Decluttering Pots

A couple of my new pots
Our pots were the old non-stick pots and the non-stick coating was wearing off. Specks of metal under the dark coating showed through. I didn’t think this was healthy for my family. We’ve been looking at the hard adonized pots. They are quite expensive so we had bought only one saucepan. We were planning on slowly getting the rest until we had a full set.
Happily when I was getting my Dad’s birthday present at Amazon.com, I checked out the gold box specials. A set of hard adonized pots and pans from Kitchen Aid popped up at 78% off. We got the whole set for under $90 instead of $30 a pot.
My set came today and I actually briefly thought of holding on to my old, probably unhealthy pots. You know, in case I might need them. The truth is we don’t need any more pots. And we certainly don’t need pans with the non stick coating coming off. Plus we’d have to put the old pots into storage since we couldn’t put a whole other set into our cabinets. So out they go!
Have you replaced anything lately, but kept holding onto the old version?

Hi, I’ve been wondering what to do with my non-stick cookware. If it’s not safe to use, I don’t want to give it away. But on the other hand, I’d rather give it away than add it to a landfill if it would keep the recipient from having to buy some non-stick cookware they would have bought anyway.
May I ask how you ended up disposing of your old pots and pans?
Thanks!
Hi Alexis,
I threw mine out. If I didn’t deem them safe for me, I wasn’t going to give them to someone else. I wonder if there is a place that recycles old pots and pans? I don’t like throwing stuff out either.
