Are the silicone bake mats a problem, too?  I thought they were safe. 

 

I think when the coated pans are soaked in water that it loosens up the material

and it can come off more easily.  Maybe we need to stick something on a stick

and hold it over the fire.  Can't be marshmallows because of the sugar or the

hotdogs because of nitrates. I can't afford the titanium that a friend of mine

sells.  Maybe if I were younger.  And there may be  some problem with that

too.  It is discouraging.

Yes, it is very sad indeed. Was a real wake up call for me when I realized that

not only my food, but what I was cooking it in and with was what was keeping me

sick! Non stick coatings, lead, silicone, dyes, sprays, bahhhhhh. I threw out

literally thousands of dollars worth of cookware, then had to scramble to find

suitable replacements...and the jury is still out on what IS safe! It killed me

to get rid of my lovely pots, pans, silicone bakeware, appliances, and other

gadgets I had used for years, but not worth the ristks to my health...espeically

with my allergies and sensitivities! Fortunately, culling it all paid off and I

got better! I don't know of a specific website that lists the lead crockpots,

but if you google it, tons of info is out there. You can also get home test

kits, which is what I did.ALL of mine tested positive for lead! bahhhhhhhhhhh!
