I’m no fan of non-stick cookware. At high temperatures the non-stick coating can release toxic chemicals into the air and inhaled into your body. Once in your body, these chemicals can bond to your cells and can do one of two things. The first possibility is turning you into a superhero know as Non-Stickulous. Your super power would be the ability to slide around on your butt knocking over criminals like bowling pins. What a cool power. Ask yourself–Would you rather be Spider-Man or Non-Stickulous? I think the choice is obvious.
Or the other thing that could happen if the chemicals get into your body is that you keel over dead. Like a goldfish left at home alone during your family’s 10 day vacation to Disney World. I’m talking all dead, not just mostly dead. Yes, the dangers of non-stick cookware is that serious. Now I don’t have any conclusive proof of this. And I don’t personally know anybody that has gained super powers or has died from non-stick cookware, but I think that is due to a U.S. Government cover up.
So, with this in mind – there is a better way to cook meals without resorting to non-stick cookware or worrying about using regular (non-non-stick) cookware and risking the burned on mess that an unattended stew, chowder, or sauce can turn into.
The Pauli Cookware stock pot has a patent pending 7-layer bottom that alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum around a sealed oil chamber creating a non-stick surface without any chemicals touching your food. Even if both of your arms were broken from a freak letter opening accident and you were unable to stir your famous clam chowder, it wouldn’t burn. Heck, it couldn’t burn even if your clam chowder decided it wanted to burn. This pot is that crazy.
Here’s a touching testimonial from a satisfied Pauli Pot user…
I was cooking spaghetti sauce one night when I got an unexpected knock at the door. It was the FBI. To make a long story short, after doing 24 months of hard time at Sing Sing prison I came back home and my spaghetti sauce was still simmering away…without burning. Even after 2 years! Amazing! Thank you Pauli Pot!

We’ve actually switched to cast iron for most of our cooking. A few Lodge skillets of various sizes and two Le Creuset enameled french ovens (picked up at great prices at TJ Maxx!) meet all of our needs. The skillets work great outside on the gas grill to! We did this in response to the studies that show ALL of us have Teflon floating through our bodies from non-stick cookware, pizza boxes, microwave popcorn bags, etc., etc., etc.
I am the owner of Pauli Cookware! This product is NOT Teflon or any other non-stick.
The pot has two bottoms with a oil core, for the best heat distribution of any cookware.
I accidentally set my non-stick pan on a burner with nothing in the pan itself. It melted the non-stick part down to the metal so that it is now down to the silver metal. I am a little bit worried, but apparently I am going to be turning into Non-Stickulous so I am pretty excited about that. I will let you know how it turns out.
best pot I have ever used. Do you sell this pot in a 7 or 8 quart size also? I would love to buy a smaller pot along with this 12 qt.
@armand – According to the Pauli Cookware website, it looks like it only comes in a 12 quart size.
