I use either porcelain or glass. I bought several sets of Vision

cookware from EBay and have used those for years. Yes, a couple

have gotten broken, but as long as I have a spare in the closet, I

don't get too upset.

These are no longer available at retail outlets, only Ebay.

I also have the CorningWare (I know, I know!) porcelain casseroles

in the French white. I got rid of all my metal pans.

PS....I should mention that I seek out the Vision cookware with NO

Teflon! Some do have a teflon coating which is what we are trying to

avoid in the first place. So, if you do a search for Visions

cookware on Ebay, make sure you determine that they are teflon-free

before you buy.

One time I made a mistake and bought one with the teflon coating. I

was so mad at myself. It turned out okay though, because I made

sure I took a good picture of it (there are some marketing tips that

make a difference in what your item will go for) and I ended up

getting more for it than what I paid.

I've got a flat-top electric stove that I love, and these Vision

pans work great on it, as do the Corningware.

Thanks Patty, Randy had some Vision cookware when we first met. I threw them out because I always burned the food. As it turns out, I should have kept them and been more patient with my cooking skills. I did however, place a bid on some this morning. Funny how I keep kicking myself in the butt for my ignorance.

Yes, aluminum opens up somewhat when heated, and toxins are released into food.

Yes, aluminum is very bad.

What You Cook In Can Make All the Difference

By Barbara J. Hunter

30/09/2003

Most people strive to lead healthy lifestyles. We spend time learning which

are the best foods to eat, and spend money to provide our tables with

nutritious food. Unfortunately, we can go that extra mile and still come up

nutritionally short if our kitchen is equipped with the wrong preparation

tools. Moreover, the way we cook our foods could actually hinder the life

healing properties of the food we eat.

As consumers we have an array of pans to choose from. With one click on the

Internet, we can scan thousands of pans, skillets and cooking ware. But

which ones are safe for us to cook on, or are they all good since they are

on the market? Let's take a closer look.

Which Pan Is Safe?

The stainless steel pan is one of the most popular frying pans, and for the

most part it is generally a safe product to cook with. However, a small

percentage of people who may be allergic to nickel, may find this pan to

present allergic symptoms. Stainless steel pans " may aggravate the symptoms

of [those that have] dermatitis. "

Copper pans are another popular choice. As long as they are lined, and the

food is not exposed to the copper, there is no threat to the consumer. If

the lining of the pan wears out or gets scratched from wear and tear, the

copper leeches through and can cause those using it to become ill. Symptoms

from over-exposure to copper include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, to name

a few.

Aluminum pans are not a safe bet when cooking. According to Jethro Kloss,

author of Back to Eden, and a leading voice on nutrition, " It [aluminum]

flakes off very easily when food is cooked in it. " In his book, Mr. Kloss

relates his personal experience with aluminum poisoning from pans and

utensils. For him, there is little doubt. " Everyone who knows anything about

aluminum knows that it is poison, " he states.

Aluminum has also been in the news regarding the environmental damage and

poisons exuded into the air from aluminum factories, as well as a possible

linkage of Alzheimer's disease, since patients with Alzheimer's show

elevated levels of aluminum in their brains. The research being done,

however, is still inconclusive.

In her Native American healing book Earthway, Summer Rain stresses,

" never cook in aluminum or copper pans. " Her reasons are that the metals

enter the food during preparation. " They are deadly, " she adds. also

adds to her list of dangerous kitchen utensils, the use of a kitchen

favorite, aluminum foil. " If you're using aluminum foil to wrap things in-

stop it! " Basically the same reasons apply.

It is also worth noting the potential hazards of aluminum poisons that show

up in food, adding more quantities of aluminum to our diet. Sliced cheese

singles, infant formula, cake mixes, baking powder, self-rising flour,

non-dairy creamer, pickles, not to mention the presence of aluminum in

antiperspirants and antacids.

Teflon

Cast-iron cookware is recommended

Teflon is another choice of pans that has its risks. First of all, Teflon

shavings or flakes that come off during cooking can be hazardous to one's

health. Secondly, when heated, a Teflon frying pan emits toxic particles and

gases. These gases have for years resulted in numerous pet bird deaths, and

an unknown number of human illnesses.

