Unfortunately I lost the bulk of my pot and pans while moving. Along
with other goodies as well

I have simply decided to get a new set. I had Calphalon as was happy
with them.

With the news of late about non-stick surfaces being "unsafe", I am
considering just going with cast-iron.

Without starting a flame-war, is there any truth to the unsafe
cookware? I have never cooked with cast-iron, but if it is 100% safe I
can certainly learn.

Thanks for any comments.
