Why Cooking Without PFAS Isn’t Hard (But It Is Smart)

PFAS sounds chemical – because it is

Imagine this: you're frying an egg in a pan that looks perfectly fine at first glance. No worries, right? Until you realize that pan is full of PFAS – the forever chemicals that have no place in your kitchen cabinet (or your body). These substances don't break down easily and build up in your body and the environment. Long story short: not something you want in your omelet.

Healthy cooking starts with your pan

You watch your ingredients, choose organic when you can – but what if your pan is the real culprit? Many traditional non-stick pans contain PFAS – even when you’re only using low heat. Time to take a closer look at your cookware.

Cooking without PFAS is easier than you think

You don’t need to be a chef or a chemist to avoid PFAS. The secret? Just pick the right pan. Think stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic. They don’t use toxic coatings – but they do deliver crispy edges and golden yolks.

PFAS is everywhere – even in your egg

According to the RIVM, eggs from backyard chickens can contain PFAS. Yep, even your own hens are struggling with contaminated soil. The good news? You can still enjoy supermarket eggs – 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 be more than functional – it should have character. Our stainless steel and cast iron pans are free from harmful substances *and* look ridiculously good on your stove. Whether you’re frying an egg or whipping up a story-worthy shakshuka – your pan deserves to be seen.

This is how you fry an egg without the guilt

1. Buy PFAS-free eggs – so not from backyard chickens, but straight from the supermarket.
2. Grab a PFAS-free pan: stainless steel, ceramic, or cast iron – all heroes in the kitchen.
3. Give it a little love (and oil): a drop of olive oil or a knob of butter works wonders.
4. Let the heat do its thing: but keep it chill – medium is more than enough.
5. Let go of what sticks: fry slowly and trust your pan – the egg will release when it's ready.
