Microplastics in your cookware? Why you need to change your cookware for a healthier future!

A pinch of salt, a splash of olive oil and… microplastics? Hold on. That last one wasn’t in your recipe, was it? Yet there’s a good chance you’re unknowingly cooking with plastic if you use a pot or pan that’s past its best. Time to lay the truth on the table about microplastics in the kitchen and what you can do about it.

What exactly are microplastics

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles smaller than five millimetres. You can’t see them, you can’t smell them, but they can end up in your food. How? Simple. Some pots and pans with cheap non-stick coatings, like Teflon, wear down slowly and release small particles when heated. And those end up on your plate. Not exactly the finishing touch you’re after.

Why microplastics are a problem

Small particles, big worries. Microplastics can cause inflammation, disrupt your hormone balance and damage your organs. Researchers are only just beginning to unravel all the effects, but one thing is clear: you’d rather not have them in your bolognese.

How to avoid plastic in your pasta

The pot or pan you use makes the difference. Choose safe materials without toxic coatings, and you’re on the right track. And that’s exactly what we at Cook & Pan stand for. No strange layers, no chemical circus. Just sturdy pots and pans that do what they should, without cooking along with plastic rubbish.

Our promise: pots and pans without plastic surprises

At Cook & Pan we make kitchen tools that are not only beautiful but also completely free of harmful substances. PTFE and PFOA? Not in our pots and pans. Instead, we use materials like cast iron, stainless steel and high-quality aluminium. Safe, durable and stylish. A trio that makes you happy every day.

Why choose cookware without microplastics

Besides doing your body a big favour, you also help reduce plastic pollution. Durable pots and pans last longer, don’t release anything and are also a joy to look at. What more could you want? A pot or pan that feels good and does good.

How to spot a pot or pan that releases plastic

Prevention is easier than cleaning up. Watch out for these signs:

• A non-stick coating that flakes or looks dull
• No clear material information on the packaging
• Vague terms like ‘non-stick’ without explanation
• Ingredients like PTFE or PFOA in the product info

When in doubt: leave it be. Or better yet, go straight for a pot or pan from Cook & Pan. Then you know you’re in good hands.

Stainless steel, aluminium or cast iron: what suits you

No stress about choosing, we’ll guide you:

• Stainless steel: durable material without synthetic non-stick layers. With a multi-layered base it ensures even heat distribution and is suitable for daily use in any kitchen.
• Aluminium: light to handle and heats up quickly. Ideal for weekday cooking without fuss.
• Cast iron: sturdy, heavy and a real heat champion. Perfect for stews or a crispy crust on your steak.

Whichever you choose, with Cook & Pan you’re always free of microplastics and confident in the kitchen.

Microplastics versus ceramic pots and pans

Did you know ceramic pots and pans are a popular alternative to traditional non-stick coatings? They contain no PFAS or PTFE and are therefore a conscious choice for healthy cooking. Our ceramic collection combines safety with a fresh look. Healthy cooking has never been so stylish.

Time to say goodbye to the plastic pot or pan

Your kitchen deserves better. You deserve better. Say goodbye to dubious coatings and hello to pots and pans that match your style and values. Choose Cook & Pan and give yourself the joy of carefree cooking. Without plastic, with passion.
