This is the Lead Safe Mama, LLC affiliate link for Solidteknics. They are my favorite Lead-free pans (pans I use every day in my home). They are lighter weight than similar cast pots (since they are not cast – and are instead made from one piece of [seamless!] formed material) – and they therefore have no rivets or other join points, or other decorative elements [made of different / potentially problematic materials] involved.
Please do note – per the post on my website with full test results for the stainless pans … the stainless pans from this brand are not 100% nickel-free — but they ARE very-low-nickel (and of course, 100% Lead-free!).
If you purchase a pan from this company using one of Lead Safe Mama, LLC’s affiliate links, we will receive 10% of what you spend (at no extra cost to you), in support of our independent consumer goods testing and childhood Lead-poisoning prevention advocacy work. Thank you!

Hi Tamara,
The pans are wrought iron, not cast iron. They are wonderful to cook with.
Thanks for all your hard work, we all appreciate everything you do.
Yes – I know! 🙂 I changed the language to hopefully make that a little more clear!

Hello Tamara, have you tested any Made In stainless pots or pans? They are pretty big right now and a major competitor with All Clad. They say they source their metals from Italy and the US, but I haven’t been able to find any lead info on them!
I don’t believe I have tested those
Are the new plain white Corelle dishes safe? I bought them and have stopped using all my 1997 blue heart Corelle and the gold 1970 butterfly dishes, bowls, and mugs since you tested them and found them to contain lead.
Yes – the new plain white ones (in any shape!) are lead-free!
Tamara
I bought a cuisinart pots and pans set you recommended . Said you bought for your son I believe? Just unboxed it all and discovered most has paint measurement marks inside Now what? I’m not sure I can return and find anything comparable in price
The markings in those pans do not have Lead.

Thanks for the response. I was seriously worried because I unboxed and washed everything before I noticed Love the set so far and thank you for the great recommendations.
Have you tested Le Creuset enameled pots and pans? Thank you
Many. Just put “Le Creuset” in the search bar (at the top of every page) to see all of the examples. They are on my “never use / never buy” list.

I have recently become a consultant for Pampered Chef. Have you done any testing on their products?
Yes – just put “pampered chef” in the search bar on the website to see the test results.
Hi Tamara,
I love your website. Thank you for all your hard work, and for letting everyone know what’s safe to use in our kitchens.
In January, I purchased this cookware set from Amazon: Tramontina 8-Piece Cookware Set Stainless Steel, 80116/247DS.
Is it non-toxic & safe to use?
Thanks again.
Hi Tamara,
Thanks for all your work and recommendations. I’m really confused as to which pots and pans to buy. I not only want lead free, but “Everything bad” free lol. Like other metals. If you were to recommend a set or brand that is “everything free” first, second and third choice (disregarding any prices, I just want to know quality), what would you recommend in ‘safety all around”.
I am looking at Costco, but they have a lot, and i’m not sure.
Thank you so much,
Lynni
There are no pots and pans that are free of metals.
This post has my overview considerations for choosing pots and pans:

Hi Tamara, thank you for your research on our behalf, great work! I have Corelle dishes from the 90’s but the pattern I have is not shown in your picture….does that mean that are lead free/low lead?
No – just that I have not yet tested it for the website. You can e-mail me a picture: TamaraRubin@mac.com
