Ever since we were alerted by the FDA to keep a close watch on PFAs (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) in our food preparation items, there has been a high demand for non-toxic cookware. PFAs in cookware can cause health hazards by leeching harmful chemicals into our food and emanating toxic fumes on being heated that could lead to respiratory problems. It is all the more important to know what goes into making your cooking pots and pans as the ones readily and cheaply available in the market have coatings (Teflon, for instance) that are toxic and unhealthy.
We have here a list of things that you should look for in the constitution of the safest non-toxic cookware available on the market.
- Cast iron and enameled cast iron
- Stainless and carbon steel
- Glass
- Pure ceramic
- Ceramic coated
You should avoid products with the following things on their labels.
- PFAs (like PFOA, PFOS, GenX, etc.)
- Teflon
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Lead
