                                While concerns exist about nickel and chromium leaching from brand-new stainless steel cookware, studies show this effect diminishes significantly after the first few uses. The debate over what's healthier, stainless steel or cast iron, extends beyond initial leaching to consider maintenance, iron content, and food reactivity.
