Haven't heard of the "Green Pan" Will have to check it out. I mostly used stainless, glass and some times cast iron. Thanks for the tips. Haven’t heard of the “Green Pan” Will have to check it out.

The alternative I love most is All Clad. They simply make the highest quality items. Don't have the full set though - too expensive! :) I’ve been reading a lot of articles about how unsafe teflon pans are. The alternative I love most is All Clad.

There are far too many people who do not know of the dangers of this cookware. I know that there are lots of pet birds who have died from it. The lungs become full of fluid, and the bird effectively suffocates to death. It's shameful that there are no warnings on the packaging of these pans.

Salad Master is widely recognized as the highest quality and safest stainless steel, but it's quite expensive. Some people suggest that cast iron isn't such a great alternative. I don't remember the exact reasons, but it's something to look into. I used to use cast iron and switched to baking in glass, even for meat. However, if you bake with glass, it's important to do so at a low temperature. Not only will this preserve the nutrients in the food, but Pyrex glassware has a not so nice reputation of exploding on people and causing serious injury.
