Hey Friends!
I was recently on the hunt for some new pots and pans because my current non-stick pans started pitting. There were little chips on the bottom of each pan which rendered the non-stick feature of the pan useless. It was incredibly frustrating to have to scrub out my pans when the food should have simply slid right off. I also had a hunch that pitted cookware probably wasn’t healthy for the body.
I am a researcher. Google is my friend. I will not make a purchase until I have done my due diligence. I compare reviews, materials, prices, warranty, etc. If I am going to spend our hard-earned money on a product, you better believe that I am going to do my homework ahead of time. While investigating different brands of cookware, I stumbled across some shocking information regarding non-stick pots and pans.
Did you know that it only takes a little over 2 minutes for a traditional non-stick pan on high heat to exceed 500°F and begin releasing ‘forever chemicals’? And, are you aware that research shows that these ‘forever chemicals’ take decades or longer to leave the body and they never break down in the environment? Yikes.
Most non-stick cookware is made using the chemical “perfluorooctanoic acid” or “PFOA”. This specific chemical has been shown to cause health problems. It can disrupt the immune and endocrine systems, has been linked to causing organ tumors in lab rats, and has been associated with liver problems. Double yikes.
I am a huge believer that when you know better, you do better.
I have spent time researching the harmful effects that chemicals can have when they are heated and decided that I could not, in good conscience, continue using that type of cookware for my family. So, I went on the hunt for an alternative cookware and that is when I stumbled upon Caraway [HERE].
Caraway is a brand and product that I stand behind 100%. They use a mineral-based coating that won’t leach toxic materials into your clean & healthy ingredients. Caraway products are made of high quality ceramic-coated aluminum that is free of PFOA, lead, cadmium, and other toxic materials that can sneak their way into your food.
Not only are they better for you, they look amazing! I have the Perracotta (pink + terracotta) color but all of the colors are amazing!
They come with a magnetic organizer as well as a lid organizer if you prefer to not store the lids on top of the pans! I have a special cabinet designed to hold my pots and pans but I did use the magnetic organizers to hold my cutting boards instead!
After spending time creating meals for my family, the last thing I want to do is spend time scrubbing my pans when it is time to clean up. I have NEVER had to scrub these pans, not even a little bit! I simply use warm water and a dish cloth (and a little soap) and the food simply slides off. That is a major win!
Needless to day, I am a huge believer in this product! Their tagline “cookware as clean as your ingredients” really speaks to me! If you are on the hunt for some new cookware or you are wanting to make healthier choices for your family, look no further than Caraway! I promise you won’t regret it!
