Wok pan PFAS free: a healthier choice

When looking for a good wok, it is important to choose a wok without PFAS. PFAS is a much discussed topic in the kitchen world and that is not without reason. PFAS stands for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances . These are chemicals that are sometimes found in the non-stick coatings of woks, among other things. This chemical can be released when the pan is overheated and can be harmful to your health and the environment . So you don't want this in your wok!

Choose a healthy non-stick coating :

The healthy alternative is a wok with a ceramic non-stick coating . At Cook and Pan we have developed our own safe non-stick coating: GreenShield. This consists of multiple layers of ceramic, which is very smooth. This allows your dishes to slide smoothly through the pan and not stick. Ceramic is pure mother nature and therefore safe and healthy.

Different types of woks

If you want to buy a wok, it is important that you choose a wok that suits you. This mainly depends on your cooking style, family situation, budget and functionalities. For example, will you go for the stainless steel wok Honey , or would you rather choose an aluminium Wok from the Signature collection ? At Cook and Pan we would like to take you through the most important aspects in which you can classify a wok:

• Material: When choosing a wok, there are two common types of materials to consider: aluminum and stainless steel (SS). Aluminum is known for its excellent heat conductivity, light weight, and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is more durable and can withstand extreme heat better, such as an open fire. In general, an aluminum wok is the most commonly used.
• With or without non-stick coating: A good non-stick coating is nice when stir-frying. Wok pans are available with and without non-stick coating. Both options are fine, but a wok pan without a non-stick coating requires a bit more maintenance, such as seasoning . If you opt for a non-stick coating, always go for ceramic.
• Size: Wokking is best done with a larger size, for example a 30 cm wok. Do you expect to wok for several people? Then a 32 cm wok is a good alternative. These are available with and without a lid .

Not just a wok, complete the whole set:

Unity in your kitchen? That starts with pans that have the same look. In addition to woks, our collection also offers pan sets , frying pans , roasting pans , saucepans and sauté pans . This way you always go for style and quality!
