Amazingly, I have finally found a solid non-stick cookware that is not Teflon or contain any harmful chemicals. Gastrolux is a German company that has manufactured their products for over 20 years. I have tried every type of cookware, cast iron, stainless, copper, aluminum, you name it. Some have better qualities than others, but in general, the best feature is Non-Stick. We all hate cleaning up, but still wat the ability to sear, brown, glaze, and then not spend an hour scrubbing the pans. After much research, and trying many different products, I have selected Gastrolux to be the only cookware that stands up to my expectations. It is a cast aluminum product with a thick 8mm base so there are never any cold spots. It has an ovenproof handle to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and best of all, a non-stick surface that has no chemicals. They call it Biotan, which is an all natural composition of bio-minerals that are injected into the surface at high temperatures. It makes for a superior non-stick surface that is very durable. Also, a unique base design that supports flat or glass top stoves. I find that when cooking, I save energy because it holds the heat, uses little or no oil to cook with, and cleans up in a breeze. I bought this a while back, and have recently upgraded all my cookware to the Gastrolux line and threw out everything else. They are not well known in North America, however I found a distributor at www.activeconcepts.ca that will ship anywhere in the USA and Canada. The products are somewhat expensive, but I have spent thousands in the past, and have no worries about this standing up. Given the rising issue of diabetes, we all need to eat healthier as we get older, and use less oils and fats for cooking. Without a non-stick product, this cannot be achieved easily. The fears with Teflon coming off are eliminated, and there are no worries about overheating. Why has it taken so long for someone to finally make a non-stick product that is non-toxic so we can all eat healthier?
