Why you will only want to cook in PFAS-free pots and pans in 2026

We’re taking a sneak peek into the future of healthy cooking. 2026 will be the year when your kitchenware isn’t just stylish and sturdy, but above all: PFAS-free. Why? Because you cook consciously. Because you know what ends up on your plate and what it’s made with. Time for a deep dive into the PFAS-free pots and pans trends. Let’s go clean, cook & conscious!

PFAS in the pan – what’s actually inside?

PFAS, or poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, are chemical compounds that were used for years in non-stick coatings. Handy? Yes. Healthy? Not really. These substances are notorious for their almost unbreakable structure – and their tendency to accumulate in your body. Not exactly the kind of ‘extra flavor’ you’re looking for while cooking.

PFAS-free pots and pans as the new standard

PFAS-free pots and pans aren’t a hype, they’re the new norm. More and more home cooks (and top chefs!) are banning these substances from the kitchen. Because let’s be honest: cooking with peace of mind just tastes better. And if you also have a pan that looks fantastic? Win-win!

Health comes first

Conscious cooking starts with conscious choices. PFAS-free pots and pans make sure you don’t unintentionally serve harmful substances. They’re safe at high temperatures, leave no mess in your food, and give you full control over what actually happens in your pan.

PFAS-free pots and pans trends to watch

• Cast iron charm: Sturdy, timeless and PFAS-free. Cast iron is back and never really left.
• Stainless steel revival: Stainless steel is hot – literally. Perfect for crispy crusts and healthy meals without coatings.
• Aluminum with attitude: Lightweight and PFAS-free coated. Ideal for quick cooks with a stylish edge.

What makes a pan PFAS-free?

Let’s keep it simple: no Teflon, no mysterious chemical layers, no worries. PFAS-free pots and pans use alternative coatings like ceramic or natural materials that are safe for you and the planet.

PFAS-free cooking in practice

• Heat at the right temperature: PFAS-free pots and pans are often more sensitive to overheating – start on medium heat.
• Use a little fat: Even without a non-stick coating you can cook wonderfully, as long as you add a drop of oil or a knob of butter.
• Clean with care: No harsh scouring pads, just warm water and a soft brush work wonders.
