Healthy cooking is one of the most frequently entered search terms in the world. Especially in January, when we can no longer see a doughnut, pastry rod, chocolate, stuffed turkey, wine and bubbly, that number skyrockets. Fortunately, there is the worldwide web where millions of articles by just as many foodies shower you with their lifestyle tips and healthy recipes. Surprisingly, articles on healthy cooking are mostly about ingredients or healthier cooking methods such as steaming instead of boiling. There is one cooking aspect that is overlooked in this process: the pan.

Oil as a natural non-stick coating

Delicious cooking is best done with a pan in which your dish does not immediately scorch the bottom. For years we used pans with a non-stick coating. By now one thing is clear: that (chemical) coating is far from healthy for you. Fortunately, a non-stick coating can also be realized in a natural way. This is the case, for example, with the Carbon Steel pans from Skottsberg. These sheet steel pans are first heat-treated to make them stronger, more scratch-resistant and rust-proof. Then the pans are burned with vegetable oil. This oil gives the pan a patina layer that has the same effect as a coating, but then completely natural, safe and therefore healthy.

The best kitchen tools are, of course, kitchen tools

Sometimes things are not as difficult as they seem. For example, nature contains all the ingredients we need to live a healthy life. Take cast iron and steel: ideal pan materials because they are strong, hard and heat-resistant. That makes for practically indestructible kitchen tools. To stay with the Carbon Steel pans from Skottsberg : they also help you prepare dishes as healthily as possible. For example, the pans heat up quickly and you need very little fat to cook meat. Sustainable, energy-saving pans that make it easy for you to prepare food as healthily as possible.

Also nice: the wooden serving boards from Skottsberg

Skottsberg as well as pans, has beautiful wooden serving boards in its range. Each board is sawn in its entirety from a single piece of durable Longan wood. Read: not glued and therefore extremely strong. The board is then rubbed with 100% pure oil from the seeds of the Tung tree. This oil makes the serving boards water-repellent and food-safe.

Good intentions made easy

In short: is more conscious and healthier living your New Year's resolution? But are you a true bon vivant at heart and are low-fat, alcohol, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie dishes not really your thing? Then make the healthy switch by cooking with natural kitchen tools. Who said good resolutions have to be hard?
