OK, this has been discussed into the ground previously. However I did
not do any dowsing on it, so here goes for cookware:
iron - good
stainless steel - not all good, 6061 ok
teflon - good, but only if you keep it below 500F
aluminum - bad
ceramic - good
porcelain - good

Unless you heat teflon up to around 600 degrees F which makes your
food into smoking charcoal, it's about as inert to everything as
anything gets.
You may as well worry about eating silica sand.
No more picnics at the beach, ya know.

Hi:
Does anybody know if being PFOA free makes this non-stick cookware
safe to use:

My wife wants me to evaluate it because it is inexpensive and we
currently have no non-stick cookware (use stainless steel with
aluminum core
instead).
I have researched it, but only come up with the fact that their
process is water based rather than POFA based, which is supposed to
eliminate the main problem with Teflon cookware. Because it is water
based they call it Hydrolon (clever, huh?). I assume the non-stick
material is still a fluorocarbon solid called PTFE,
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene) but I have not
been able to verify this (but what else would it be?). If so, that
would still be of concern as the material dispersed into your food
over time, would it
not?
