Introducing Chef Eco-logic 100% Cookware from Beka
By admin | February 25, 2011
Poggi Bonsi is proud to introduce CHEF Ecologic ~100%~ Cookware. Beka created this unique line of pans to be 100% eco-friendly INSIDE and OUTSIDE. It is manufactured according to the most environmentally friendly production methods: no heavy metals or chemicals used. Poggi Bonsi currently carries the 8″, 9.5″, and 11″ fry pans and the 9.5″ covered saute pan.
The cookware features an eco-hardened aluminum base sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel for fast, efficient heating (at low or high temperatures), while its Bekadura Ceramica nonstick coating allows for cooking without the need for excess butter or oil, which means healthier options, effortless food release, and quick cleanup. Furthermore, its durable PFOA- and PTFE-free nonstick coating uses no heavy metals or chemicals, so no harmful gases or toxins get released into the atmosphere during the manufacturing process or while cooking.
This product carries the environmentally friendly Bekadur Ceramica coating without PFOA or PTFE. PFOA is a chemical that is used in the manufacturing process of traditional non-stick coatings. It is not present in finished cookware, so there is never a health risk for consumers, but during the manufacturing process the chemical can damage the environment and the health of factory workers. For the production of the Bekadur Ceramica coating no PFOA-chemicals are needed. It is sometimes said that if you would by accident overheat a traditional non-stick coating, PTFE-chemicals inside the coating could be released into the air. A ceramic coating does not contain PTFE.

A fry pan with a non-stick layer is best suited for preparing food that has a high protein level, such as fish or eggs. The layer will prevent the food from sticking to the bottom of the pan. High cooking temperatures can be reached with the ceramic coating, which makes it ideal for frying steaks and red meats.
Tips to prolong the life of your Chef Eco-logic 100% product:
Before first use:
1. Remove all paper and labels (the glue is easily removed using acetone or vegetable oil.
2. Clean the cookware with hot soap water, rinse well and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
3. It’s also recommended to “season” your cookware: Apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the cookware, then wipe clean with a paper towel. “Seasoning” should be done three to four times per year or after each dishwasher cycle.
Use:
1. Never allow a pan to boil dry. If a pan does boil dry, switch off the heat and do not attempt to remove the pan until it is completely cooled.
2. When deep-frying, always use a high sided pot and never fill the pot more than half full with oil. Do not use a lid and do not overheat the pan.
3. Do not allow the head source to extend beyond the base of the cookware.
4. Always lift cookware from the burner. Never drag or slide it, as this can damage the surface.
5. All handles on Beka cookware are designed to fit perfectly in your hand. For saftey reasons, an oven glove is recommended for use with the stainless steel handles.
After Use:
1. Always let cookware cool before placing in the water.
2. Although a dishwasher can be used to clean your Chef Eco-logic 100% products, hand washing is recommended to prolong the benefits of the non-stick ceramic layer.
3. Always dry your cookware carefully, paying particular attention to the rims, handle rivets and other small spaces where water may collect.
Never Use:
1. Chlorine cleansers or bleach as these could attack the stainless steel layer and damage it.
2. Steel wool or sharp objects to remove stubborn bits of food, as it will scratch the surface.
Some Advice to maintain the non-stick layer:
1. When you rub the non-stick layer with oil from time to time, the non-stick surface will last longer.
2. 2. Although the non-stick layer is ideal for high test cooking, do not overhead\t your pan! Always cook on medium heat.
3. In case something is burned, just fill the pan with water and leave to soak for a few hours.
4. Never use steel wool to clean your pan. Always use wooden or silicone utensils.
