The healthy tool I use in my kitchen

It's been years since I've bought conventional cooking oils like Crisco and Mazola. These oils go through an insane amount of processing with chemical solvents, steamers, neutralizers, de-waxers, bleach and deodorizers before they end up in that innocent-looking bottle in your kitchen.

I used to think those were my only options...but then I figured out healthier ways to cook at home.

The Only Cooking Oils In My Kitchen Today:

I cook with a variety of oils, depending on what I'm cooking. Only certain oils are stable when exposed to heat, so I choose those oils for sautéing and stir frying––and the others work great for cold items like salad dressing. 

I generally look for unrefined, expeller pressed organic oils. It's really important to choose organic as GMOs and hexane extraction are prohibited in organic oil production.

  • Organic Coconut Oil – Made of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that actually reduce cholesterol and obesity, unlike other saturated fats. Great for high-heat cooking up to 400°F when you get the steam-refined version.
  • Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Best used for cold applications like salad dressings, not high-heat cooking.
  • Organic Grass-fed Butter and Ghee – Good for cooking when you want that rich, buttery flavor.
  • Organic Avocado Oil – Good for high heat applications. 
  • Organic Extra-Virgin Sesame Oil – Best for low-heat sautéing or as a condiment.

And there's another option...

Use Cookware that Requires NO Butter or Oil! 

When you cook with conventional pans, you're not just adding unnecessary fats (or toxic refined seed oils!) – you're also destroying nutrients and creating a mess that's a hassle to clean.

But here's what I learned when I switched to 360 Cookware:

The cookware itself becomes your "oil."

Their surgical-grade lidded stainless steel creates a tight seal. Add just a tablespoon of water to pan, put on their lid, and it creates steam that cooks your food perfectly – without any added fats.

The result?

  • Food that's more flavorful and retains nutrients
  • Never sticks to the pan
  • Easy cleanup (just rinse with warm water)
  • No toxic free radicals from heated oils

I've been using my 360 Cookware for years, and it still looks brand new. This cookware will literally last you a lifetime.

Here's the bottom line:

You can keep cooking with toxic refined oils that are processed to death–or you can eliminate oils entirely with cookware that actually works and saves you clean-up time.

Whether you start with the 3.5 Quart Sauté Pan or invest in a full set, you'll never go back to conventional cookware.

Don't serve another meal cooked with ultra-processed oils. 

Your family deserves better.

P.S. I know stainless steel cookware can feel like a big investment, but when you break it down by cost-per-use over a lifetime, it's actually the most economical choice. Plus, you're protecting your family from the toxic chemicals found in non-stick coatings.
