5 Cookware Safe To Use
Stainless steel
Stainless steel will not react with food or alter the flavors of your dishes. It's durable, and you can use it without worrying about scratching or ruining the finish. You can also heat stainless steel to high temperatures or place it in an oven.
Make sure you’re buying food-grade stainless steel. The optimal ratio for stainless steel cookware is 18/10, or 304. This means there is 18% chromium and 10% nickel.
Glass
Glass cookware never absorbs odors or flavors when you cook food with it. It is nontoxic and durable. Glass can be heavy and can break if dropped. Food can also stick to the glass. Always be sure you’re using tempered glass, which is extra strong material made for cooking or baking.
Cast Iron Cookware
Cast iron is durable and distributes the heat evenly. This material can go from stovetop into the oven. Cast iron is a material that is reactive when you cook acidic foods.
Seasoned pans have a thin coating that makes them less reactive with foods.
Enameled cast iron has been popular since the 1800s. It is a regular cast iron with a thin porcelain glaze. Cheaper enameled cookware, from countries without any regulation, may contain lead or cadmium. This problem should not be an issue when buying products from most reputable manufacturers. Ceramic products sold in the United States need to be free of lead and cadmium.
Stoneware Cookware
High-quality stoneware is non-toxic, safe, and can last forever if you take care of it. It is more for baking than cooking on the stove.
Stoneware is an excellent alternative to aluminum baking sheets or roasting pans.
