Is it non-reactive and won't leach chemicals when cooking acidic foods? Thanks.

That's a question beyond my pay grade, so to speak. However, I will say I've cooked tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc. in my Anolon pans and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the coating and/or interior condition of the pan. I would think if there was a leaching issue, the finish would degrade after a while. You might want to contact Anolon directly with this question.

I have had absolutely no problems with this piece of cookware but for a question about leaching chemicals, I would contact the manufacturer.

To be honest, I can't tell if it's acid-free. I'm sorry this doesn't answer your question, but to be safe...I would have to say no?...I would ask the seller if I were you.

Lodge states that the inner porcelain coating is lead free and resistant to acidic/alkaline foods and safe for marinades (acidic). For most tasks I would not be concerned. If you are cooking something extremely acidic or caustic, stainless steel might be a more prudent choice.

sorry been so long in replying yes it is non toxic and after months of plying with it it's still going strong .. :)

First let's qualify my response, I am an electrical engineer not a chemistry engineer. My personal observation and use is: The oil doesn't have an odor (something I noted in reviews about other brands) and would be a giveaway if olive oil, or such, were in it, the viscosity is too high to have been diluted with any cooking oils I have seen. It's pretty close to colorless/clear. I hope this helps a bit.

That's kind of a crazy question, because I can't imagine a cooking pan with a toxic coating. Yes, though, this coating is non toxic, and it is a good one too.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

Hello there- I bought this great looking kettle about a year ago and I have had no problems. I care for it as the instructions tell me to. The inside is all stainless steel and according to my experiences, there is no leaching going on. To be honest, I am not sure how to tell if leaching was occurring. seems like great quality. Hope this helps :)

It does not leach and it is unlike any other so called non-stick pans which I would not use. I even ordered a larger one. Very happy with it !

im not sure sam. but i think id reread what i wrote.. STAY AWAY from aluminum cooking wear! it is extremely bad for you. buy stainless steel. take care.

I don't know, but probably not. I see on the technical spec sheet it has a poor resistance to a 10% solution of acetic acid. Vinegar is about an 8% solution of acetic acid. I've seen nothing on the packaging that says it safe for contact with food. I'd contact the Devcon folks on the Devcon.com website for this information.

I have used it in the oven and on the grill extensively. I have no concerns.

I haven't noticed and chemical smell. I have put in water at a full rolling boil with no problem. I have been very happy with mine.

Not as well as plastic. But...I am avoiding plastic in direct contact with foods, especially when hot. Chemicals in the plastic can leach into the foods especially when hot. If I really want to protect the food i place it in the waxed bag and then in the plastic bag. My process on what I know about chemicals in plastic leaching into food. We bought the box of 1000 for a church fair to wrap muffins for early morning coffee and muffins. They were cheaper that equal # of plastic bags. They are biodegradable and can be recycled in our community. Plastic bags cannot.

I adore these pans, but I wouldn't cook something as acidic as spaghetti sauce in them. However, if you decide to, nothing much will happen to the pan in the long run. The acid in the tomatoes will strip the seasoning off the pan, and you'll just have to scrub it out and re-season it. I've made pan sauces in mine, and they have the same effect. I clean it, wipe it down with oil, and put it on a low burner for half an hour or so.

Acidic foods will not strip seasoning off of a well-seasoned pan. The issue with acidic food and reactive cookware is when it is not thoroughly seasoned and acidic foods react with areas of the pan that don't have polymerized oil coating them. I regularly cook tomato and wine based pan sauces in thoroughly seasoned cast iron (similar to carbon steel) and do not pick up off flavors, nor do I damage the pan. I wouldn't advocate long-simmering a sauce, but a quick pan sauce should not hurt cookware that has a good layer of seasoning on it.

I wouldn't see why not but I haven't tried it. It is not acidic or abrasive.
