FAQs:
There are several benefits to not using this toxic paint-like substance to coat our cookware. Here are a few: Glazing blocks micro-pores and prevents the pots ability to breathe. A breathable pot is capable of so much more; for instance, it can make your yogurt naturally thicker, let rice cook fluffier & softer (not sticky), cook without using oil (can’t cook without oil or grease on glazed cookware), and extract toxins from food.
Also, they’re much easier to clean without the glaze on the walls: a seasoned, breathable pot repels food from sticking. Glaze is toxic, and it doesn’t make sense to coat a 100% pure & non-toxic raw material, used for cooking with a toxic & potentially dangerous substance that’s neither time-tested nor proven to be safe. Glazing also creates toxic waste &: it generates toxic fumes during firing that clearly would disqualify our product from being 100% non-toxic and safe!
