Question from LM
I looked on the site and did not find anything about carbon steel cookware. Apparently it’s a “perfect hybrid of a cast iron skillet and a stainless steel frying pan. It has a cast iron’s heat retention, seasoning, and non-stick properties and stainless steel’s heat control, lightness and cooking speed.” Is it non toxic?

I recently published the Ultimate Guide to Non-Toxic Cookware. Carbon Steel is one of the safest options as long as it does not have a non-toxic coating on it. Carbon steel that is not coated needs to be seasoned regularly, just like cast iron.
