Cat Cora Pots, Pans, Skillets To Be Eco-Friendly, Chemical Free

Cat Cora will soon unveil her line of eco-friendly and healthier collection of pots, pans and skillets.
The Iron Chef competitor who’s promoted Morningstar Farms veggie products and says she’ll often cook vegetarian for her family has revealed the set will be made from bamboo and other non-toxic materials.
“Every chef wants her own line!” she told WebMD. “It’s a new business venture. My line is different because it uses a lot of acacia wood — a renewable product that’s like bamboo. It’s eco-friendly, doesn’t expand and holds up better when washed and used. I’m also doing utensils with acacia wood and stainless steel together, which I haven’t seen been done before.”
“The line is cook-and-serve for home chefs, for entertaining or getting dinner on the table in rush. I’m also launching an eco-friendly sauté pan. It’s really amazing, chemical free, and it’s made entirely of renewable resources. It’ll last forever. It’s not Teflon; it’s not going to rust.”
We anxiously await Cora’s chemical free cookware, but in the meantime, let’s all run for cast iron. The Environmental Working Group, an organization dedicated to educating consumers on the dangers of toxins in everyday products like food, cleaners and cosmetics, has revealed that cooking in Teflon and other non-stick cookware can cause the release of toxic particles and gases linked to bird deaths and human illnesses mimicking flu symptoms.
Polly wants a cracker, not death by high heat stir fry. Be just as cautious about what you put your food on as you are about what goes into your mouth.

Cast iron is hands down the best. I used non-stick stuff for years, but a nice steak fried in a cast iron pan is on a completely different level. Besides, you can buy a top notch skillet for less than 80 dollars and it will probably outlive you. The non-stick cr*p may last 4 years if you get lucky. If you dig around a bit, you can often get a really good pan on sale. There are always some amazing offers on cast iron cookware listed on the cast iron pots website. Ok, that did it, now I’m hungry. I’m off to the kitchen to clog my arteries with some steak and eggs.
