer abrades and contaminates our food. Aluminium is very reactive and we see tiny pits. Aluminium should not be used for cooking. Stainless steel contains nickel which is also not good for cooking.All these contaminations toxify our body. Instead we should use ceramic cookwares on gas tops and ovens.

 

5.When cooked in ceramic pots the reaction between food and glaze willl cause particles in parts per million to leach into food, but in this case only friendly life sustaining minerals gets added to our food and are non toxic.

 

6.Food cooks with less oil in ceramic cookwares.

 

7.Lesser heat is required in clay pots. They  save upto 30% fuel . This is because once energy is stored in the clay vessels, it does not dissipate the heat unlike metal utensils and it behaves like a heat storing vessel.

 

8. Food remains hot for longer time.

 

9.The taste is undoubtedly far better with the goodness of mother earth.

 

10.Latest research shows that far Infra Red rays are emitted when food is being cooked in these pots. This has very healing and energizing effect on food.
