Bakeware Question - Old Fashioned Enamel on Steel

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering what thoughts are on the old fashioned, blue-flecked,

enamel/ceramic on steel bakeware? I've tried it recently and it is both

inexpensive and easy to clean. But I'm curious to know what others think

about it from a health perspective? Below is a link as an example:

Thanks much,

Sharon,

I think it's fine if you can't or don't care to invest in something

pricier. It's safe enough, and inexpensive, as you said, but due to

its light weight construction it tends to chip and it's got too much

conductivity so you must be careful of overbrowning and burning.

I bought a roaster for Thanksgiving turkey and some other stuff.

If you can double up those cookie sheets they'll work better, unless

those pans are heavier than I think they are.

Good for you.

Thanks much for your reply, ! I have actually really enjoyed the

few pieces I have and have been thinking about ordering more. They are

thin but not super light, which is actually nice. And they seem nearly

indestructable and also easy to clean. I've never liked glass or

corningware personally because I find them hard to clean and sometimes

to thick for the job. Anyway, it is nice to have another option - I

appreciate your comments!

Take care,

Sharon
