Did you find old non-stick baking sheets in your cupboard? What other toxic items/products have you found in your home? Is there anything you are concerned about and looking to switch out for something more safe & non-toxic? If so, what is it?
I read an article that if you use silicone in your baking tools, including parchment paper, that as soon as it hits 200 degrees it’s leaching out a chemical called siloxane that is very toxic. Have you heard this?
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Thanks for sharing. I’m a new sub as a result of this video. The Contin is great informative. I just got rid of my cookie sheets last night and in the market for new ones but wanted to make sure I’m buying the best and healthiest products for my home
Toxic:
1) Non Stick
2) Bleached Parchment Paper
3) Silicone lining
Non Toxic:
1) stainless steel
2) unbleached parchment paper only silicone in lining
Thank you for the information on the stainless steel bakeware I was searching high and low trying to find it and you helped me THANK YOU!
Glad I could help Briana! So happy you are here. Let me know if there is anything else you need. I am here for you! 😊
Thank you very much for all the valuable information
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge. Been learning about the dangers of non stick cookware recently and started making the switch to stainless steel and cast iron. Any suggestions for deep baking dishes to make lasagna and such? Thanks
Great suggestion on the baking sheets ... My Mom and I try this and that to "replace" the "old" PFOAs, but I have stayed to busy to follow my hunch, (to look on the internet--lol !), surely there 's such thing(s) as stainless steel bake pan. Whew!
Great info.. THANKS!!!
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
Stay away from aluminum pans as well, like Nordic Ware! I just threw out 2 of those pans because, when I buttered them, silver metal came off! I found an old nonstick pan like that too. I put all 3 on the table for my hubby to carry out with the trash. Unbeknownst to me, my cleaning lady placed them in my over. Later, I heated my oven and noticed smoke. I opened my oven and saw a ball of white smoke rising and it hit me in the face. I got Teflon flu and was sick for 2 days! It is only stainless steel non-coated pans for me now! Please leave the aluminum pans alone as well! I saw the silver metal coming off!
I want stainless I heard they warp all the time.
So I'm looking into all clad or something like that..
It's really a shame that all these companies are not putting their heart into making these products excellent.
I absolutely love to cook and grill. I did a lot of research when searching for kitchenware and found Scanpan! Denmark made and very solid and heavy. I highly recommend.
Good to know! Thanks so much for sharing. I looked it up and it seems they have some nice stainless steel. I'd steer clear of the non-stick though. They clearly state it is PTFE on the FAQ page.
Great info. Awesome backsplash!
Thank you Darnel! Glad you enjoyed the video. We love the backsplash too. Our kitchen designer suggested those glass tiles. We fell in love immediately. The shape of the tiles and the color is just so pretty!
Amazing video! And the linked to stainless steel baking sheet will work for broiling too?
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes. The baking sheet will work for broiling too as long as the recipe doesn't require a deep dish. The baking sheet has a rim but it is shallow like a cookie sheet. It will catch some juices but not too much. Hope that helps!
What do you think about silicone ?
What I find in my kitchen is CAST IRON COOKWARE
Great video! Just some feedback, the link you shared of “all clad” has an aluminum core when you look deeper into its pictured description.
There’s always something in the advertising of course!
The other 2 cookie sheets you posted look great and I’m considering getting them as long as they’re 100% SS
Thank for the valuable information
I don’t think the aluminum core is a problem. All of my stainless pots and pans are either all clad or cuisinart multiclad pro. The aluminum is sandwiched between 2 layers of stainless. It is only exposed around the lip of the pan and never comes In contact with food.
Zenana, have you used the USA Pan products? I'm concerned about the toxins in baking ware these days. Appreciate your opinion.
Cast iron is the best if you want non stick. I have a lodge skillet, griddle, and baking pan. The griddle is what I use for eggs, breaded chicken, pancakes, etc. The skillet is for deep dish pizza and cornbread. The baking pan is for roasting vegetables, general baking, and cookies.
After a few uses they become 100% nonstick. Lodge is good quality, made in USA, and cheap.
I also have an all clad frying pan that I use for acidic foods so I don’t strip the seasoning off the cast iron. I couldn’t imagine baking cookies or frying eggs on stainless steel. Sticks on like glue. Cast iron is the best, or if you want lighter weight and faster heating/cooling, then get carbon steel like restaurants use. That’s also nonstick once seasoned.
Zenana thanks for the info. I'm looking to buy a loaf pan and I'm confused. I'm sure you recommend stainless steel, but what you think about Glass or Aluminum loaf pans?
Hi Jasmeet! For loaf pans glass is great. I wouldn't use aluminum. Stainless steel or porcelain would be fine as well. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Take good care!
