Imagine spending your hard-earned money on healthy food to prepare a nourishing meal for your family, and you find out that your cookware is leaching toxins that can harm their health. Because many people use their cookware multiple times a day, it can be a source of frequent toxin exposure and have a greater capacity to cause harm. For this reason, switching from nonstick cookware to healthier options is essential for optimum health.
For a long time, nonstick cookware has been promoted as an easier way to cook; however, convenience generally does not equate to long-term health. As more people become aware of the health concerns associated with nonstick cookware, they are switching to healthier options such as Xtrema 100% all ceramic cookware. Nonstick cookware is easy to clean, and so is Xtrema without using an unhealthy nonstick coating. Xtrema won't leech harmful chemicals into your food, is easy to clean, durable, and provides a seamless cooking experience.
Nonstick vs. Xtrema All Ceramic Cookware
Nonstick Cookware
Nonstick cookware is made with a metal base and a coating containing harmful chemicals. Most nonstick cookware is coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic plastic fluoropolymer that has been used since the 1940s. It is used in a wide variety of products, including nonstick cookware, to create a slip-resistant cooking experience. Another harmful chemical, PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid), has been used to develop PTFE in the past.
Since PFOA was so widely used, it is now a contaminant in the environment that does not break down and can still make its way into products that contain PTFE, such as nonstick cookware. Most nonstick cookware, known as Teflon, will quickly degrade with each use. When the nonstick coating is scratched, it can end up in your food which is very unhealthy to consume.
Health Concerns Associated with Nonstick Cookware
Because nonstick cookware degrades with each use, the harmful materials can easily make their way into your food. Most people want to prepare meals in their cookware, not eat their cookware. Using cookware that contains PTFE and PFOA can contribute to health issues such as endocrine disruption, reproductive health issues, prostate issues, thyroid issues, neurodevelopment issues, weight management issues, suppressed immune health, and even cancer. Switching from nonstick cookware to Xtrema 100% all ceramic cookware is an excellent way to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals and support your health.
Is Xtrema Cookware Nonstick?
Xtrema cookware does not use nonstick cooking on their cookware because it is not healthy. Using cooking oil is the safest method for creating a nonstick surface. Their cookware is designed to be non toxic and safe for the everyday home cook. When Xtrema cookware is used correctly with the right amount of healthy cooking oil, you can prepare recipes without worrying about sticking.
Durability
Nonstick cookware does not last very long. It usually lasts no longer than three years. The nonstick coating generally degrades with each use, throwing your money down the drain. Most people don't want to purchase cookware they have to replace frequently. For this reason, nonstick cookware is not durable, sustainable, or eco-friendly.
Air Quality
Clean indoor air is essential for overall wellness. Most people spend a great deal of time indoors, which can expose them to frequent toxin exposure. When traditional nonstick cookware is used on high heat, generally 500F, it can produce harmful fumes that can cause flu-like symptoms. Cookware should support your family's health and contribute to a non toxic home, not harm it.
Pro tip: It is a good idea to use the overhead fan on the stove, open the windows daily, and use an air filter when cooking. These healthy practices can minimize the number of pollutants in the air in your home.
Nonstick Cookware vs Healthy Cooking oils
Many people rely on nonstick cookware because they believe using less cooking oil is healthy. However, you might be surprised that preparing meals with healthy cooking oils can offer many health benefits. Instead of relying on nonstick cookware, use Xtrema with healthy cooking oil for a seamless cooking experience. Healthy cooking oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, grass-fed butter, and ghee are an excellent addition to a well-balanced diet. These fats help regulate hormones, insulin response, satiety, and weight management. The body needs healthy fats with every meal and snack to release the hormonal signal leptin, which is sent to the brain to indicate when we are full. Meals void of healthy fats can contribute to overeating and weight gain. The healthiest option is to avoid nonstick coatings and use oils in your cooking with all ceramic cookware.
Versatility
When using nonstick cookware, you are limited in your cooking methods. It cannot be used in the microwave, unlike Xtrema cookware. Xtrema can be used from the stovetop to the table, in the microwave, and on the barbecue, giving you more cooking options.
What About Nonstick Ceramic Cookware?
You might be surprised to know that ceramic nonstick pans are not ceramic. They are ceramic coated. There is a significant difference. Nonstick ceramic cookware is generally made from a metal core and a thin ceramic layer on top. Most ceramic coatings are made from "Sol-gel" coatings consisting of silica and other inorganic chemicals. The issue is that the coating degrades over time, especially with higher-temperature cooking. Using a metal base cookware with a ceramic coating is not your healthiest option. When the coating gets scratched, it can expose you to toxins from the base metal beneath the ceramic coating and leech into your food. The healthier choice is Xtrema 100% all ceramic cookware. Xtrema is constructed with all ceramic materials, a solid ceramic core, is non-reactive, and made without using unhealthy coatings that can chip off into food.
