4 Types of Toxic Cookware To Avoid!! | And the healthiest cookware ever
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
It's easy to avoid toxic cookware! Your pots and pans need to be safe & healthy. You have to be aware of leaching from your cookware. Nonstick surfaces, or even naturally occurring metals might not be the healthiest option for you. Keep reading to learn more!
- Ceramic-coated cookware: Chipping is a concern. They can also scratch easily
- Aluminum cookware: Leaching, that’s all I have you say
- Teflon: Again, leaching!
- Copper cookware
My two favorite types of cookware:
- Stainless steel cookware: Hands down, the best line is 360 Cookware. And they have an incredible offer running right now. Their 1-quart pan is usually $149.99. BUT for a limited time only, they’re offering my community an incredible deal. Click the link below to get the 360 Cookware signature 1-quart pan for just $49.99. That’s right - get a fabulous, American-made stainless steel pan for 1/3 the normal price. Here’s that link for you: bit.ly/2DZGYam
- Cast Iron is consistently great, though difficult to care for! I recommend at least one in every kitchen!

Just an FYI. After many research, I found that stainless steel (other than the one that is all stainless, 10/0) contains nickel that many are sensitive to vs developing a severe allergy to it. Overtime can accumulate in the body. I found that 100 percent ceramic to be the safest.

Ceramic can leach lead.
As a southern girl I was raised with the cast iron skillet. I def have incorporated the skillet into my cookware set and it is true that iron can be transferred. Great news when I went plant based. I invested in a stainless steel set about 10 years ago and they are as great looking today as they were when I purchased them. It has been well worth the money to invest in one good set...and a cast iron skillet.
Great video!! Thank you for teaching us.
best way to check a pot if it's safe or not add baking soda with same amount of water same amount of baking soda (i.e. copper, aluminum, glass, and cast iron then Stainless steel 316L Medical Grade) boil at the same time then blow and taste. the greater bitter taste the greater toxic, greater salty taste is safe to human use. Note: Baking Soda taste is salty.

Note about stainless steel - doesn’t the steel just cover up an aluminum or copper base? Therefore the steel must be thick enough to not leach nickel/chromium? You can test it with a magnet. Also 100% ceramic cookware is the safest, not the metal cookware with the ceramic coating that could still leach if scratched.

I think you left out one type of healthiest cookware, it is the Visions/Corning glassware. I have moved from non-stick (aluminum) to stainless steel to cast iron and finally to glassware. I still have a few stainless steel and a whole lots of cast iron but I am cooking more and more on glassware. Among these three types they have their goods and bad, and that is why they can all co-exit very nicely and they all do some forms of cooking better than the others. You don't want to cook acidic or basic food on cast iron but definitely sears a steak on it. Stainless steel have the most variety of choices but they are also quite sticky. Glassware is absolutely non-toxic and you can see the food being cooked, yet not many choices and they can break easily. As I said earlier there is no one type of cookware that can do it all so choose wisely and use wisely and you will have a happy kitchen and great cooking.

Carbon steel pans are also a great healthy option.
If its a non stick pan, does that mean its Teflon? Stay away from all non stick? Curious in particular of the Costco Kirkland brand 3 nonstick pans. Says PFOA and PFAS free. Are these a no?
Been using an IRON pan (not cast iron) for three years now, high quality from the French brand De Buyer, and I’m cooking nearly all my food in it (along with a pressure cooker). Super happy! And no, it doesn’t rust and barely sticks when used properly.

Also, the surface of my pan is smooth, where cast iron is often « textured ». I think it’s mainly known and used by chefs in restaurants.

Finally (sorry for all the separate posts), you can definitely use soap to clean cast iron cookware. Can you imagine our grandmothers and great grandmothers using pans and NOT washing them with soap and water??? No dishwasher (hand wash in sink), no soaking in water, rinse and dry immediately after washing, put a bit of oil (i.e., canola) in the bottom and, using a paper towel wipe the oil all the way around the inside of the pan and put pan on stove and heat until it just starts to smoke and remove from heat -- voila and you have just re-seasoned your pan.

Most copper cookware, though not all, is stainless steel lined. So, it is not coming in contact with your food.

My daughter and her family now have them and use them daily and btw my daughter won’t use anything to cook or store with that could cause health issues in her 4 children and they all love the cookware. My point being is maybe Sophie was given a new sauce pan to show that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t use the product or believe in what she is representing.

Actually, when You stated that your cast iron pan leaches iron into your food you were quite correct. HOWEVER, when you followed up with that is a desirable scenario, unfortunately that is very much NOT the case. The trace iron from the pan is an Inorganic material which our bodies can not deal with as one might first think. It is treated as a foreign material to be disposed of. Often, our joints become the reservoir of this material causing ALL manner of joint issues. The ONLY iron that our bodies can assimilate and make good use of is that coming from the plant kingdom which is ORGANIC in nature. Cast iron cookware is as much of a potential health hazard as that of coated Teflon or ceramic pans. The ONLY real cookware to consider is either "stainless steel" or "glass Pyrex". With that exception, though, I did enjoy your video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

If you purchase enamel-coated cast iron cookware by Le Creuset or Staub, chipping does not "occur easily" nor do they "scratch easily." These are examples of cookware that are passed down through families because they are like new after many, many years of use. Spend money and get a good product.

Incorrect. You state copper cookware is unhealthy. Can you show 1 pot or pan that actually uses copper on the cooking surface? The copper is normally on the stove side of the cookware, the food side is typically stainless or tin and far superior to a solid stainless cookware or layered with less conductive metal arrangements.
