What type of pots and pans to use

What types (brand, etc) do all of you use to cook in your parrot household. I know that teflon and nonstick types are hazardous. :gray: :macaw:

I just replied in your other thread, but cast iron cookware is the best. Its great to cook with, much better than anything non-stick, and its completely safe. :D

Also use Pyrex, which is glass, for making brownies or stuff like that. I own the 8X8X2 and the 8X16X2 :] which I used even before Nika came along.

For cookie sheets you can use stainless steel or I found this: http://www.usapans.com/ which is silicone coated, so ptfe and pfoa free! Which means it's safe.

I use stainless steel but will be switching to cast iron once I get some spare cash.
