All of the "hype" now about ceramic cookware has me wondering...
My mom has OLDER nonstick cookware that has begun to peel. (peeling at the bottom where it is in constant contact with the food being cooked)
It seems EVERY time I eat at home I get sick. I have told her....a LOT that she needs to throw these away... her reply is...quote..."THIS pot isn't as bad as the other one"... sad sad mad mad
There are no VARYING DEGREES as far as Im concerned... Sick is SICK.
How can I get her to understand what I am going through... because right now?she just doesn't get it....
And is there any cookware that is "SAFE" for us with crohns...
I'm TIRED of pooping my darn brains out.... And I'm TIRED of my crohns flaring up all of the time.

Once the nonstick coating begins cracking or peeling off a piece of cookware, it should not be used. The risk is a small piece of the coating could get into the food and be eaten. The coating does not change until heated to very high temperatures, usually something like 500 F. Therefore, it likely would remain in a solid state and pass from the body.

How about getting mom a couple new pieces of cookware for the holidays? If she prefers cooking with nonstcik, don't spend a lot of money on something expensive. Even on expensive nonstick with lifetime warranties, I've had to have them replaced.

Good idea on the new cookware! :) Until then I would lovingly refuse to eat anything she makes (or if she uses them afterwards).
