I am currently using stainless steel everything plus one cast iron skillet, which I know is also OK, but my pots and pans have seen way better days- full of pretty darn deep scratches and such. I've had them for a long time. PLUS, it's not easy to find stainless steel that's not been associated with questionable manufacturing processes in China.
Please please PLEASE noone take offense at that last remark. I just want to err on the super safe side (at the less expensive stores, ALL stainless steel cookware I looked at was made there sans only ONE pot that was made elsewhere.)
I know the cast iron wares are OK, but would also like some other alternatives.
Thanks!

I have some cast iron that is covered in some kind of enamel. Not sure what it is.
I've been thinking of buying a new set of cookware too and was planning on buying stainless.
I didn't even think about the effects of where it was made in. I'm sure you could probably get some that are made here but I bet it would be expensive.
Now I am going to have to research before I buy..LOL

Dr. Mercola sells cookware. I have not purchased it yet but am thinking about it.

I like the glass cookware but it';s not made anymore and things stick to it.

Good question. I never used the nonstick pots...just something about them. And stayed away from anything aluminum.
Had a cast iron frying pan but was clueless on how to take care of it. So it rusted and went to the dump. Most of my cookware is either stainless (farberware from a long time ago) or glass like pyrex.
