Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Many thanks to those of you who shared information about safer cookware. Most all of the recommendations say the 7 layer surgical stainless is the safest. Anyone have any other ideas/suggestions? Again, my appreciation to you for your help.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Kim, I save all my glass bottles from things like mayonnaise, juices, jellies, etc., and they have become my storage containers. I do use plastic at times, but never for anything wet or hot. I work in a restaurant and I save the one gallon glass jugs that cherries and olives come in, for the big stuff like a huge pot of tomato sauce or soup. A lot of my glass containers come from yard sales, but I never buy anything that is crystal because of the lead content. I store a lot of stuff in regular dishes you would eat out of and use the plastic covers with the elastic on them. I also have quite a few ceramic/glass casserole dishes with glass covers that I use as well, especially for freezing things. I am of the mindset to avoid what I can and not make myself crazy over toxins in containers, but to limit my use of those that have the potential, when ever possible. The one thing I never use is aluminum in any form. No foil wrap, foil containers, foil pans/baking/roasting, etc. I think we all know how dangerous aluminum can be in the long run. When I shop I look for products that are in glass as opposed to plastics or cans, such as salad dressing, olives, pickles, or condiments. I think every little bit helps in avoiding what you can if there is a toxic potential. Diane musicgirl1993@... wrote: >Do ya'll believe the stuff about Tupperware and plastics?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 It seems to me Corning ware would be excellent for cooking. Jack > > Is Corning Ware safe enough for cooking with or does it leach? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
