Sauté pan without PFAS

Sauté pan without PFAS: what that means

A sauté pan without PFAS at Cook & Pan is a sauté pan with no PFAS, PFOA or PTFE anywhere. Our sauté pans have a smooth ceramic non-stick coating made of silicon oxide, on a light aluminium body or on sturdy stainless steel from the Honey line. So you fry, braise and simmer without worrying about synthetic polymers in your food.

What is PFAS and why choose a sauté pan without PFAS?

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of synthetic chemicals used since the 1940s in things like non-stick coatings, water-repellent clothing and food packaging. The best known is Teflon (PTFE). PFAS barely breaks down in the environment and builds up in people and animals. You use a sauté pan almost every day for pasta, risotto and saucy stews, so a non-stick coating without PFAS is a logical choice.

How does a non-stick coating without PFAS work?

Our ceramic non-stick coating is made of silicon oxide, a mineral also found in sand and glass. It is applied to the pan at high temperature and cured into a smooth, hard layer. No plastic and no polymer, so nothing from the coating ends up in your food.

Care: how to keep your sauté pan smooth for longer

Let the pan cool before rinsing, use wooden or silicone spatulas and avoid steel wool or scouring pads. A soft sponge with mild washing-up liquid is enough. The pan can go in the dishwasher, but washing by hand keeps the ceramic coating looking good for longer.

Our sauté pans come with a 7-year warranty on manufacturing and material defects and a 2-year warranty on the performance of the ceramic coating. Want to try a pan first?
