It would appear that many of todays commonly used cookware metals and coatings are not all that healthy either

STAINLESS STEEL

“The kind of steel used in most stainless steel cookware is not the best metal in which to prepare foods. Most stainless steel cookware sold in stores is of such a nature as to allow chrome and nickel to bleed out into foods as water and food chemicals react with the walls of the vessels as they are heated. The chrome and nickel salts are retained when ingested. They cannot be eliminated. They build up and in time can create troublesome conditions”.

– Dr. Shelton’s Hygienic Review
Division of Science, Engineering and Technology, The Pennsylvania State University at Erie, The Behrend College, 16563 Erie, Pennsylvania, USA

NON-STICK COATED / TEFLON

Can scratch, chip and flake. "Exposure to Teflon resins at temperatures above 393ºF may produce a condition termed polymer fume fever characterized by flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, nausea and occasional vomiting.

" Federal Aviation Agency Occupational Health & Safety Bulletin.
.

ALUMINUM

Very soft metal. Extreme chemical reaction between food and pan. "All Vegetables cooked in Aluminum produce hydroxide poison which neutralizes digestive juices, producing stomach and gastrointestinal trouble, such as stomach ulcers and colitis."

Dr. A. McGuigan's Report on Findings for the Federal Trade Comm. In Docet Case No. 540 Washington, D.C.

Blood oath Mick, cast iron cookware does seem to have the least health risk.. Us cast iron freaks are not only the healthiest eaters, fitter than Mallee bulls (especially what with lugging those whopping great ovens around) and we eat the best tucker Grin

Speakin of health risks. My wife and I listened to this news report on the radio this mornin, which claimed that one glass of red wine a day for women was no longer considered therapeutic and actually increased their risk of cancer.
I then burst into laughter because the missus had this terrible, shocked, horror, ‘how much can a Koala bear’ look on her face, because 'her indoors' is quite fond of a glass in the evening. Wink

Naturally as a gentleman and a caring husband, I insisted on saving her from the evils of cancer by offering to consume her nightly quota of red … Grin

; .............The offer went down like a lead balloon...... Sad

I just can't understand it ..... Cry

Hansen & Walton were the original owners of Albion Stove Works in Maryborough before John Walton moved to Brisbane to start UMI.

While in the Toowoomba area we took the opportunity to drive out to the Jondaryan Woolshed for a stickybeak. Itis a very interesting place with a heap of history. One of the many things I saw there was this beautiful old 18 inch Albion oven. I’ve never seen the lids marked this way before……only with the oval shaped logo. Thought Id post the photos for others who haven’t seen one
I asked the bloke who was cooking dampers at the time if he knew much about it …..His answer….” That old thing??…Buggered if I know where it came from……...we use it for a stew pot on busy days…leans up against the wall there mostly.”
He was using the roughest looking home made camp oven Ive seen to cook dampers in at the time. Sort of left me scratching my head…….I know which Id rather use….lol….any way his choice…..he’s cooking.

Well it is not on site there anymore, after a recent vist.

Beryl just returned from a few days at 134 Neptune Street Maryborough (Qld!).
She grew up as a girl at this address and has added some interesting information re a Foundry next door.
- it was known to her family as the Walton Stove Works
- the foundry was still going when her parents bought the house (new just built spec home) in 1956/57
- the foundry closed in the early 1960's
- originally the foundry took up her parents block and 136 Neptune Street, she said her mother was always digging up iron when gardening
- Grannie Walton lived round the corner in Walker Street, Bob Walton lived on the corner of Neptune and Walker Streets thought to be grandson of John died only two months ago
- the wife in xxx Neptune Street is a Walton from the foundry family and can tell anything about the foundry history, Beryl has her phone number and is well known to Beryl and KD as the lady was a friend of Beryl's late mother
- 132 Neptune Street is a white brick house and was the site of the scrap iron heap to be melted down, the foundry extended for several blocks beneath that house to 128 Neptune Street.

Not making any observations or comments other than facts above.

I hope I can stumble upon this locally one day.

Was this the same foundry as the Albion camp oven foundry?
