The PFAS Problem in Our Kitchens

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA, PFOS, and GenX. They are used in non-stick coatings because they resist heat, oil, and water.

Top 3 Safe Alternatives

• Cast Iron: Naturally non-stick when seasoned and lasts a lifetime.
• Stainless Steel: The professional choice—durable and non-reactive.
• 100% Ceramic: (Note: Not ceramic-coated) Truly inert and heat resistant.

Making the switch doesn't have to be expensive. Start by replacing your most-used pan and gradually move away from non-stick coatings as they become scratched or worn.
