[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5147256, member: 35909"] No. Well, I know nonstick is unsafe, but I thought that was only if it sratched off or food was burnt to it. In any case, this particular pot does not have a nonstick coating. I've heard of Walmart getting cheaper stuff from even otherwise reputable companies. But I'm also kinda poor. I figured going with a "higher end" type would hedge my bets a little against inferior quality by virtue of it being Walmart. Maybe not. Heh...that would be bad. It looks like tiny particles to me. I snapped a pic with my webcam, it's not terribly detailed, but it's something. I've tried rubbing the brush and cleaning it to get the...whatever off. Not coming off the bristles for now. That sounds nice, but can't really afford anything nearly that much right now. The ones I got were $70, I really can't spend more than $100 on the cookware. I get they'll not last too long, but i need something for now that's at least safe and functional. And I grew up with nonstick in my house, kinda used to having it at least on the big pans. Or anything I cook egg in. [/QUOTE]
