Why Choose Healthy Cookware? To Avoid Toxins from Entering Your Food

There are so many choices we face everyday? Why should your cookware be one of them? Why choose healthy cookware? As you know there are numerous choices out there and all of them seem to serve the same purpose.  Right? Wrong — While on the surface they seem to be doing the same thing, looking a little deeper you will see that there are only a few that actually do it right.
Believe it or not this choice — your cooking pots and pans — has the potential to affect your food in more ways than you would have ever imagined.  To understand how important it is to choose the right ones. Let’s start with the negative effects of making the wrong choice:

Negatives of Conventional Cookware

Most conventional cookware (metals and ceramics) leach metal toxins and chemicals into food. These toxins contaminate food and accumulate in the organs and blood. When you let this continue for too long you will find yourself struggling with health issues ranging from minor illnesses to serious and complicated diseases. As we discussed earlier, these effects take a while to show up, thus you seldom doubt your cookware.
You can test this phenomenon with this simple and reliable home test:

The Alkaline Baking Soda Test:

A healthy and balanced diet contains 80% alkaline foods. If cookware leaches while boiling baking soda in water, it certainly will with food too. This is the basis of this test which is explained here: The Alkaline Baking soda home test to check cookware leaching.
If your cookware fails this test, don’t worry, here is a solution:

Why Choose Healthy Cookware?

Some might suggest you buy cookware with non-toxic coating, but this is not a viable solution. Glaze and enamel coating are chemicals and have their own side effects. It’s like taking a pill for one disease and getting another because of it.
Just by switching to unglazed primary clay cookware (or pure clay), you can stop these toxins from affecting your health once and for all. MEC’s Pure clay is a tested and certified 100% non-toxic material – a gift of nature. You heard it right, it’s not something we make artificially, it is harvested from earth’s surface. In its purest form, it has no chemicals or toxins – all you get is healthy food every time.

Positive Effects of Pure Clay

The continued use of pure clay cookware systematically helps your body cleanse itself of all toxins accumulated previously. People claim to manage diabetes without medication just by switching to this healthy alternative. Such is the positive effect of this change on your health.
Final Words
Changing to the healthiest cookware must be a priority because without it, all the efforts you make in choosing healthy ingredients are in vain! The next time you are faced with the question why choose healthy cookware, remember this is what determines the health and true value of the food you take time & effort to cook!

7 Sautéing & Stir Frying Recipes to Try With MEC

Sauteing & Stir frying is easier 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 quite a bit is lost to burnt food. Some might think the non-stick pans and other coated or enameled cookware are a good options for this reasons, but they have an even more serious issues — the coating 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 and other so called “oil and water repellent chemicals” are in all the coating materials. These chemicals are also known for their disruption in the hormone producing organs, immune dysfunction, high cholesterol and even various forms of cancer. How is Sautéing & Stir Frying Different with MEC? Food sticking or burning to the pot is a ...

Back to Basics Cooking, Baking & Grilling

keeping your area clean while you cook is a chore in its self. My husband always laughs about the after math when I'm done baking. Here are some helpful ways to improve on making less of a mess in the first place. Use a bowl for your scraps and garbage as you go saving you time running to the trash making you more efficient. Using a thin flexible mat for your cutting board makes transferring vegetables to your pot much easier, by using the flexible mat as a funnel. Getting into the habit of using a splatter screen when sauteing or shallow frying will save you a lot of time on your clean-up later. Measuring ingredients and using cooking spray over the sink will keep messes confined to an easy to clean area. Keeping a bottle of soapy water handy make it more likely that cleaning up as you go will become part of your cooking habits. Another tip is to cook more slowly. Be a deliberate in measuring, chopping and wiping between each step. but this is one tip I often don't follow m...

Grilling Fresh Vegetables: 5 Tips Every Griller Should Know

When it comes to grilling, cooking fresh produce is different compared to cooking meat. One is quicker cooking time. Most vegetables have water content so when cooked on the grill, most of it will evaporate. As a result, the sugars become more condensed and the flavour becomes more concentrated, their natural flavour is enhanced. Enjoy a healthy snack or side dish - remember these helpful tips when grilling fresh vegetables! Wash veggies thoroughly Vegetables should be washed thoroughly before cooking. After washing, pat them dry with paper towels. Brush veggies with melted butter or oil or use non-stick cooking spray to prevent them from sticking to the grates. Make sure they are dry before brushing with oil - otherwise the oil won't stick. Cut them right To achieve perfectly-grilled vegetables, cut or slice them in uniform sizes - not too small that they'll fall through the grill grates but not too large to prevent longer cooking time. Use skewers if you prefer cooki...
