PFAS in the pan? What's really in your kitchen cupboard?
PFAS might sound like a codeword from a thriller, but this invisible culprit often hides right in your kitchen. Many traditional non-stick pans contain these persistent chemicals – and you’d rather not have them in your food.
The abbreviation behind the issue: what exactly is PFAS?
PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: a group of thousands of compounds that repel water, grease, and dirt. Sounds convenient, but PFAS hardly break down and accumulate in your body and the environment. Not something you want in your kitchen.
Why PFAS-free pans aren't a hype, but a necessity
PFAS have been linked to serious health issues such as hormone disruption, reduced fertility, and even cancer. All the more reason to keep these chemicals out of your kitchen. Luckily, there are safe alternatives – and at Cook & Pan, we’re thrilled about that.
How to spot a truly PFAS-free pan
- Look for clear claims: ‘PFAS-free’ should be clearly stated on the packaging or product page – no vague marketing lingo.
- Don’t stop at 'PFOA-free': PFOA is just one type of PFAS. A pan without PFOA may still contain other PFAS. Transparency is key.
- Ask for independent testing: Serious brand? Then they have proof. At Cook & Pan, we proudly share ours. View the official certificate here.
