The amazon links seem like they’re not working? Wanted to see the list of enameled cookware.

In reply to Wellness Mama. I was wondering about PTFE in non-stick silicone dehydrator sheets. Since I won't be heating foods about 118 degrees Farenheit, do you think that might be safe? Looking at your chart above, the temps in danger zone seem to start at 350...? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your in depth article…very helpful. I am looking for a frother that heats the milk and froths it, not the little whisk kind, but cannot find any without nonstick treatment. Have you seen any?

Thanks,
Dottie

Thanks! I hear dupont no longer makes it after law suits though I believe it is made and used in China! Frontline I believe or other PBS show.

Now there is another non stick. I am wondering about it??? do you know anything? I just bought a Rice Cooker with it then watched the show a couple weeks after and am wondering about returning.

Do you have any suggestions for small cookware to use in the toaster oven? All the toaster oven pans out there seem to be non-stick. We use our toaster oven a lot to reheat leftovers, but the pans it came with have the coating chipping off which I don’t want to end up in my food! I saw a new All Clad 8-inch stainless steel square baker I was thinking about trying.

Hi Katie,

What about using a milk frother covered inside with Teflon? Would it leach Toxins into the milk? I’ve trying to find one without coating but they are usually super expensive…
Thanks so much for all the info!
You help me being a better mom 🙂

Great article. Great comments. However, I am still unsure of what to use to cook scrambled eggs. Any suggestions? Thanks

Does anyone use an electric skillet and if so what do you use?

In reply to Jenna. Stainless steel with ceramic should be safe if that is all it is?

Wellness mama,
what about the pans that are stainless steal with a ceramic coating? They are more affordable than all ceramic ones. But are there dangers with those? Thanks.

I’m surprised cast iron wasn’t mentioned. How do you feel about that? I love my cast iron pans. My other pots our stainless still. And I also have a ceramic coated cast iron Dutch oven that I love too.

I have never been able to find something that works that isn’t teflon and isn’t cast iron. We have a flat top range so cast iron doesn’t work. I have tried the ceramic ones that are suppost to be so awesome, but it doesn’t work. Things stick SO bad, even with TONS of oil or butter. I use pyrex in the oven for most things, but for cooking on top it seems like teflon is the only thing that works at all. I am not even cooking eggs, mostly just potatoes. The brand I have is Tramontina, it had good reviews.

Just curious about the ceramic coated pans in the stores. I am in search of a larger fry pan but don’t have lots of $ to spend at the moment. I found these to be a reasonable price for now. What are your reasons for not liking them? Is there teflon under the ceramic? If they are well taken care of, wouldn’t they be considered safe. I value your opinion and enjoy your view on things. Thank you.

In reply to Danika. I soak my rice to rehydrate it before cooking, cooks muck faster that way.
