Non-stick cooking with Stainless Steal 🍳

Want Non-Toxic Cookware That Won’t Disrupt Your Hormones or Cause Cancer, but Your Food Keeps Sticking to the Pan? Here’s What to Do!✨

Cooking with non-toxic cookware can be a game changer for your health, but it can be frustrating when your food sticks to the pan. Follow these simple tips to ensure your meals cook perfectly every time!

1. Preheat the Pan 🔥

Before you start cooking, make sure to preheat your pan for a few minutes. This helps create a non-stick surface naturally.

2. Test the Temperature 🌊

Check if the pan is sizzling! Drop a small amount of water onto the pan. If the water starts to sizzle and dance around, you’re ready to cook!

3. Add Your Fat of Choice 🧈

Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat slightly, then add your chosen fat. Options include:

• Grass-fed butter

• Beef fat

• Lard

• Any other fat that is solid at room temperature

Avoid margarine and plant-based butters! 

These options can contain harmful additives. Additionally, steer clear of oils (especially seed or vegetable oils), as heating them can create unstable compounds that lead to inflammation in your body ⚠️.

See my post on seed oils for more information!

4. Add Your Food and Enjoy! 🍽️

Now it’s time to add your food! Cook it to your liking and enjoy a delicious, health-conscious meal that’s free from harmful chemicals. Bon appétit! 😊

Extra Tip: 😄

If your pan develops black stains around the edges, don’t let it frustrate you—there’s a simple solution!

Baking soda is the most cost-effective AND non-toxic way to clean your stainless steel cookware. Here’s how:

How to Clean Your Stainless Steel Pan:

1. Sprinkle baking soda generously to cover the bottom of the pan.

2. Boil a kettle of water.

3. Carefully pour the boiling water over the baking soda until it reaches a quarter of the way up the pan.

4. Turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil.

5. For stubborn stains, add a few tablespoons of white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar before the water boils.

6. Let the water boil for about 10 minutes to loosen any grime.

7. Turn off the heat and allow the water to cool enough to handle safely.

8. Rinse the pan and wipe away stains with a sponge.

9. Wash normally with dish soap and a sponge to remove any lingering odours.

You can also sprinkle baking soda, squeeze lemon juice over it, and give it a scrub for a natural cleaning boost for any really tough marks.

With this simple method, your stainless steel pans will shine like new in no time!
