help me choose non-toxic cookware
Since 1newyorkguy asked about anodized aluminum, the previous poster is incorrect about OP explicitly not wanting aluminum -- he just doesn't want it bare, exposed aluminum. He even asked about anodized aluminum.
My bottom line (based on actual use): It's solid and lightweight, and is not cheaply made like taos says (based only on pictures). I care about buzzwords about as much as I care for people on forums who talk like they know everything. I use the pans every day and I am very happy with it. I know a lot of people that still do use Teflon pans and my family was using Teflon (a Calphalon nonstick set) up until a few months ago.
But what do I know. Seems like the previous poster knows it all.
This was my first post on Chowhound because I wanted to share something I was excited about but I guess I should just read-only from now on.
PS: I agree it's not cheap. I got mine when it was on sale.

Glass/Pyrex pots are a great idea but everything sticks and burns (try cooking pasta and it always sticks to the bottom). Cast iron is good too but it's so HEAVY and bad on my weak wrists.
For nonstick cooking, we have been using Safepan for the past 2 months and my whole family loves it. It's very light & easy to clean up plus it passed FDA testing.
I saw it at my local Whole Foods but found it cheaper online at http://www.froobi.com/safepan.
