Question from JGPZ
Hi, I am looking to purchase a pressure cooker. I have read your information on safe/non-toxic cookware. Within the pressure cooker category, the offerings for purchasing a safe/non-toxic material seem much more limited than other kinds of cookware. I have found a few in anodized aluminum. I am just uncertain if this is the safest choice.
Does anyone have any experience in purchasing a non-toxic pressure cooker? If so, I would greatly appreciate you sharing the brand and type of material with me.
Thanks!

Readers, I haven’t looked at pressure cookers in years, but they are a good way to save energy because they cook foods more quickly. I know there is a whole new generation of pressure cookers available, but haven’t researched them yet.
Any recommendations?
Insta pot or vitaclay. I believe those are the names. Don’t go with aluminum. Choose either stainless steel or unglazed clay.
Not stainless steel.
what is the problem with stainless steel?
It leaches heavy metals.
Leaches them from the underlying metals of the pressure cooker?
Yes
