Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Enamel is paint. It contains cadmium and other toxins. Make sure you don't use it on high temperature and if you burn it throw it out. Stainless steel is about the safest metal you can get. I had a friend when I lived overseas who was allergic to almost everything. She literally couldn't eat the same food more than once every three days and brought her stainless steel pots along if she was travelling. Any other cookware would send her to the hospital. I got rid of all my enamel after hearing her story. Sharon , " jmr1290 " <jomarex wrote: > > I am gradually transitioning to glass and enamel pans.
