Obviously look for nice pieces, not stuff that is all scrungy looking, and then just run them through the dishwasher (or hand wash them with VERY hot water a time or two). If you still feel uncomfortable, you can get new silverware, pots & pans, and dishes pretty cheaply at Ikea, or if you shop sales at Walmart or Target. @ Angela: I understand–I am the SAME way, and always want things to be super clean.

Hi,

I read that you suggested to buy pots, pans and silverware at thrift stores, but i’m a bit skeptical about that. aren’t those things secondhand? how do you “clean” them?
