I checked Le Creuset
Seems their frying pans are coated in "silverstone"

When I checked I see this is a DuPont concoction also

Anyone know if it's ok or more of the same Teflon rubbish ?

While I have no idea why, I do know that even very small amounts of xylitol make both my husband and I horribly dizzy... To the point where I won't even get behind the wheel of a car and drive. Sometimes it's followed by an odd sort of headache that usually doesn't go away until I've taken a nap. I can't use it.

After reading about my "cookware" I am once again discouraged.I use visions cookware(glass) and for frying I use my cast iron skillets. I am not sure what to do now. I think that I have more questions than answers now. Here are the two that stick out the most. On the website we are shown this beautiful cookware, but the inside of the skillet still looks like cast iron- Is is treated with enamel? The other question is this- Does my "visions" cookware have lead in it. Actually here is another good one-I also have stoneware from Pampered Chef. Is this a good option. I have a large family ( there are 7 of us) and the size of this cookware wouldn't even be close to what i need to make a large family-size meal. Could someone help me :(

What I find particularly egregious about the continued sale of Teflon is the peddling and continued use of this product by prominent chefs on television. This is just another reason why television, as well as Teflon, can be harmful to the health of America. I avoid all non-stick pots and pans regularly, and particularly while I was pregnant. My baby has been the epitome of health and he is now considered to be in 100th percentile in his weight and length. I know other mothers who work hard to stay healthy and chemical free and have experienced the same growth in their babies. Perhaps the national averages are lower than they should be because mothers regularly expose their fetuses and babies to harmful substances such as Teflon.

When I cook I use iron skillets or my cast iron dutch oven. I can make just about anything in it. For my baking I use glass, ceramic, or stoneware. I got rid of all my aluminum too. Who wants Alzheimers?

The great thing about the cast iron cookware is it adds much needed iron to your diet. It's a bit old fashioned but is easy to care for and clean, it's black! ;) Plus you can usually find a few pieces at your local thrift store. There are a few tricks to using it but once you get the hang of it, you will love it.

I do think teflon is a problem, as well as microwaves. But a more important issue I feel is all the synthetic and chemically ridden formula's that are out there for infants. They are given to baby's, in plastic bottles, after being mircrowaved. How many more wammies can give for that?
