NICKEL FREE HARM FREE - NICKEL FREE Stainless Steel combines the best of stainless steel (rust-proof) and cast iron (healthy). Nickel-bearing 18/8 (Cr: Ni) or 18/10 stainless steel, being more corrosion-resistant, is commonly used for industrial purposes, BUT nickel is high up on the ATSDR list of priority toxins; nickel leaching harms health and causes allergy. Ours is food grade NICKEL FREE stainless steel (21/0): NOT ONLY sturdy & beautiful, BUT ALSO non-toxic, non-allergic & healthier. NO NON-STICK COATING NO RISK - General non-stick coating cookware releases toxic fumes when cooking; is known to cause cancer and disrupt immune system. As it becomes worn, the risk of ingesting Teflon increases drastically. Our stainless steel cookware does not apply any coating, and is free of health hazard. 3-Ply base & heat surround features allow for even heat conductivity and distribution to eliminate hot spots; thus achieve natural stick resistance without toxic PFOA and PTFE. ADDITIONAL FEATURES - 3-Ply construction in the base (one layer of pure aluminum core sandwiched between two stainless steel layers) with extra thickness (7.6MM) ensures optimal thermal absorption and transmission, thus faster cooking, better nutrition, and more energy saving - Solid riveted handles stay cool on the stovetop - Tight-fitting lid circulates heat & moisture, preserving flavors & nutrients - Compatible with gas, induction, ceramic and halogen stovetops; Oven & Dishwasher safe.
