You think these non nickel stainless pans would be ok or would they leach other stuff? Downside is they’re heavy
No free lunch.
Need to determine what the alloy blend is exactly. Nickel is what makes stainless so durable, and without it it's brittle.
This design looks bad functionally, but a no nickel stainless in concept is very attractive from a health perspective.
Nickel doesn't belong in the body at any quantity, and now data is starting to show it disrupts hormones, especially women's. Not surprising.

"Our stainless steel is classed as "non-nickel" ferritic stainless. While we avoid the high-nickel austenitic stainless common in most cookware (which typically contains 8–10% nickel), our pans may contain around 0.6% nickel due to trace contamination during crucible smelting. This level is considered negligible and is standard for non-nickel classification."
"Solidteknics pans contain 0% aluminium. We also avoid aluminium or copper core layers used in clad cookware, which often rely on welds, rivets, and multiple joins that don’t match our standards for seamless durability."
Not enough info.
This might have something...
Looks like they use 18/0 ferritic stainless, which is 18% chromium 0% nickel.
Grok estimates 10s of mcg of chromium leaching per meal, which is fine as chromium is an essential trace mineral (unlike nickel) to which a can tolerate as much as 1000mcg a day.
This is actually... Promising.
