Welcome to Healthy Home: This is the moment to double down on making your home as healthy as possible, whether it's finding nontoxic cookware, trying out new natural cleaning methods, or turning your space into a fitness and wellness zone.
When it comes to cooking, there are those things that take you from everyday gourmet to a culinary superstar, like the cult-favorite butcher block or the cooktop that heats things quickly and evenly. And then there's cookware, the main attraction of any gastronomic experience. If you want your dishes to turn out the way you envision, you'll need to consider swapping out kitchenware that's seen better days with gorgeous new ceramic nonstick alternatives.
Surprisingly, ceramic nonstick cookware is not ceramic. It looks like ceramic — that's how it got its name — but it's actually metal with a coating made of sand that uses silicon to prevent sticking. However, these nonstick pots and pans masquerading as ceramic do have a lot of pros. They are a breeze to clean, free of harmful chemicals, plus your food will slide off with ease. And bonus: They tend to be pretty affordable.
