Sometimes I feel like I live in such a bubble… luckily it’s a conscious community bubble, haha! I thought this was already common knowledge years and years ago. But I come from the largest population of unimmunized school children in the US as well so not your typical small town, USA.

I’m a concerned mother and I wont allow such things to make my beloved family to be prone to such diseases just because of a cookware, prevention is better than cure!
Great information you got there Lucas, keep spreading it.

Wow! I would have never known non stick cookware can be so harmful. I need to tell my wife about this, the non stick pans needs to be put away. Thanks for the info, Lucas!

What about ceramic cookware? Martha Stewart used to make some and they are great! I know that they are not easy to find and are mostly high end…

@Rita – not sure on this one. I’m sure someone else will chime in with some good advice.
@Sam – good to hear! We’ve never used nonstick in any of the kitchens I’ve worked in either, but in 90% of the homes I go to, that’s all there is:(

I am a professional cook and I know for a fact that you never NEED to use nonstick anything. If anything, it’s cheating. If you heat your pan well enough before you pour oil in, it creates a non stick surface even on stainless (and makes food look better too!)

I have a couple of old cast iron pots that have lost a little of their enamel. They belonged to my grand mother and I would like to use them, do you think it is safe or is there a way to restore them?
Thank you for your help.

I rarely cook anymore (I create live food with my VitaMix), but when I do, it’s NOT in non-stick cookware. I’ve had the same cast iron skillet and enameled steel saute pan for decades. I have a couple of stainless steel pots, a carved wooden bowl for salad and another one for soup, and some glass and ceramic baking dishes. I also have a silicon cake pan, which I love, because I can take it from the freezer to the dehydrator, and roll it up to store it. My dad worked in a chemical plant, making plastics, and was dead at 51, already an old man. No nonstick for me! Health and peace. p.s. Season your cast iron cookware (a little olive oil, spread with a paper towel, then put the pan in the oven). It’s ALMOST nonstick, and won’t poison you OR your bird!
