I have lung cancer. My doctor told me to invest in stainless steel pots to cook with, instead of magnalite. What's the difference between the all stainless steel pots and the Hard-Anodized pots? and are there any stainless steel pots that are nonstick?
If you are changing cook ware to improve your health, don't go with non-stick, because you will eventually be ingesting all that coating. The best cookware is cast iron, and the next best is stainless steel. The idea behind this recommendation is to reduce as many stresses on your immune system, so your systems can help you heal. There may be lots of other things you can do to eliminate chemicals and toxins from your house and food, so start with one thing at a time. Get some stainless steel mixing bowls, one stainless steel pot to boil water in, and then look into eating more raw foods. Use your blender and broiler. Good luck. I believe you can heal following eliminating the toxins from your house and food.
The difference in stainless steel cookware is the amount of different metals used when making them. 18-10 is the best combination. I have Tramontina SS pots and pans and love them. Nice heavy bottoms that evenly heat. Getting used to cooking with stainless is a bit difficult. You need to start with high heat and then turn it down when you add ingredients. This assists in food not sticking.
