Which sort of pans do you use? (80)
Zellarrone1Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England UK33 Threads 4 Polls 7,644 Postssambhava: Bearing in mind that stainless steel and aluminium are both seriously toxic (not that your "healthcare" authorities are ever gonna tell you that!), without doubt it's best to use cast iron or enamel (such as "Le Creuset" from France). People have been poisoning themselves and their children for years with stainless steel and aluminium, but do they ever listen...? Nah! Of course not!
I never realised stainless steel ones were as toxic as aluminium, just as well I ended up with a couple of cast iron ones in the end then. I couldn't afford "Le creuset" ones as I just spent all my spare money on budgie perches and toys 
So, I just got a couple from online auction site " Salter" they are, pics on my profile. Ah well ,it's a start 
stefonline: Copper pans are the best with brass handels...they distribute the hear more evenly and are a nice piece to have....
Hey, wonder if cooking with copper has any health advantages 
I mean copper jewellery is good for athritis angelface123: correction....
use lemon juice and salt on copper only so sorrywash your cast iron, dry, ...take a drop or two of oil (my aunt who taught me too cook reccommended bacon greese) just enough to coat the pan work in and paper towel off ......do this every time and it works Ive got some cast iron 20 yrs old
This is a stupid question use lemon juice and salt on copper only so sorrywash your cast iron, dry, ...take a drop or two of oil (my aunt who taught me too cook reccommended bacon greese) just enough to coat the pan work in and paper towel off ......do this every time and it works Ive got some cast iron 20 yrs old
But, do I season it on the outside and underneath (the bit that goes over the flames) or just the inside I season? RDM59: So have you witches decided yet on the best caldron to use ?
Cast iron, I've heard the 
don't stick to the sides avecaim: although they are heavy I still am a cast iron fan
they last forever if you know how to care for them
You're not kidding they're heavy, I had to use both hands to lift the one with a lid up they last forever if you know how to care for them
and that's before I even have any food in it hopefloats: I prefer Teflon. But Slim likes stainless steel. So, when he's not home I use teflon. And when he is home I use stainless steel.
You must have a big cupboard to store two sets of pans Sommerauer71: What a fascinating question.
I use, Zell, Pentole, an Italian make, that are stainless stell with a copper base. The heat is distributed evenly and I have had them for ten years, guaranteed to last a lifetime, whether that is my lifetime, one can only hope.
I think a good set of pans, like knives is a worthwile investment, unless one lives of convenience foods of course.
They sound good but did you see what Sambhava had to say about stainless steel I use, Zell, Pentole, an Italian make, that are stainless stell with a copper base. The heat is distributed evenly and I have had them for ten years, guaranteed to last a lifetime, whether that is my lifetime, one can only hope.

Zellarrone1: Which in your opinion are the healthiest pans to use and which ones distribute the heat the most even?
I use anodized aluminum ones. Not teflon coated so they're healthier, but they're easier to use than most of the others. I always have trouble with things sticking to the stainless and aluminum ones. Heat distribution is nice on them too.
Everything seems to be a catch 22 these days. I think I'll just quit cooking with anything and stop eating altogether. That should solve most problems except the problems caused from starvation.

I dunno what anodized aluminium is, I'll have to google that too hopefloats: Everything seems to be a catch 22 these days. I think I'll just quit cooking with anything and stop eating altogether. That should solve most problems except the problems caused from starvation.
I thought similar thing, I'll not do any cooking at all, just live completely on convenience foods cooked in microwave but then I remembered microwaves have dangers too. Or like you I'll just stop eating altogether and starve 
Zellarrone1: I don't know what a dutch oven is, I'll have to google it
Here you go ......
Zellarrone1: Which in your opinion are the healthiest pans to use and which ones distribute the heat the most even?
I like cast iron and teflon coated.
But basically, I use whatever is clean at the time of cooking. And since most of my pots and pans are either cast iron or teflon coated, well, you do the math...
ok no dutch ovens!Zellarrone1: Which in your opinion are the healthiest pans to use and which ones distribute the heat the most even?
absloutely steel pans
, all the others i think release bad substances in our food 
not sure is steel don't do that ! but for sure less

Go raw instead...if you're a raw organic vegan, then your food is safer and there's no cooking involved, and you don't starve. All problems solved.
