Q. I want to buy some nontoxic cookware — which pots and pans are the safest for cooking? Which pots and pans are the least toxic?
Vintage (1972-1988) Corning Spice-o-Life Casserole: 26,500 ppm Lead (90 ppm is unsafe) & 236 ppm Cd (75 is unsafe)
Made In France (c. 2013) Yellow Le Creuset Sauce Pan [#21]: 19,600 ppm Cadmium (a known carcinogen) + 48 ppm Lead.
Ceramcor Xtrema “Metals-Free” Saucepan Positive For Lead, Cadmium, Cobalt, Iron, Nickel, Chromium and other metals when tested with an XRF instrument.
A New Trend In Stupidity: : Expensive Fancy Cookware with Leaded Brass Handles Is All The Rage In Kitchen “Fashion”
Blue “Cornflower” Design Corningware Baking pan: Lead-Free (but this does not apply to all years of production for this pattern!)
