I'm also shopping for a stainless steel egg poacher. We had one when I was a kid, but these days, they're all non-stick coated. My dad warned me off aluminum cookware, too, and deodorants with aluminum in them, and any kind of acidic food, this as he was munching fresh figs and peaches from the local farmer's market. At least he lives what he preaches, even though he's dying of cancer. His words, not mine, lest you think me insensitive.

Is anything safe anymore?

Meanwhile, my mom is loving the new steam-in-the-plastic-bag vegetables. And she reheats stuff in that plastic Gladware. And her frozen spinach isn't even organic.

Oy.
