Hidden Dangers of the Cookware in your Home

Why Saladmaster?

What Is Solutions Ti (316L Titanium Surgical Stainless Steel)?

This is a message from Saladmaster President Keith Peterson about how Titanium construction keeps Saladmaster at the top of the industry.

Saladmaster Solutions Ti is another step forward in positioning Saladmaster as the "Integrity" leader in our industry. Saladmaster continues to invest in technology that truly enhances performance, value, and benefits for your family.

The 436 stainless steel exterior provides the ultimate for induction and all other heat-producing technologies.

The multi-layered Thermal Core center of heat-conducting aluminum provides the maximum heating transfer possible to ensure the highest standard for even heating performance up the sides and across the bottom is met.

The most critical layer on Saladmaster is the layer that touches your food. Saladmaster uses 316Ti technology that combines 316 Stainless Steel with Titanium. We are the only cooking system to use 316Ti steel made from steel mills in the U.S. and Switzerland.

The 316Ti Titanium Stainless Steel interior and cooking methods used in Saladmaster help protect the natural texture, flavor, color, and taste of foods when cooked. This advancement provides you with peace of mind when preparing meals for your family. While using cookware that is designed steel that is the least reactive with salts, alkalis, and acids in foods, so you and your family can enjoy the natural goodness and taste of your food.

Both 316 stainless steel and titanium are used in the food processing and storage equipment industry and in the medical industry for surgical instruments and replacement implants.

HEAVY METAL TOXICITY:

Most people are aware of air pollution, water pollution, and the dangers of household chemicals. Studies are now showing that certain cookware can also be polluting our bodies. Below are just some examples of how "traditional" cookware can be hazardous to you and your family's health.

STAINLESS STEEL

There are many grades of stainless steel. Regular stainless steel cookware is made from different alloys, including scrap metal. "Most stainless steel sold in stores is of such a nature to allow chrome and nickel to bleed into the foods as the salts and acids of the food react with the pot." Dr. Shelton For cleanliness and safety reasons, your food should be cooked on only high grade surgical stainless steel

KEY COMPONENTS:

Chromium (Cr) is an essential base ingredient in forming corrosion resistance. The chromium content of 17-20% is ideal. Higher chromium content can adversely affect the mechanical properties required for foodservice cooking operations.
Nickel (Ni) increases the yield strength, toughness, and resistance to acids and corrosion (rust).
Molybdenum (Mo) is especially effective in increasing resistance to the initiation of pitting and crevice corrosion. In combination with chromium (Cr), it is very effective in stabilizing the steel against chlorides. Stress corrosion occurs if the carbon migrates to the grain boundary and is attacked by chlorides.
Carbon (C) is detrimental if it is present in a higher concentration and migrates to the grain boundaries. Stress corrosion primarily occurs at the grain boundaries and is accelerated by the presence of chlorides.

NON-STICK COATED

Can scratch, chip, and flake. "Exposure to Teflon resins at temperatures above 393ºF may produce a condition termed polymer fume fever characterized by flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, nausea, and occasional vomiting." Federal Aviation Agency Occupational Health & Safety Bulletin.

A chemical, PFOA, used to make non-stick coated pans, has been deemed by the EPA as a human carcinogen.

ALUMINUM / ANODIZED ALUMINUM

Very soft metal. The extreme chemical reaction between food and pan.

"All Vegetables cooked in Aluminum produce hydroxide poison which neutralizes digestive juices, producing stomach and gastrointestinal trouble, such as stomach ulcers and colitis." Dr. A. McGuigan's Report on Findings for the Federal Trade Comm. In Docet Case No. 540 Washington, D.C.

The sale of aluminum cookware is prohibited in Germany, France, Belgium, Gr. Britain, Switzerland, Hungary, and Brazil.

GLASS / ENAMEL COATED

Poor heat distribution. Foods stick and burn. Contains Lead & Cadmium. "Lead can cause reproductive harm and neurological harm." Prop. 65 If gas & paint is unleaded, shouldn't our cookware also be free of lead?

The fact is that all metals are toxic, and our bodies require special transport and handling mechanisms to keep them from harming us. This applies just as much to essential minerals, like iron, zinc, and chromium, as it does to non-essential metals and metalloids, like cadmium and arsenical compounds.

Heavy Metals and Cancer. Metals can, directly and indirectly, damage DNA, which means an increased risk of cancer; this is known as genotoxicity. There are also possibly nongenotoxic pathways due to irritation or immuno-toxicity. Sure enough, several metals are known to be carcinogenic.

CADMIUM

Airborne industrial contaminants, batteries, candy, ceramics, cigarettes, smoke, colas, congenital intoxication, copper refineries, copper alloys, dental alloys, drinking water, electroplating, fertilizers, food from contaminated soil, fungicides, incineration of tires/rubber / plastic, instant coffee, iron roofs, kidney, liver, marijuana, processed meat, evaporated milk, motor oil, oysters, paint, pesticides, galvanized pipes, processed foods, refined grains/flours cereals, rubber, rubber carpet backing, seafood's (cod, haddock, oyster, tuna), sewage, silver polish, smelters, soft water, solders (including in food cans), tobacco, vending machine soft drinks, tools, vapor lamps, water (city, softened, well), welding metal.
