Pots & Pans

What are the best pots and pans to use if you want to avoid the nasty chemicals PTFE (Teflon), PFOA and PFAS? It’s not surprising that nonstick frying pans outsell all other types by a considerable margin. They’re easy to use and clean, and well-priced. But the nonstick coatings don’t last forever. Most nonstick pans have to be replaced every few years, which adds to the waste stream.


Included in the best options are cast iron and stainless steel, but carbon steel can also be included. Both cast iron and carbon steel require seasoning or oiling and stainless steel can be hard to clean, needing an oil or fat during cooking (difficult to cook eggs and fish in them).