One pet retail associate said, " People call all the time, and tell us their

parakeet or parrot looks sick or is very ill. The first thing I ask is, 'do

you keep the bird in the kitchen?' They usually say yes, in which case I

then ask, 'do you use Teflon pans?' They seem dumbfounded at first, until I

explain about the poisonous fumes given off from the pans. "

DuPont, a leading manufacturer of Teflon pans, said in a recent press

release, " significant decomposition of the coating will occur only when

temperatures exceed about 660 degrees F (340 degrees C). " [1] DuPont

continues to say " human illness will be produced only in cases involving

gross overheating, or burning the food to an inedible state. " This

temperature is " easily exceeded when a pan is preheated on a burner or

placed in a broiler, or a self cleaning oven. " In fact, " a normal Teflon

frying pan reaches 736 degrees F in three minutes and twenty seconds. " [2]

Further evidence suggests that Teflon presents hazards to our air and

environment. According to a 2001 study conducted by the scientific magazine

Nature, " When heated, Teflon frying pans release substances containing

fluorine, " which is hard to break down in the environment, and accumulates

in the ground and groundwater.

Is There a Perfect Pan?

There is one pan that has been reputed as being a benefit to cooking. The

cast-iron pan is said to be safe and excellent to cook with, as it can be a

source of needed iron in the diet. Summer Rain says, " Cast-iron

cookware is recommended because the iron mineral enters the food and

benefits the system. " Please check over your pans for signs of scratching

and peeling. Discard any pans that may pose a threat. With regard to any

cooking utensils, bowls or measuring cups that are made from metals follow

the same guidelines.

Other Kitchen Hazards

There is also a potential risk for those who use plastic containers to cook

in a microwave, or to store food or water in. More and more research

suggests all types of plastic leech chemicals into the contents it is

holding. Specific research suggests containers made from polycarbonate

plastic, which is used to manufacture anything from sports bottles to baby

bottles, is the one to be concerned with.

Polycarbonate plastic contains a component called bisphenol-A, also known as

BPA, which leeches into food and water as the plastic ages. Scientific tests

explain that bisphenol-A produces genetic abnormalities, and that plastics

in general are far more likely to contribute dangerous types of chemicals to

the contents they hold.

Another study had this to say: " At extremely low levels, BPA promotes fat

cell (adipocyte) differentiation and accumulation of lipids in a cell

culture line used as a model for adipocyte formation. These two steps,

differentiation and accumulation, are crucial in the development of human

obesity. Hence this result opens up a whole new chapter in efforts to

understand the origins of the worldwide obesity epidemic. " [3]

Are There Any Choices?

Plastics leech chemicals into the contents they hold

According to Sloan, with the International Plastics Task Force,

(IPTF), " plastics commonly used for food packaging can leach. " She states,

" Pyrex-like glass or Corning ware-type ceramics " are safest, and she advises

consumers to " avoid heating micro-wavable foods in plastic. "

Plastics are assorted by the recycling code that is most often found on the

bottom side of the bowl or bottle. They have been categorized into two

categories. The first category includes plastics where conclusive testing

has been done to show that they leeched. This includes the polycarbonate

plastic mentioned earlier. This category includes recycle #3, which contains

" plasticizer " , a component thought to cause cancer and other health

problems, (includes Reynolds and cling wraps, 64 oz Wesson cooking oil, and

Appalachian Mountain Spring water to name a few); #6, which is best known in

its inflated form as Styrofoam, and its non-inflated form as disposable cups

and bowls; and #7, which includes children's " sippy " cups, 5-gallon water

bottles, and even dental sealant.[4]

Although many feel there are no " safe " plastics, recycle codes #1, #2, #4

and #5 are still available. Glass is a good alternative to plastic.

Preparing Foods

Now that you have the safest cookware and storing containers, it is time to

get the most out of preparing your foods. There are many techniques like

boiling, baking, frying, and steam-cooking to name a few. Let's look closer.

Jethro Kloss says to remember that " the four nutrient robbers are air,

water, heat and light. " His advice is to use as little water as possible

while cooking, and to have the water boiling before adding food to prevent

the loss of nutrients. Use fresh vegetables whenever possible, and do not

leave them exposed to air for too long. " Frozen foods should not be thawed "

but placed directly in boiling water.

Steaming vegetables is the optimal way to keep vitamins in your vegetables.

" Cooking by steaming or pressure cooking will preserve about 30 percent more

of the vitamins than boiling. " Mr. Kloss recommends baking vegetables as an

alternative to steaming to ensure quality nutrients and Summer Rain

says, " steam all fresh vegetables, this is the only cooking method that

retains total nutrient value. "

Using a steam pressure cooker is a quick and easy way to get the best out of

food. With a minimal amount of water, " you can put several different foods

in the cooker, cook them all at the same time, and each will retain its

natural flavor. " It also gives you more time in the kitchen to do other

things.

