August 2023 Amazon Picks: Top LEAD-FREE baking choices to get you ready for the upcoming holiday season!
For those new to this website:
Tamara Rubin is a multiple-Federal-award-winning independent advocate for childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety, and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children (two of her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005). Since 2009, Tamara has been using XRF technology (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals — including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic). All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times to confirm the test results for each component tested. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023 (March 2023 print edition).
Get ready for the upcoming holiday baking season by starting a “detox” of your kitchen’s baking gear, now! Check out all the LEAD-FREE choices below. Please read the full text of this post (scroll down). Thank you!

Lead Safe Mama readers have asked me to share these links with the community. I am paying to promote this post on Facebook because Facebook has severely restricted the reach of Lead Safe Mama LLC’s posts if we do not pay to promote them. By paying to promote this post, I am hoping our advertising cost will be (more than) covered as — in response — many of you will remember to simply click on any one of our Amazon affiliate links (or other affiliate links) here (or in the header of our website) before you start ANY of your Amazon shopping. You don’t have to buy what we link to or share from Amazon for Lead Safe Mama, LLC to receive a percentage of what you spend on Amazon at no extra cost to you — you simply need to click one of our Amazon affiliate links and then go about your shopping as you normally would (no matter what you are about to buy)! Thank you for supporting this work in this simple (and free-to-you!) way. Isn’t it better for this small percentage to support our consumer goods safety advocacy work than for it to go toward buying new spoons (or whatever?) for Jeff B’s yacht? 
Thank you!

I wish each link had a photo description so I wouldn’t have to click every single one ha! But maybe there is and it doesn’t appear on my cell browser! Thanks for this post! I will be using it to buy all new items for my mother 🙂 oh and myself and as gifts!
I know you are posting for holidays but it would be nice to see other options for pans other than Solidteknics. I bought one fry pan that burns in middle. They claim it was made that way. My mom had one in the 1960’s that was “made” that way too. We hated it.
Hi Tamara, I have followed your site for a few years now. Thanks ! Are there any lead / toxin fre slow cookers ? Thanks again for all your work.
Can you post links to the testing you did when you have a recommendations page like this?
The whisk for example recommended above, for me I would have immediate red flags going off on anything metal that looks like it has solder points, or any point in which metal needs to melt into metal.
If it was indeed tested, I would feel ok about it, but looking for “Farberware” or a general search for “whisk” on your site returns nothing related to this item.
Have you actually tested it, and if not, how can you recommend it?
Thank you.
I have tested multiple examples of this product… my response to your comment on the other post today: “I have tested tens of thousands of items – but “only” have test results up for 4,000 items. I only recommend products that I have tested multiple examples of and found to consistently be free of Lead (but may not have published results for every single item.)”
Please also read the language in the graphic at the top of the page (the black text on the white background at the bottom of the image.)
Hi Tamara, the text you mentioned was covered up by an ad so I missed it. I’ll send you a screenshot on IG or something for reference.
Good to know it was tested. Lord knows I’m more likely to trust you than any corporation, but I’m still cautious when I can’t see the evidence for myself.
Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
If you want to send a specific item in for testing and reporting on this website – here’s how that works: https://tamararubin.com/2019/08/can-i-send-in-one-of-my-dishes-or-other-items-to-test-for-lead-yes-maybe-but-read-this-first-thanks/

Can you recommend a Dutch oven?
I am also wanting a recommendation for a Dutch Oven
I bought a whole bunch of stainless steel mixing bowls (I believe it was a set of 5 nesting SS bowls) from Fox Run. I believe they do make their stainless steel in China. However, you’ve recommended them before. Should I expect their stainless steel bowls to be safe?
Thank you for sharing!! This is so helpful 🙂
