Utilizing a custom-formulated stone-derived coating from Germany, the 3.0 L (3.2 Quart) All-In-One Stone Earth Sauce Pan and Cooking Pot by Ozeri reigns with its ability to deliver non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of toxic substances such as APEO, GenX fluorinated chemicals, PFBS, PFOS, PFOA, and the lesser-known chemicals NMP and NEP. Non-stick coatings today are often made with the aid of a new generation of advanced fluoropolymers, known as GenX fluorinated chemicals and PFBS. Labelled 'forever chemicals' due to their poor degradability and tendency to accumulate in people's bodies, the EPA and FDA have cited consistent studies of people exposed to many of these compounds that suggest associations with several kinds of cancers, liver problems, low birth weight and other issues, concluding that many of these compounds are more dangerous than previously thought. By not using these chemicals, the All-In-One Stone Earth Sauce Pan and Cooking Pot's German-made coating stands ahead of the curve, achieving the highest marks for food safety and environmental health. In addition, the Stone Earth Sauce Pan uses an inert coating that is applied using a water-based Sol Gel Technique which is also free of the lesser known but potentially harmful chemicals NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and NEP (N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone). Hardened for longevity, the Stone Earth Sauce Pan and Cooking Pot is also far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. Material: Aluminum.
