Need "safer" cookware for home use. dishwasher safe. Ideas?
My old non-stick pots/pans are beginning to get scratched and need a replacement. I’d like to avoid teflon/non-stick due to the possible unproven risks. I also need cookware that is dishwasher safe, easy to handle and won’t cost me and arm and a leg..
What do you suggest? Stainless steel, Anodized Aluminum, Cast aluminum ( what is the difference bet. anodized and cast aluminum?), cast iron?…. Thanks.

I had non stick like you for a year or so. When they scratched I threw them out. Now I only use a skillet basically for everything. It is stainless steel. For sauteing frying just plain cooking etc. I use cast iron for pancake crepe omlette etc. Between the two majority of my cooking is done. When finished I transfer cooked food to serving container and rinse and cook again in the same stainless skillet. My husband throws away aluminum pots and pans. Never have even one. I dont trust them healthwise.
