Question from HG
Debra,
I have a set of high quality stainless steel cookware. I only recently learned that putting hot cookware in water soon after cooking can cause the pots and pans to warp. While possible warping is only really noticeable on one piece, I know that all of my pieces have been exposed to possible slight warping. My question is whether this warping may alter the health safety of using my stainless steel cookware. If this just alters the heating capabilities of my pots and pans then I am not inclined to spend the money to replace the set, but if there are any health safety concerns associated with using possibly slightly warped stainless steel cookware then I will be willing to buy new pieces.
Thank you!
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know if warping causes stainless steel to release more metals than it already does. If you replace it, please don’t buy another set of stainless steel.