Yes, Cherie, it is released into the food. There have been some studies

that link it to Alzheimer's Disease. Although if you research it on the

internet, you'll find plenty of FDA articles that say it's fine. Hmmm,

doesn't the FDA think breast implants are ok too?

Absolutely! Aluminum pans are about the worst you can use. Acidic

foods, like tomatoes, pit the aluminum. Guess where that aluminum is

going? Right into your foods and into your body. Aluminum is

thought to contribute to diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Aluminum is something you definitely want to stay away from...don't

drink out of aluminum cans, don't use deodorants with aluminum

chlorhydrate (or whatever it is that says aluminum on the label),

and don't cook with aluminum pans!

Literature abounds...you will find much on the net regarding this

possible connection, as well as the fact that flouride is a toxic by

product of aluminum manufacturing processes. Instead of having to

pay for toxic waste removal, the aluminum industry " sold " the idea

of using flouride in water treatment plants as a way to reduce

cavities. What genius! Not only do they not pay for their toxic

waste, they actually get paid in the process of disposing it!

Capitalism at its best. Wouldn't it be nice if flouride actually

reduced cavities? Surprise! No evidence exists that it does! We've

been had!

Try to find out what kind of pans you have. Stainless steel is

supposed to be safe, but my preference is just to be on the safe

side all around, and use glass or porcelain.

I just checked, and mine are stainless steel. I'll little by little

replace with glass, but at least I'm glad to see they aren't

aluminum. I just now got the following e-mail in from Biblical

Health Daily (Rubin):

How to Get Sick:

A Modern Prescription for Illness

How to Get Sick: Keep It in Plastic

Before you store your leftovers in one of those disposable plastic

containers, consider that these types of products release

carcinogenic toxins into foods. The toxicity is increased when foods

contain high amounts of water or when they are highly acidic. Water

is one of nature's most effective solvents, and unfortunately it is

quite effective at drawing out toxins from plastic.

According to The Safe Shopper's Bible, cling film contains

carcinogenic by-products such as DEHP — di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate —

and DEHA — di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate — while regular plastic wrap

contains residual traces of vinylidene chloride.

If you wash and reuse plastic water bottles, be aware that repeated

washing and reuse of disposable water bottles may accelerate the

breakdown of the plastic, increasing your exposure to potentially

harmful chemicals. Do not use plastic water bottles more than twice

at the most. As for aluminum wrap, you already know it's bad. Some

aluminum inevitably leaches into the foods it touches.

March 15, 2006

Hi Cherie,

Stainless steel is considered to be the best pot by many alternative health

providers. I wouldn't replace them unless you feel you are having problems

with them. I have been using stainless for many years and love them.

Surely Le Creuset should be perfectly safe, as it had a smooth, porcelain surface.

I get my Le Creuset from eBay, looking at nearby zip codes only; otherwise, shipping can cost more than the pan.

I've been fine too--thank goodness! My one le Creuset skillet makes

me SOOO happy, I bought it a couple of years ago when debating which

was the healthiest way to go, after tossing coated pots and pans.

Replacing it would cost a lot more that I could handle right now!

Thanks!

I'm glad this topic was brought up. I've been wondering about it and can't find

a lot of info in the net. I went to a presentation on the Salad Master surgical

stainless steel pans. The presentation was impressive, especially with the

baking soda test in different kinds of pots resulting in different tastes

depending on the pot. Of course I don't have that kind of money to buy and try

them. And I was wondering about the whole " stick " issue with stainless pans.

I've been suffering with my nasty teflon because of the eggs. Has anyone tried

out the Salad Master pans? Found anything else comparable? Or at least light

weight? Jen

Jen:

If you like a non-stick pan TEFLON was maligned 10+ years ago, so get rid of

it with all it's byproducts given off during cooking. I bought a (now I

might not have the name EXACTLY right) Thermolon Rocks GREENPAN which does

not give off any whatever you call it. Try Googling that name, they're just

great frying pans.

I have ceramic coated frying pans made by Cuisinart. The name is

Green Gourmet. Only the Green Gourmet as Cuisinart makes other,

teflon coated pans also. Nothing sticks to them and nothing goes into

the food. Amazon and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry them.
