Is a ceramic pan PFAS-free? Everything you need to know

What exactly is a ceramic pan?

A common misconception: a ceramic pan would be made entirely of ceramic. Nope. At Cook & Pan, we make ceramic pots and pans from aluminum with a smart ceramic non-stick coating. Why aluminum? Because it heats up super fast, feels light in your hand, and lasts a long time. And that ceramic layer? It makes sure you can cook without sticking and without harmful substances.

Our Coating: three layers of smart design

All ceramic pots and pans from Cook & Pan have a three-layer ceramic non-stick coating. No PFAS, no PTFE, no PFOA. Just a healthy, eco-friendly coating made from natural materials. Three layers that provide extra scratch resistance, heat resistance, and non-stick power. So you can flip your pancakes with confidence, no spatula stress.

Wait a minute… ceramic pan or ceramic cooktop?

Let’s clear things up in the kitchen: a ceramic cooktop is something very different from a ceramic pan. A ceramic cooktop is an electric stove with a smooth, shiny surface. The pan you put on it doesn’t have to be ceramic, but it does need to be suitable for it.

Our ceramic pots and pans work perfectly on a ceramic cooktop. But they’re also right at home on gas, electric, and halogen. Do you have an induction hob? Then it’s important that your pan has a magnetizable base. Of course, we have suitable models for that in our collection as well.

What are PFAS and why do you want to avoid them?

PFAS are synthetic substances often used in non-stick coatings. They repel water, fat, and dirt, but hardly break down. Not in the environment, and not in your body either. That’s why they’re also called ‘forever chemicals.’ And forever isn’t so positive in this case. Think of PFOA and PTFE: well-known PFAS you’d rather not see on your plate.

Is there PFAS in ceramic pots and pans?

Not in quality ceramic pots and pans like ours. Our coating is completely PFAS-free and made from natural materials. No toxic fumes, no chemical residues. Just peace of mind with every dish. Keep in mind: the word ‘ceramic’ is not protected. Not every ceramic pan is automatically PFAS-free. So always double-check.

Is a ceramic pan safe?

Yes, as long as you choose a PFAS-free version, you’re good to go. Our pots and pans contain no harmful substances, can handle high temperatures well, and don’t emit nasty fumes. Even if you get distracted for a bit (we’re not pointing fingers). Plus, they’re sturdy, scratch-resistant, and designed to last a long time.

How do you recognize a PFAS-free pan?

Not all claims are equally clear. Here’s how to spot a truly safe ceramic pan:

• Check the label: look for “PFAS-free,” “PFOA-free,” or “PTFE-free.” If it’s there, you’re good.
• Pay attention to the coating: ceramic coatings are often light in color and smooth in texture. Our non-stick, for example, has a matte, soft finish that feels nice and performs well.
• Avoid vague terms: “eco” or “green” without explanation? Ask yourself what that means.

The benefits of ceramic cooking

Cooking with a ceramic pan is not only safer but also just more practical. Less oil needed, no sticky messes, easy to clean, and no worries about chemicals. Sounds good? We think so too.

Does a ceramic pan last long?

Absolutely, if you treat it with a little love. Prefer wooden or silicone spatulas, let it cool before washing, and avoid abrasive sponges. Treat your pan with respect, and you’ll enjoy cooking with it for years.
