Any cookware that has teflon coating, and some people stay away from aluminum cookware.

Some types of non-stick cookware are considered unsafe. Try some copper cookware…It heats very evenly, easy to clean and looks great in the kitchen!

any cookware with sharp points

I agree with Jelly. I have slowly rid aluminum and anything seems to be Teflon or any thing that scrathes easily. I have forund the old fashion Iron ware at sales but have seen it being sold new. Other then that I kept the steelware. I also have thinned out plastic cook utinsils to all steel.

Enameled cast iron is safe and mostly nonstick. That’s what I use. Teflon and aluminum are bad. Le Creuset is awesome.

Jelly and Pisces are WRONG. Aluminum is entirely safe to use. If it is very worn and pitted you can can discard it but you probably throw out something that junked out anyway.Don’t lose sleep over it.
