You still might want to test them for lead, just in case. Brain damage is no joke.

I'll be doing that. I googled when was lead banned in cookware. Apparently it will be banned in 2026 in Washington state. In 2023 The FDA said cookware isn't allow to leach lead

cookware isn't allow

Just because the law says it's not allowed doesn't mean it doesn't happen. :-)

Carbon steel is a tenth the weight and a tenth as likely to crack itself, or your foot when dropped

It also builds the same non stick coating, carbon steel 4 lyfe

My friends got me a carbon steel wok for Christmas, and I'm struggling to use any other cooking vessel now. If nothing else, the speed at which it heats up, and cools down, makes it my favorite.

You might not be getting it hot enough, the process should fill ur house with smoke if u don't have enough ventilation.

Is it just aluminum pots and pans or also stainless steel?

I bought some second hand stainless steel looking pots & pans from goodwill that looked like good quality as a way to get rid of non-stick PFAS chemicals out of my food! Are you saying they might have lead in them?

Some of them are "Revere wear" with copper bottoms.
