What type of cookware is considered unsafe?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I would like to purchase cookware for a friend who is very health conscious. I recall that some cookware is considered unsafe. What type of cookware should I avoid that is considered unsafe to cook with. What are the ones that are acceptable to cook with?

I agree with Jelly. I have slowly rid aluminum and anything seems to be Teflon or any thing that scrathes easily. I have forund the old fashion Iron ware at sales but have seen it being sold new. Other then that I kept the steelware. I also have thinned out plastic cook utinsils to all steel.

I’ve never had a problem with this using a gas stove, but now I’ve moved to an apartment, and it has an electric stove. Any advice about this is appreciated. Thanks.

You have to make sure your electric parts that you set your pan on is clean, nothing can be on them. and make sure the bottom of your pans are grease free and completely dry. I had that problem when I went from gas to electric, always clean them after every use.
