Lose Weight With Great Food

Safe, non-toxic cookware we love

Healthy food deserves healthy pans. These are popular, well-reviewed picks made from materials that don't rely on PFAS ("forever chemical") coatings: stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel, ceramic and glass.

Quick safety tips: Skip pans with scratched or flaking nonstick coatings. Don't heat any nonstick pan empty or on high heat. Use wooden or silicone utensils on coated pans. For acidic foods like tomato sauce, stainless steel, enameled cast iron or glass are your best bets.

Stainless steel

Durable, non-reactive and coating-free. Great for searing chicken, sautéing shrimp and pan sauces like piccata and francese.
