Guest guest Posted December 6, 2000 Report Share Posted December 6, 2000 , My son's post-chelation urine tests have consistently shown him to be excreting huge amounts of nickel. I've read that nickel can come from stainless steel. I have stainless steel cookware. I'm considering buying glass cookware. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

If you want to clean up ceramic dishes like new, use stainless steel cleaner (the powdered kind). I've used Cameo brand and Barkeeper's Friend, and they both work like a dream. I just wash the dishes in regular dishwater like usual, rinse them, and then while they're still wet, sprinkle a bit of the powdered stainless steel cleaner into them. Then I get a paper towel, wet it, and scrub for ever so short a time. It takes very little work to end up with a dish that feels nice and smooth. Of course, the powder is still on it, so then I wash it in regular dishwater again. After rinsing, it's just like new. The first time I tried stainless steel cleaner was on a badly stained coffee mug. It had been my favorite mug, but I had neglected it terribly because I used it at work where it was hard to get to a sink. I was about the retire the mug because the stains were so bad, but then I tried the stainless steel cleaner. In no time at all, all the stains were gone and it felt completely smooth, like new. Of course, *I* don't have a dishwasher, so this is a completely manual operation! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 - I actually have some in liquid form that I used to use on my stainless steel stockpot before I replaced it with enamel. Is there any reason to avoid it and get some powdered cleaner instead? (I always had very mixed feelings about using that stuff, since I don't know what's in it, so I always washed the pot very thoroughly after using the cleaner.) >HOT TIP!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 , I haven't tried the liquid kind. The ones I've seen have so many cautions on the container that I don't want them around my house, where I have a young child. This is just one of those " always done it that way " deals. The place where I learned about the powdered stainless steel cleaner was at a friend's house, where they have the high-end waterless cookware. They said that when they attended the demo, they were told about how the stainless steel cleaner would clean up their pans just like new, so they could continue using them without water. So I started keeping it around because I like using really clean stainless pans. Before I tried the stainless steel cleaner on my stained mug, I had tried Brillo pads, Comet, and maybe even that spray bathroom stain cleaner (whatever it's called). I had spent a lot of time and elbow grease trying to clean it up. So I was excited and surprised when, as a last resort, the stainless steel cleaner cleaned it up quickly and easily! I think I've used it on a glass coffee carafe, too. --- In , Idol <Idol@c...> wrote: > - > > I actually have some in liquid form that I used to use on my stainless > steel stockpot before I replaced it with enamel.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 ~ A girlfriend of mine whose mother was at Hulda's clinic for a month earlier this year advised that she's saying it's usually the " cheapest " stainless steel you can find that's best as well. Like you, I dumped ALL but one expensive stainless pot and converted to Visionware! Usually I take stuff we no longer want to a thrift store, but even felt too guilty dumping 'toxic' cookware, so actually threw it ALL away because I didn't want to be 'killing' other people. As you said, back to the drawing board! :-( cookware > Hi, all. > > Dr. faxed me today regarding cookware issue.
