Ozeri Stone Earth 5.3 Qt. Aluminum Ceramic Nonstick All-In-One Sauce Pan in Warm Alabaster

Utilizing a custom-formulated stone-derived coating from Germany, the 5 L (5.3 Quart) All-In-One Stone Earth Sauce Pan by Ozeri reigns with its ability to deliver non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of toxic substances such as APEO, GenX, PFBS, PFOS, PFOA, and the lesser known NMP and NEP. According to the FDA, many of these chemicals constitute a class of compounds that have found their way into the food chain. Although the harmful PFOA and PFOS acids are being phased out of production, non-stick coatings today are often made with the aid of a new generation of fluoropolymers, known as GenX fluorinated chemicals and PFBS, which the EPA has cited as suggestive of cancer and when consumed, may affect the kidneys, blood, immune system, liver and developing fetuses. Also of concern are APEO chemicals, which are restricted in Germany due to potential toxicity. By not using these 'forever chemicals,' the Stone Earth Sauce Pan stands ahead of the curve, achieving the highest marks for food safety and environmental health. The coating is applied using a water-based technique that is also free of the potentially harmful chemicals NMP and NEP. The Stone Earth Sauce Pan is made of a heavy-gauge aluminum core that allows for quick and even cooking without hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for use on induction stoves, a heat-resistant silicone-coated handle, and a tempered glass lid. Coating by Weilburger GmbH, Germany. Pan made in China.
