1-Has the government been involved in this?

2-Any websites that warn consumers about this serious health concern?

3- What kind of cookware do you use?

Thanks!

I have learned (and observed) that most hard anodized cookwares have a layer of non-stick coating, in most cases Teflon. Since hard anodized surface is supposed to be naturally non-stick, WHY would the manufacturers add this coating (which can be harmful to health)? It’s very hard to find real hard anodized cookware without additional non-stick coating.

I bought a Caphalon non-stick skillet at an outlet store location several months ago, and I have really become rather fond of it. Granted, it took me a bit of time to get used to cooking with it [in truth, I still haven't completely mastered it]. I have had it about 6 months and the cooking surface has developed a couple of scratches and dings despite my best efforts and not owning / using any kitchen utensils made of wood or metal.
1) is the technology improved so that the pan can still be used even though the surface of the pan has been breached? (Remember Teflon coated pans had to be tossed because they leached chemicals into the food from any scratches breaking the surface)
2) is there a better cookware for non-stick cooking?
Much as I love frying in a bit of butter in my old iron skillet, I have gone non-stick due to health issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We have a new website we are putting up at www.Mencook2.com. It launches Sept. 1. The reason I am saying this is that we are selling extremely high quality cookware but are interested in finding out what people prefer. Personally I think copper looks great and heats great but is not as good (health reasons) as something like tri ply material. I do not like Teflon and only think aluminum is good in the middle (tri ply). Is my view warped or realistic?
Any comments would help immensely.
Thanks so much ahead of time for all responses.
The site again is www.mencook2.com. We have some products listed. The cookware sets is what I am interested in. Specifically the Gourmet Standard cookware.
Hey men cook too, but I want all opinions!

Is it also contained in any type of carpet sprays, plastics we put our food in or any other type of thing that can directly affect our health?

I was steaming some vegetables, and I forgot to check on it. The water had evaporated, and the teflon was burning up, enough to set off the smoke alarm.
I ate the vegetables that were steamed, and then took the steamer out of the pan, and the teflon non-stick coating was sticking upward and the bottom of the steamer was colored dark brown.
So since I ate the vegetables, will I be sick? What are the health effects?

I am looking to replace my current cookware with something that is much safer. I have read many articles where Teflon/non-stick surfaces are dangerous to our health. If I get a stainless steel cookware set with non-stick surfaces, will I encounter the same health risk?