@@NaturalLivingwithZenana thanks Zenana that was helpful, I will look for glass or stainless steel loaf pan
I looked everywhere on this site for the link you referred to in order to get the name of the company you were raving about. The stainless-steel sheets with the two racks for $31.79. Would you please be so kind as to provide me with the info requested? I would love to order them and get rid of the toxic ones I have been using without the knowledge you provided. Yuck!!
I have never used nonstick cookware
Maybe you can make a video on cast iron? I was wondering about pre seasoned cast iron if that's safe or not.
Hi Matthew, I do actually have two videos out on cast iron. Here is my playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLhE076JnWJGt_5ujwyztCqeXkPRU7wsHM.html
As far as I know the pre-seasoning on cast iron is totally safe. It is essentially oil and is created in a similar way to how you would season it at home. I will double-check on that though and get back to you if I get any more information.
Thank you for your great question! Glad you are a part of this Natural Living Community! 🙏😊
I do have a question where'd you buy your blender? I NEED one!
Hi Briana, It's a Vitamix blender. You can get one here. With this link you will get free shipping and also some deals on some of the different blenders. You can get those at check out. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Is it still safe for me to use my nonstick sheets as long as I don’t cook directly on top of them, and instead use the parchment paper to protect food from sitting directly on the nonstick sheet? I’m just now seeing info that using aluminum foil in the oven leeches bad chemicals in the food. Whats this about? Is this true? Then when DO you use foil? Is it okay to wrap food in parchment paper then foil? This is all new to me.
I'm right with you, just starting to learn about nontoxic cookware, this is so confusing for me 😫 so I also found out that stainless steel has to be nickel free, have you found a brand of stainless steel that you would recommend?
Hi Belen! I know! I was confused too. I even bought cookware with non-stick without even knowing it. I used it for two whole years before I figured it out. 😲
As far as the stainless steel - it is made with an alloy of chromium and nickel. They can leach a little bit of the metal but for most people this is totally fine. If you have been tested and high heavy metal levels then this may be of concern but otherwise it's not a problem. You can also look at the numbers on the cookware. They relate to the grade of stainless steel and will read 18/10 or 18/8.
This refers to the amount of chromium and nickel (respectively) in the cookware. If you are worried about the nickel then maybe look for the ones in which the second number is smallest.
The baking sheets I refer to in this video are actually 18/0 so no nickel at all. Yay! Try them out and let me know what you think. So far they have been great for me!
18/0 stainless steel baking sheets
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NN8TFQN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I was able to find stainless steel baking sheets with 18/0 but I am having a hard time finding pots and pans. I came across titanium cookware that is supposed to be the best but the prices 😱
I know, right? Titanium is so expensive! Let me know if you find anything less expensive. Where did you find the ones you like?
@@NaturalLivingwithZenana I ordered this pan from Amazon haven't received it yet.... HOMICHEF 9.5 Inch Nickel Free Stainless Steel Saute Pan With Lid Induction Oven Safe
In need safer alternatives!
For sure! Thanks for stopping by!
how about using silicone mats... those can be washed and reuse?
Hi Mike, Silicone mats can be ok as long as you are not cooking at super high heat. Also, silicone is not recyclable at this point so if you invest in a mat you just want to be sure you plan to use it for a very long time. Otherwsie, it's like any other non-recyclable item - garbage. Those are the only two concerns with silicone. Hope that helps!
What about glass bakeware?
People didn't use paper back then either.
So what happens if the silicone parchment paper goes over 425-degrees? Sounds like that might be an issue too?
Good question Chris! While it should be safe to use parchment paper at higher temperatures it may get brittle and even burn. You may notice the paper turning brown or even black. It is not likely to combust but it could. The brittle flakes could also get into your food. At temperatures higher than 450 degrees the silicone coating may release siloxanes which are a bi-product of the silicone and these siloxanes can be hormone disruptors. I hope that helps answer your question!
Cast iron cookware is the way to go.
If you want healthy cookware, try using what people used back in the day. Oh, I know a lot of people are going to cringe, Cast Iron Cookware. Not stainless steel
I have very old bakewear
Oh dear! Is it non-stick? Might be time to let it go. I hade some pretty old ones too. The stainless steel options are pretty in-expensive for when you are ready to replace them. I put links in the description to my faves. If it's old glass then keep using it! Glass is excellent.
@@NaturalLivingwithZenana You know what, after watching your video, I just went on Amazon and bought two big Stainless Steel ones. My wife isn't convinced about the whole "poisonous non-stick thing" but I figure better safe than sorry!
@@coentertainer That's awesome! Good for you!
Have an old goodcook
Oh dear Ray! How is it holding up? Was it time to trade it out for stainless steel?
Carbon steel , or I'll look for your videos maybe all stainless, but thin metal, cheap gas stove engineering burns too high ... Almost have to have eyes in back of head ... Just kidding...no lying allowed.... :)
