Why cooking without PFAS is not difficult (but smart)

PFAS sounds chemical – because it is

Imagine this: you’re frying an egg in a pan that looks great at first glance. No problem, right? Until you find out that pan is full of PFAS – the forever chemicals that are anything but welcome in your kitchen cabinet (or your body). These substances don’t just break down and build up in your body and the environment. Long story short: better not in your omelet.

Healthy cooking starts with your pan

You watch your ingredients, choose organic where you can, but what if your pan itself is the culprit? Many traditional non-stick frying pans contain PFAS – even if you only cook on low heat. Time to take a good look at your cookware.

Cooking PFAS-free is easier than you think

You really don’t have to be a chef or chemist to avoid PFAS. The secret? Just choose the right pan. Think of stainless steel pots and pans, cast iron or ceramic. They don’t use toxic coatings but do deliver crispy edges and golden egg yolks.

PFAS is everywhere – even in your egg

According to the RIVM, eggs from backyard chickens can contain PFAS. Yep, even your garden chickens struggle with that stuff in the soil. Luckily, supermarket eggs are perfectly fine to keep eating – as long as you fry them in a pan with a clean conscience.

Choosing a pan without PFAS? Go for character

At Cook & Pan we believe a pan should not only be functional but also have character. Our stainless steel and cast iron pots and pans are free of harmful substances and look ridiculously good on your stove. Whether you’re making a fried egg or shakshuka with a story – your pan deserves to be seen.

How to fry an egg without guilt

1. Buy PFAS-free eggs, so not from backyard chickens but just from the supermarket.
2. Grab a PFAS-free pan: stainless steel, ceramic or cast iron – all heroes in your kitchen.
3. Grease it with some love (and oil): a drop of olive oil or a knob of butter works wonders.
4. Let the heat do its job: but keep it cozy – medium heat is more than enough.
5. Let go of what sticks: cook calmly and trust your pan – the egg will release itself when it’s ready.
