I am going to spend some time over the next couple of days putting affiliate links to items in my kitchen below this video — so watch, then scroll down and check back periodically/refresh the page to see the changes. Thank you for taking the time.
Amazon affiliate links to things in my kitchen below. I only use Lead-free things in my kitchen (most of which you can see in this video!), with one exception — do you know what that is?

DISCLAIMER: I am linking the numbered items on the list below to the exact (or very similar) product that I have in my home at the time of linking BUT as you know (if you ever shop on Amazon), sometimes things are sold out so the links may change or the product included on that link might be slightly changed from the version I bought. Similar items (by the same brand or other brands) with materials, finishes, or colors different than the exact items in my home may or may not test positive for Lead and other toxicants.
For more information about any product (including the specific one I tested), please use the search bar on this website and put keywords into the search bar — the detailed post should pop up. As an example, search “Bread Box.” For a video that shows how to most efficiently search this website, click here.

- My stainless pan (on the stove in the video), this exact product is not currently available

My husband was a salesman in the late ‘60’s. The spoons were a free promotional item. I would say the era is some where around 1967 to 1969.

My husband was a GERBER salesman… add to my last post
Which spoons?
This one? https://tamararubin.com/2020/03/vintage-winthrop-silver-plate-gerber-baby-spoon/
Hi! Thank you so much for all that you do! I was wondering which cotton bag/purse you use or could recommend that is lead free? I would like to buy the same one or similar! Thank you so much 🙂
There is also this brand Crystalyn Kae that claims to be lead free – is there a chance you are familiar with this brand or have tested their purses before? (https://www.crystalynkae.com/blogs/news/27598980-my-bags-are-lead-free-as-if-you-even-needed-to-ask)
Hey Tamara!
Which glass jars were there in which you kept your legumes and other grocery items?
Thank you so much. Would you mind sharing any info on the dehydrator you have?

Is the old etch-a-scetch safe from lead?
I recently bought an etch-a-scetch at a yard sale. It was original, still in the box. I’m worried about giving it to my great grand children.
I remember giving one to my own kids some 50 years ago!
Th older ones do have Lead. If it was made in the past 20 years it should be Lead free.
Do you have a pitcher that you like for hot things like tea? In trying to get rid of some plastic things I was looking towards ceramic but am somewhat nervous about glazes now… having small kids glass can be tricky also. We drink tea fairly frequently and since lead and other things seem to leach more with hot things I’m just curious if you have any recommendations.
This one is good for both hot and cold just warm up first with warm water so it does not crack: https://tamararubin.com/2022/12/my-favorite-lead-free-glass-juice-pitcher-is-on-sale-today/
For lead free bags I use rawganique: https://rawganique.com/collections/hemp-linen-bags
Their bags and purses are made with organic hemp. We actually buy other things from them as well like kids turtle necks made of organic cotton, etc…
For kids back packs we use Ocean & Ground (non toxic, 100% Nylon): https://www.smallable.com/en/search?q=Ocean%26Ground. The bags come in XS, S, M and L sizes. This is our favorite: https://www.smallable.com/en/product/crazy-backpack-m-terracotta-ocean-ground-162486?algsearch=36a8f416f4e10da8b9ad3b295cc62848
For lunch bags we use Fluf bags (100% organic cotton, excellent sizes): https://us.fluf.ca/
There were ones like lunch backpacks with straps: https://www.sproutsanfrancisco.com/catalogsearch/result?q=fluf
Thank you!
The spatula, I need the name of the spatula! lol
I still haven’t tested it – I recommend wood spatulas.
Hi, are the aus-ion skillets safe and does the coating matter? That brand seems to have a few different finishes for their pots. On a different note have you ever tested the nordicware line? Thank you for all that you do!! It has opened my eyes!
Hi Anna – the Aus-ion pots are not coated (unless they have something new that I am aware of).
Here’s the first post with test results for a Solidteknics product:

I don’t believe I have tested anything from Nordicware. Here’s how to send something in for testing:

Hi, Tamara
Do you have a link to your coffee grinder shown in this video? I couldn’t find it in a search for ‘coffee grinder’ or ‘cuisinart’. Thank you!
Do you have a safe coffer maker? My husband uses a cheap plastic one! Can only think of all the bpa and phytates!
I use a french press and sometimes my husband uses a glass pour over.
Do you have any links or recommendations for colanders? I have ‘stainless steel ‘ ones in various sizes, but given that they rust, I assume they are not just stainless steel…
Hi,
Any recommendations on pans that you can use in the daily basis just to make scramble eggs and simple dishes? The ones that you listed are not available on Amazon and I need to move of my Greenpan ASAP.
Thanks!
Have you tested the Madura plus skillet from Zwilling? They’re made in Italy.
Hi Tamara,
What are your thoughts on Induction stoves? I worry about their EMF! We are about to purchase one.
