Healthy cooking is a necessity of the moment: With people facing so many health problems and nutritional deficiencies, it is imperative to pay close attention to what you eat and how you cook it. It’s particularly challenging in the summer because cooking makes the whole kitchen and house very hot. But with pure clay pots, cooking in the summer can be as easy as any other time of year and you can continue to cook healthy for your family.

Let’s first understand healthy cooking, starting with the basics, it’s twofold:

1. Healthy ingredients

2. Healthy kitchen utensils

Choosing healthy ingredients is a great first step toward healthy cooking, and choosing a healthy cookware is just as important. Cooking your carefully chosen nutrient-dense ingredients in the wrong cookware not only destroys the delicate nutrients, but it contaminates your food with metals and chemical toxins. With this in mind, it is vitally important to choose cookware made from naturally inert and 100% non-toxic material, such as unglazed primary clay or pure clay. Here are some important reasons why healthy summer cooking is important and why pure clay pots make it so much easier and more enjoyable:

1. They don’t “cook the kitchen”

Metals and ceramics (common materials for cookware) have a tendency to heat up and cool down at the same time, so more heat is needed to cook the same foods. Also, as the pot cooks, a large part of the heat is emitted to the kitchen or living space (since the pot is constantly cooling as well). A pure crock pot, on the other hand, is an excellent heat retainer, so you don’t need too much heat to cook. Most foods can be cooked on medium or lower heat. And taking almost the same time! This amazing feature helps you cook in a pleasantly cool kitchen.

2. They complement their healthy lifestyle practices

Let’s face it: the cold keeps us indoors and all of our resolutions to exercise, get out, walk take effect only in summer. Healthy Crock Pot Cooking perfectly complements this change – you can now cook with little or no oil or fat, steam your food, and get the most out of your daily training regimen. And best of all, food tastes so much better when cooked in clay.

3. It is a good time to learn and enjoy new recipes and cook.

It’s always a great time to start something new, but summer is even better for learning and trying new recipes. It is easier to search for new healthy ingredients, fresh ingredients are more readily available. Farmers markets are a nice place to look for them. In winter, I would rather have established your tastes, ingredient sources, etc. And keep trying what you’ve learned to cook in the summer, so why not try cooking some delicious new and exotic recipes this summer?

4. They “season” much better in the summer

A pure crock pot can be seasoned at any time by following the instructions, but somehow they seem to like the heat of summer more than the cold of winter. The summer heat allows the pot to dry more quickly and completely after each cook and this allows it to season better, isn’t it great? Cleaning and cooking in a well seasoned crock pot is so easy it’s almost magical!
