You may have been researching the wonders of waterless cookware for a while now. You might be thinking, I get the fact that waterless cookware is healthy and economical, but why should you consider throwing away your aluminum and Teflon cookware? Believe it or not, many of our customers have done just that after learning the facts and seeing the example videos on our website. Aluminum is a metal that is very active chemically and reacts to acidic and alkaline base foods by dissolving in the cooking process and can leach into your food. When you cook in aluminum, some of the metal is excreted into your food and goes into your body. What's worse is that acidic foods cause a higher level of aluminum to be excreted and can even cause a metallic taste in the food. A lot of research today shows a link between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease, and because of its properties, aluminum should not be used for cooking. Now you may be thinking, "Doesn't waterless cookware contain aluminum?" The answer to that question is yes it does, but the aluminum is encapsulated so that it will not ever come in contact with your food. The aluminum is there as a heat conductor only. Now let's look at another popular cookware type commonly called Teflon. You might be saying Ok I get aluminum is bad for me but Teflon just keeps food from sticking, what's wrong with that? If that's all it did, that would be great but unfortunately there are numerous health risks associated with Teflon especially when heated to high temperatures. It's very easy to see in your own cookware. After many uses just look at your pan and see where it has flaked off into your food. Think about it, flaking Teflon in your body cannot be good for you.
