Trying to rid kitchen of unnecessary plastic

This came in the mail today. The only plastic that the water touches is the clear nob at the top when it is percolating; everything else is metal.

Glass and stainless straws. Stainless or glass cups/mugs. Cast iron pans. Silicone stretch lids instead of plastic wrap. Stainless steel air fryer basket for pressure cooker. Walnut utensils for cooking at ikea. In fact, ikea has a lot of great products without plastic.

Those are some of the best cookware ever made. Was created during the 50s-60s space race and they are the healthiest cookware you can get, and will last generations. Easy to clean with baking soda or boiling water with baking soda in it for really burnt on stains/foods, and always come out slick and white clean.

Snatch them up whenever they are found for sale somewhere, as they haven't been made in a while now and people are clamoring to hoard them for their families.

We’ve also gotten rid of almost all plastic. But my kids love the little colorful ikea plates and cups, so I’d o allow them to eat cold food on there on occasion. Any thoughts on melamine?

NP - minimizing microplastics, etc. My daughter with PCOS was told to eliminate as much plastic as possible from her environment.

Interesting as they say certain plastics are endocrine disruptors.

Watch out for the Corningware colors that contain lead.

Yeah, stick to the plain ones. They are bulletproof and great.

Most all modern cookware is terrible and much of it from India and China has lead as well, but lead danger is vastly overblown. Same as the copper-cookware scare. A little is ok, too much is bad. It's easy to OD on copper, but not enough lead in most glass to matter.
