Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Moms recommend cast iron or stainless steel over non-stick - both can be made effectively non-stick with proper heating and seasoning (ghee/oil, or rubbing onion on cast iron).
Parents feel non-stick coatings aren't safe for cooking their baby's food. The community reassures that cast iron and stainless steel work well once properly heated and seasoned, and shares simple tricks and trusted brands.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Use cast iron or stainless steel. For stainless steel, heat it well until a water drop rolls off, then add ghee/oil. On cast iron, rubbing a half-cut onion makes it non-stick.
Brand picks: for iron, Stahl is good; for stainless steel, Hawkins and Wonderchef.
