Sautéing & Stir Frying is a lot better and healthier when done with MEC pots and pans. One of the biggest issues with doing this kind of cooking with conventional pots is — the food sticks to the bottom, burns and is lost while cooking. Some might think the non-stick pans are good options but they have even more serious issues — the coatings that make them non-stick are full of chemicals and toxins that contaminate food and render unhealthy. How is Sautéing & Stir Frying Different with MEC? When cooking such recipes in MEC, the material being naturally non-stick after seasoning (used for cooking a few times) and 100% non-toxic, the food doesn’t stick and there are no contaminants. Also, less water is needed because of gentle heat from pure-clay. Thus steam is not gushing out of the pot while cooking (steam is water-soluble nutrients) and MEC’s excellent steam management makes sure the steam stays within the pot and settles right back into the food instead of escaping thr

Sauteing & Stir Frying is a lot better and healthier when done with MEC pots and pans. One of the biggest issues with this kind of cooking in conventional pots/pans is — the food sticks to the bottom, burns and a lot is lost to the burnt food. AND it also adds a burnt taste to the food. Some might think the non-stick pans and other coated or enameled cookware are good options for this reasons, but they have even more serious issues — the coatings that makes them “non-stick” is full of chemicals and toxins that contaminate food and render it unhealthy. Just  one  of these chemicals are a group called  perfluoroalkyl substances.   These are found in different proportions is all the coating materials for their apparent oil and water-repellent properties. These chemicals are also known for their disruption in the hormone producing organs, immune dysfunction, high cholesterol and even various forms of cancer.

Here are 5 healthy and delicious braising recipes for cooking in your MEC Pure Clay Pot. As you are taking all the steps needed to cook an extremely healthy and nutritious recipe, it is important to keep these things in mind: Avoid unhealthy canned ingredients like chicken broth as the dish will still be very flavorful when cooked in MEC pots. They cook with gentle heat that keeps the nutritional value and the natural flavor of your food intact. If your recipe demands, use homemade chicken broth or vegetable broth.

Use sea salt (has many trace minerals), raw sugar like “Jaggery”, and good minimally processed cooking oil like coconut oil, sesame seed oil, or olive oil.  Avoid vegetable oil or corn oil and the likes. The MEC difference: Besides your food being fully non-toxic (no metals and chemicals interacting and leaching in to the food), and more nutritious (the heat cooking the food is differ

A pressure cooker basically works by locking steam inside and cooking food with steam pressure. Before the pot is opened, however, all this steam needs to release… The food cooks quickly so it saves time, which is why this cooking method is popular. When it comes to choosing the best pressure cooker, it is important to choose an all-natural, non-toxic and healthy one because the  conventional ones  have certain issues that make them really unhealthy: Choosing the best pressure cooker: Let it be non-metal A conventional pressure cooker pot is typically made from metal which is a huge setback if you are hoping to cook healthy. All metals are reactive – they leach, react and get into food at cooking temperatures.  These metal ions are toxins that enter your gut system and accumulate in tissues, organs, and blood. They form the foundation for many diseases, hormonal imbalance, and a compromised immune system.   Choosing the best pressure cooker: Let it  condense steam naturally Wi
