Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 I was wondering if anyone could advise me about buying a new set of pots and pans. I know that so many have these coatings on them that make me afraid to cook in them. I want to make sure that whatever I buy is not harmful to us since I have many chemical sensitivities and try to do things as natural as possible. Cast iron is out of the questions since I have pain in my wrists and cannot lift it very well. Any advice would be appreciated.

The teflon is quite inert and doesn't come off the more modern pans. #2, a stainless steel alloy that a magnet sticks to (if a magnet does not stick to it, then it has nickel in it). Avoid uncoated aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 --- Donna, The stainless steel pans that I use also have the aluminum bottom. These are only coated on the outside only so I consider them safe.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 --- Donna, You're so very welcome. I use a LOT of stainless steel,corningware and pyrex pans. I am of the opinion that they have by far the best surfaces for cooking and the health hazards are not there that are present in coated cookware surfaces. One internet site stated that the coating permeates the food while cooking. also teflon and various other newer coatings are listed as carcinogens on various sites.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 I thank you all so much for your input about pots and pans. I think I will go with stainless steel.
