What about cast iron, is it ok?
On the glassware, they used to make a stovetop set of saucepans out of higher heat grade pyrex, but don't anymore. I think you can still find them on ebay and stuff like that. However, if it is not specifically designed for stovetop use, do not use it there, it can explode into a bunch of little pieces. I've read about that happening to some over at mothering.com.
I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't with this cookware thing. I'm also looking for some glass reusable bottles with wide necks (easier washing) to carry in the car.

I was using stainless steel pots and pans for a few months and stopped using them when I realized they were increasing my mercury symptoms. I noticed when I'd scrub them clean under hot water I smelled metal, so I don't know if inhaling that was causing me symptoms or cooking with them, but I felt miserable at the time I was using them, I just didn't connect that what I was feeling was mercury symptoms, I just knew I felt awful at the time. I just found the other day some glass pots and pans you can cook over the stove with called Visions, they're glass cookware, they just can't be used on a glass stovetop. Unfortunately they aren't making them anymore, but websites are selling what's on the shelf still. I got some from cutleryandmore.com and cooking.com the other day, I saw one at amazon.com too.

So, is stainless steel no good to cook in? Why's that then? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Sunshine, if you do some searches and reading you will find that stainless steel contains nickel and a congolomeration of other metals that can include copper, tin, aluminum and others. There's a book written by a lady named Hulda Clark that is about healing yourself naturally who many people reference on this forum and many other forums and is considered a very important book in the health community. She is dead set against metal contact of any kind, not only dental but any metal used in cooking or glasses, knives, forks, spoons, etc. Dead set against using Reynolds wrap or wrapping food in any kind of metals, etc. Makes sense too if for no other reason than metals are not soluble. The holistic dentist who removed my mercuries is absolute dead set against nickel and in his opinion it is a major cause of cancer. He said that when Michael Landon died very quickly of pancreatic cancer that he his mouth was full of nickel crowns, many that he had put in with the year of his death. That is just one man's opinion of course but of all the things I've done to maximize my health, changing out my pans and flatware (forks, knives and spoons) was the easiest and very inexpensive. 'Bout $80.00 for a full set of glass cookware on ebay, $20.00 for bamboo flatware on Crate & Barrel. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/famil...mp;amp;DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1 They are all very beautiful pieces and I've had a lot of compliments from friends and relatives. A nice benefit is that the food tastes better on many dishes without all the metal leaching into it while it cooks.

Sunshine, yes Teflon is really nasty stuff. My first experience with using glass was with these organic baked french fries I make. Used to use a teflon cookie sheet (which is what most us use to cook stuff like that). Used a rectangular glass baking pan (not one of the visions corning pieces I bought) to make the french fries. With the teflon they would be very hard and greasy. With the glass they come up crisp but tender inside and with very little grease and they tasted noticeably better. So the cooking benefits of glass are very nice too. I don't know if you buy on ebay or not but here's the visions corning glass cookware that I bought. I really do like these pieces a lot. Got the 1-1 liter saucepan, 1-2.5 liter saucepan, 1-4.5 liter soup pot/stew pot and 1-10" skillet. There's a lot of other pieces but really that is all a person really needs. I think you can find these same items on Amazon but they cost quite a bit more Here's the ebay link: http://search.ebay.com/search/searc...title=corning+visions&category0=If you wanted to start with a small investment to try these pieces then this is what I'd recommend: the 2.5 liter saucepan and the 10" frying pan. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Piece-Visions...747QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Visionware made skillets too? I didn't know that. My mom used to have one of the saucepans.
You may have to adjust some of your cooking times for the oven, as the glass will heat differently than metal baking pans. I'm not sure how you adjust though.
I'm really aggravated about this. I just bought DD 2 stainless steel tippy cups in December trying to not expose her to Bisphenol A, and now there's nickel. I feel damned if i do and damned if I don't here. I'm not so sure about giving a child a glass tippy cup to throw, not to mention I'm not sure if there are any. So, is the plastic actually better? Sigh. I feel like we're not safe unless we just go back to the spit over a fire these days.
Ok, are the glazes on enamelware, and corning ware ok? White only? I've even heard talk of lead in some crock pot glazes, but never looked it up.
Thanks! Shonda

Interesting discussion altho they are all talking about their microwaving. If you are serious about your health one of the first things you do is unplug the microwave. The Q & A however at the end is excellent altho they question visionware which I've never seen in many health discussions that I've read. The sources I've read place toxic metals at the highest of priorities to eliminate and the plastics and polymers at significantly lesser priority. Another nice perk to the visions corningware is that you can cook, bake and refrigerate your food in it so it is very versatile. Yes, you can also microwave in it too if you still do that. What I will usually do is make a pot of soup in the 4.5 liter, eat about 2/3 of it, put the lid back on and put it in the refrigerator. Then the next day I will take it out, let it stand for a while to acclimate then heat it right up in the same pot. I don't usually like to eat leftovers at all as leftovers aren't as healthy as freshly cook but what the heck, nobody's perfect.

Many of the people at mothering think as you do and won't use a microwave at all. They discuss the safe cookware thing there all the time, and never come to any great conclusions because there are flaws with almost all of them: stainless: nickel, but less so if it's the heavy kind that a magnet will stick to aluminum: well, aluminum cast iron: heavy, can be difficult to clean, hard to cook eggs in until you get them seasoned really well, can't be put in the dishwasher enamelware: the good kinds with thick enough enamel are VERY expensive visionware: has a tendency to explode without warning. I thought this was the cookware I wanted until I read story after story of it exploding. Now, I'm not sure about whether the old borosilicate kind did or if it's just the newer stuff, but I think that's why the old was taken off the market? I could be completely mistaken about that.
I personally want the le creuset (I think that's how it's spelled?), but cannot afford it and amalgam removal too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Actually, the net is full of stories of people who had the stuff explode without these drastic changes, or small changes in temp, like cooling on the counter out of the oven when the contents remain hot but the outside begins to cool. There are stories of them exploding in the dishdrainers, etc. too. I think the older borosilicate ones are less likely to, but still do sometimes.
On the Le Creuset, anyone know of what is used to produce the different colors? I know LC is known for the great colors and I like that too, but wanna make sure whatever they use to color the enamel is safe. I think that they used to use cadmium in the reds before a certain date, but stopped after like 1990? I tried looking but all I found was info on the cadmium and that they stopped using it, some say in the '70s, but others say '90s.
