Stainless Steel Cookware & Allergies?

In summary, stainless steel cookware is made of steel, chromium, and sometimes nickel. It is generally safe for people with allergies, but those with a sensitivity to nickel should choose "nickel-free" options. To determine if cookware contains nickel, check the label or packaging, or if it is magnetic. Stainless steel is safe for those with gluten allergies. To properly care for stainless steel cookware, avoid using metal utensils, hand wash with mild products, and dry thoroughly.

that Stainless Steel cookware is better to use for people who have allergies? I had a customer of mine today at a show tell me that. I have never heard of it and I have allergies. Has anyone else heard this?
 
Are they allergic to teflon or Dupont Autograph II? My chef husband doesn't think it would be better to use SS for a person with allergies.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that our Stainless Steel cookware is a great option for people with allergies. Unlike other materials, such as non-stick coatings, Stainless Steel is non-reactive and does not release any harmful chemicals or toxins when heated. This makes it a safe and healthy choice for those with allergies. I have also heard from many customers who have allergies that our Stainless Steel cookware has helped alleviate their symptoms. I highly recommend giving it a try. Have a great day!

To keep your stainless steel cookware in good condition, it's important to avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the surface. Instead, use wooden or silicone utensils.

Dry your cookware thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and discoloration.
