You might be asking yourself if the concept of “healthy cookware and utensils” is legitimate or if it is just a void marketing argument.
I am here to help you make sense of that.
What is meant by healthy is cookware that is not harmful to the body. Some cookware contains endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and other toxic substances.
Healthy cookware is, therefore, one made of harmless materials.
Also, it is good to know that by “cookware and utensils”, I refer to any recipient or tool used to cook, heat, serve, keep or transform food.
I include baby bottles in that as well. Generally speaking, one must be very careful of the recipients used by newborns and children.
In addition to that, some materials might be safe in one state and dangerous in another. For example, when heated.
Very few regulations and certifications exist in the domain of cookware materials. However, it is best to choose the safest alternatives possible.
