Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have some of the best iron skillets from the thrift shops. I also use stainless steel and no aluminum. Is TFAl a teflon? I'm not sure. I see people using teflon pans with the teflon lifting off in areas, isn't that scary? Donna --- Cheryl Baker <starborn59 wrote: > Thanks for the tip on using glass salsa jars.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 T-Fal is an expensive teflon type coated pan. I am not overheating it. That is what causes teflon to come off. I have a gorgeous cast iron grill that I got at a flea market for next to nothing. It covers two burners on the stove to use it. I have lots of pots and pans that I need to sell to get rid of them. I am only one person and set up to cook for an entire 20 man crew!!! giggle!!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 That is scary , Donna. I'm afraid to use anything thats coated with anything! I bought some beautiful glass pots and pans last week. I love cooking with them. Cheryl --- Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > I have some of the best iron skillets from the > thrift > shops.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Cheryl, I too have some wonderful glass pans,baking dishes, iron pans,and my great clay cookware. I recently read that stainless steel cookware has an inner layer of aluminum so we need to be careful when the steel starts to pit . I see many stainless pots in the thrift stores that are pitted and badly scratched so no doubt the aluminum is exposed. Ancor Hocking makes wonderful clear dishes, cups and baking dishes. I know most people put their cups in the microwave to heat their coffee or tea. Best if you buy the non painted clear glass cups if you do that. I agree about the " coated' pots and pans. That stuff has got to eventually come off in our food . Well all we can do it keep each other informed and do the best that we can.

I have a rather expensive set of commercial anodized aluminum Calphalon that I've used for years. They are heavy and cook so nicely. This cookware thread made me curious so I did a search for information. I found no authoritative source online which states that hardened aluminum cookware is harmful or a heightened risk for Alzheimer's. What have I missed?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Kathy We talked about this awhile ago. I would look in the archives. I would think the stainless would have to be pretty pitted to expose the aluminum. I think Calphalon is better than using regular aluminum but I would take stainless or cast iron or enameled or glass any day.
