Question from Angela

I’m curious why you don’t use any cast iron??? 🙂

Secondly, the white porcelain you have…I’m confused on porcelains and glazed stonewares. What’s the difference?

Do you verify the glazes are safe? I’m curious because I’m in the process of revamping our fam’s cookware…we have some Corningware French White Stoneware that looks like yours pictured…it’s glazed. How does one know when to question the glaze used, or not?

The same with those Corningware Mugs that come with the “white collection”…they are glazed stoneware as well.

Confused-

Debra’s Answer

I have nothing against cast iron, I think it’s great. I’ve used it in the past and may use it again. This is just what I have at the moment.

The Corningware I have is a material called “pyroceramic” which is part glass and part ceramic. It does have a glaze that “meets the California requirements” according to the Customer Service representative. That’s the legal thing they have to say.

I doubt there is any lead in these glazes. I haven’t personally tested them, but Corning said they have been testing their products for years for lead and they have always been less than the California requirement.
