Given the current interest in cutting down fats and oils in cooking, there is an ever increasing demand for cookware that can be used entirely fat free.

We currently have 2 recommended cookware ranges for a fat free - or nearly fat free - cooking choice:

Gastrolux Saucepans, casseroles, stock pots and roasting pans are made from a ceramic/titanium compound which forms drops of liquid on the surface and can be used without adding oils or fats. Moreover, the non-stick surface contains no PTFE, the compound which is found in the making of traditional non- stick such as Teflon, and has been named as a carcinogen by some, when heated over 235 degrees centigrade.

Swiss Diamond pans are also promoted as fat free. Swiss Diamond has a cast aluminium base with a diamond infused non-stick surface. This is traditional non stick but Swiss Diamond assure us that none of the PTFE remains in the product. In terms of being fat free, we have a Swiss Diamond frying pan. I have found that most cooking works well fat free. However, an omelette does stick slightly, and you could choose to add a tiny bit of oil. When it does stick, it simply comes off with a wooden spoon so it is still very easy to clean.
