Both are excellent, non-toxic choices for a healthy home.
Steaming vegetables, fish, and grains inside a pot
A coating-free, highly inert steaming method. Stainless steel steamer baskets are one of the cleanest ways to cook vegetables.
Braising, soups, and oven cooking with a lighter-weight option
A PFAS-free option for those who want a lighter dutch oven. The ceramic coating is genuinely fluoropolymer-free, though not as durable as glass enamel on cast iron.
