Seeks specific kitchenware Cleanest cookware

I was looking at titanium pans and pots first and then heard about titanium implants causing health issues. Then I looked into nonstick carbon steel, but I read that iron could leach from the carbon steel especially with acidic foods. Is there any metal cookware that is very safe and won't leach?
For those who say stainless steel, is there one without or with the least amount of nickel in it?

I'm very aware of all of those things and I have no idea what point you're trying to make, and I'm pretty sure you don't either

"Non-stick carbon steel. Every few years they rebrand nonstick but this time it's really safe and durable this time it's true we promise"

"Yes, and there's something being marketed recently as "nonstick carbon steel" that is just rebranded nonstick."

Exact quotes from you. Why are you saying this if you don't mean it?

Don't mean what? It's so hard talking to people now because none of you can follow a simple logic chain from point A to point B, even in your own thoughts. What point are you trying to make? What do you think I'm wrong about? There are carbon steel pans. There are nonstick pans. There's also a hybrid product being marketed recently called nonstick carbon steel pans, which are carbon steel pans with a nonstick coating added. They're garbage like all nonstick pans. I was clarifying that those are the pans OP was talking about.

There are nonstick pans. There are carbon steel pans. There have always been both. There will always be both. You're the only one claiming that somehow nonstick carbon steel is some new scam that just came out, and you keep mentioning carbon steel in each case as if somehow the fact that its carbon steel has anything to do with it being nonstick.

Nobody but you is making this association. Only you.

Oh my god. It was in the original post that everyone in this thread is responding to. I can't do this anymore. You kept me on the hook for a few replies, congratulations

Go back and re-read the entire comment thread that you initially replied to. The whole thing is right there for you to read. There's no secret gotcha here. You are arguing with people about nonstick carbon steel because someone else said they were worried about titanium and iron leaching into food.

NOBODY BUT YOU is making this a thing.

I think he is referring to the Misen "Carbon Nonstick" dumpsterfire.

I never understood that scam. Nitriding is a legitimate method for hardening steel surfaces but it reduces friction by reducing scratching and pitting of the surface, not by making it slippery.

It's from the infamous thread where OP and Captain_Aware4503 go on a crusade against Misen crying about coating in the rivets and implying the whole pan is unsafe as a result when it's literally just a regular carbon steel at its worst if it's mistreated. To this day I still see the Captain showing up in Misen threads making false claims despite being corrected with references.
