Ceramic & Glass Cookware: A Pocket-Friendly Oven Option These common and inexpensive varieties of cookware are indispensable tools for any cook. They’re practical and time-saving—many going from stove or oven to table then to refrigerator all in the same dish. Because ceramic cookware emits a far-infrared heat (which is the most beneficial heat for cooking) it enables a full spectrum of subtle flavors to emerge. Advantages Completely inert Nonstick Energy efficient Practical– it goes from stove to table to refrigerator—saving you time and reducing clutter in your cabinets Insulates well Disadvantages Brands to Try Not suitable for range-top or broiler—oven use only Buy ceramic from a reputable company. There is a risk of lead or other contamination if purchased outside US. CorningWare Emile Henry Staub NOTE: Healing Gourmet does not recommend Pyrex as there have been issues with safety of this brand. Reports have been made that Pyrex can shatter or ―explode‖ when transferred from a hot oven to a cooler surface (like a countertop). © 2007-2011 Copyright Health-e Enterprises, LLC.

Cooking with Convection Juicier meats, faster cooking and healthier results... in less time Sounds like a cook’s dream. But with a convection oven, its reality. Here’s why. Convection ovens create a uniform temperature with internal fans that circulate hot air. Because the air transfers heat more efficiently, food cooks uniformly and in less time. And here’s the really great part. Most recipes are done in 25% less time, and are done at a lower temperature—which is optimal for preventing the fiery foursome (see p. 14-23). When using convection, you’ll need to reduce temperature by about 25 degrees and cut cooking time by 25%. Advantages Quicker cooking time Cooks consistently Lower temperature = less risk of HCAs, LOPs, AGEs & acrylamide More flavorful, juicy results—seals in moisture, doesn’t dry out foods Fat drips away—less calories and less risk of eating oxidized fats Helps maintain nutrients in your food (due to less heat and less time) Ultra energy efficient—uses 80% less energy than a standard oven Versatile—Bake, roast, grill, steam, broil, and reheat Brands to Try It’s important to note that there are a wide variety of convection ovens which range greatly in price. Here are two inexpensive ones that also include infrared heath that we love.
