Odd that on the silver list the possibility of some kind of nano-layer
of silver on cookware hasn't come up. Obviously, it's soft and would
scratch easily and couldn't take extremely high temps. Obviously it
would be relatively expensive. Obviously, heat kills many pathogens,
reducing the need for silver as germicide.
Not so obvious: would it have any serious merits?

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
