Back in the day, we all believed in the miracle of Teflon. We quickly relegated our heirloom cast iron to the bottom cabinet and went to work making cheesy scrambled eggs that slid right out of the pan. But do you remember when it started to scratch and then peel? It was unsightly but we just bought another pan and carried on.

Eventually we learned it may not be safe to use and we began seeking other, safer, sources for cooking our food. There are several new options on the market. They are being made from several materials such as aluminum, ceramic, and even stone. They are coated in such a way as to mimic the non-stick benefits we used to get from Teflon without the risky chemical fumes it releases while cooking with it.

Our lives are busy and we all seek efficiency such as easy cleanup in our earth-friendly products. These new products offer both benefits and seem, currently, to be a good investment. You’ll find links to several brands and several types of cookware such as pizza pans, woks, and steamers at Eco-Friendly Cookware Pans.

It might be a good idea to purchase one item at a time and try it out before investing in a set of anything. You can put it through a rigorous test at home before ordering more. Cookware can be expensive so taking your time to get a brand you trust and like to use is important.
