Best 'Less-Toxic' Cookware in 2023

Better-For-You Cookware of 2023

Cooking plays a major role in our everyday lives, which is why it is imperative that the products we use to cook our meals in are safe for our bodies. You might not have taken a moment to carefully inspect the materials used in your favorite frying pan, and I'm here to inform you that your healthy meal prep is rendered useless if your indirectly absorbing toxins from the cookware in your kitchen.

In this article I will be listing the best eco-friendly pots and pans made out of 100% toxin free ceramic, and stainless steel which are bound to keep your kitchen extra healthy!

What materials make a pan toxic? What are the main offenders in most toxic cookware?

  • Teflon-PTFE

Have you ever stopped to think about why non-stick pans work so well? The non-stick properties might seems like a dream come true, but there are serious toxins involved with this material. At temperatures above 500°F (260°C), Teflon coatings on nonstick cookware start to break down, releasing toxic chemicals into the air. When your body inhales these toxic fumes you become susceptible to developing Polymer fume fever

  • PFAS

Also, known as the "forever chemicals" these chemicals have a strong carbon-fluorine which makes them incapable of breaking down. This means that they remain in the environment and accumulate to the point where serious health risks beginning to be posed. PFAS are made up of a group of more than 9,000 chemicals, all of which are used in several everyday mundane products. Within this group PFOS, PFOA, and GenX are all included. A study done showed that Genx chemicals can negatively affect the health of your liver, kidneys, immune system, childrens'development, and has even been linked to cancer.

  • Toxic Ceramic coating

The ceramic glaze coating which is often found in ceramic cookware can easily chip and lead which can be found in the coating could end up being ingested via your food! Lead poisoning is a definite risk with this coating but thankfully it can be easily prevented with high quality ceramic cookware which are made of 100% toxic-free ceramic. 

  • Plastics

Plastic can be found in several cookware, kitchen utensils and containers which contain the harmful chemicals known as BFRs. Brominated flame retardants can be a health hazard as they can become released into your food when put under hot temperatures.

According to a study BFRs are not safe for pregnant women as prenatal BFR exposure in humans has been associated with signs of possible endocrine disruption, including abnormal male genitourinary development.

  • Aluminum

Most aluminum cookware is safe to use as it has been oxidized, which is a process that prevents aluminum from leaching into your food. The danger lies in products that contain pure unprocessed aluminum, which under high temperatures when cooking can result in the contamination of your food. According to a study aluminum toxicity has possibly been linked to neurological disorders such as alzheimers. 

  • Polystyrene

Otherwise known as styrofoam, this commonly found material just so happens to be the main component in the opaque white containers and utensils that are often handed out in your favorite take out. According to the U.S. National Toxicology Program, the chemical compound styrene used to make styrofoam is likely a human carcinogen.
