Honestly, I still use the same cookware at my house as I haven't done enough research yet on the new data on the web. There have been recent rumors about harmful chemicals in stainless steel (which I updated above). Kimi recommends the enameled cookware. But it also appears that Weston A Price is still recommending a high quality stainless steel set from All-Clad or Saladmaster as the best stainless steel. Read more about that here. There are several new options that I included above. The enameled set would definitely be nice for non-stick purposes, but I also would like to add an Le Creuset dutch oven to my collection. Hope that helps!

Any updates since Jan 2009 ?
I’m curious about your thoughts on aluminum-based cookware? Should we go ceramic? Should we go steel? Should we go iron?
We cook a lot of eggs and reheat everything on the stove – do we need a mix?
We are new to organic and ‘cleaner’ living…any help will be great!

I am not familiar with Corelle brand and its safety. I would check out Google or Easy Green Living by Renee Loux has a thorough guide to safe products.

Your website is very informative.
Could you please tell me if Corelle brand (chip resistant) dish ware is safe? I typically use them to re-heat leftovers in the microwave.

Thank you.

I have Salad Master pots and they cook perfectly, with no staining or sticking and their lid technology helps you cook without oil or high temperatures which can destroy some nutrient value. They are high quality stainless steel. They are more expensive, but totally worth it and come with a double lifetime guarantee.

I’ve been looking for a breadmaker that doesn’t have a non-stick coating but am having no luck. Many of the reviews of breadmakers I’ve read complain about Teflon flakes in the cooked bread. Yuck!
Has anyone heard of such a product?

I know this is an older post, but imagine my shocked delight when I clicked on the Cuisinart link in your post to find the 12 piece set of eco friendly cookware priced at $18.72 with free shipping!!!! This is 97% off the original price of $570. Thanks for the link!

I love the griddle because it works wonderful for crepes and omelets and the like because it is so easy to flip with the short edges. I don’t have any problem flipping things. The curved egg of the skillet makes that more challenging.

I’m curious why you got the Cuisinart griddle vs. the skillet? There is a huge difference in price for the same diameter pan so I just can’t figure out the difference. Is it difficult to flip crepes/pancakes/over easy eggs with the straight edges of the griddle.

Thanks for answering all my questions, Lindsay!

Just a quick note here- Calphalon Hard Anodized cookware does contain PTFE. Looks like Cuisinart is ok from what I read on Amazon, and I may end up purchasing a skillet! I have a set of expensive Calphalon that I emailed the company about and they replied that it does have PTFE in it. Just wanted to clarify in case anyone read this and thought hard anodized anything was ok, its not, just this newer eco friendly stuff looks to be. Thanks for the great post!
