Best cookware for you and the environment To avoid metals and chemicals getting in your food consider using the following: 1. Bamboo is a renewable resource, does not necessitate mining and uses relatively little energy in manufacturing. Bamboo cookware has a short lifespan, but its environmental impact is relatively small. 2. Glass, ceramic and enameled cookware cannot be recycled. They can be bought used and depending on the quality, can be versatile enough to serve multiple functions. Their longevity is limited by breakage. 3. Cast iron can last for many, many generations. It can be bought used and still be as good as new – or better. It can be used on the stovetop or in the oven, reducing the number of items used for cooking. It requires no detergent for cleaning. It’s a winner. I think cast iron is the best option all around. Weigh the health and environmental risks and decide what is best for you.
