Which pots and pans are truly PFAS-free? (And how do you know?)

PFAS in the pan? What’s actually in your kitchen cupboard?

PFAS sounds like a code word from an exciting book, but this invisible culprit is often just in your kitchen cupboard. Many traditional non-stick pots and pans contain these stubborn chemicals – and you’d rather not find them back in your food.

The abbreviation behind the problem: what exactly is PFAS?

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: a group of thousands of chemicals that repel water, fat, and dirt. Sounds handy, but PFAS hardly break down and accumulate in your body and the environment. Not a nice ingredient in your kitchen.

Why PFAS-free pots and pans aren’t a hype but a real need

PFAS are linked to serious health issues like hormone disruption, reduced fertility, and even cancer. Plenty of reason to ban these substances from your kitchen. Luckily, there are safe alternatives – and that makes us at Cook & Pan very happy.

How to recognize a truly PFAS-free pot or pan

• Watch for clear claims: ‘PFAS-free’ must be explicitly stated on the packaging or product page – no vague marketing talk.
• Look beyond 'PFOA-free': PFOA is just one of the PFAS. A pot or pan without PFOA can still contain other PFAS. Transparency is key.
• Ask for independent tests: Serious brand? Then they have proof. At Cook & Pan we share that proudly. View the official certificate here
