Listen, I hate to break it to you, but most of the cookware on the market is full of chemicals. Chemicals that leech out of the pan into our food as we use it. Then we end up eating chemical-laden food. Because of this, we should aim to use only the best possible non toxic cookware in our kitchen.

Two chemicals to be wary of are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), used in non-stick coatings on plenty of pans available for purchase. PFOA, mainly, is used to make Teflon pans.

Although the effects of long-term exposure to these chemicals are largely unknown, there have been studies that show these chemicals can be cancer-causing. So, without further ado, here are 2022’s top 10 best non-toxic cookware options.

2022’s Top 10 Best Non Toxic Cookware

1. The Always Pan

The bad boy is perfectly named, perfectly designed, and perfectly beautiful. It is a 10-inch skillet with a 2.7-inch depth. The 2.6-quart capacity makes it the perfect size for your everyday cooking needs. Of course, it is PTFE and PFOA free. We got the Always Pan and absolutely love it. Not only is it healthy for you, but it is also super easy to clean.

Plus, making this pan even better, it comes with a modular lid, a nesting spatula with a natural mineral oil finish, and a nesting steamer basket for all your steaming needs. It even has a non-toxic, non-stick ceramic coating. It’s the perfect pan to cook up all my favorites from Omaha Steaks in.

Furthermore, this pan is available for purchase in four beautiful colors:

• Spice (a sienna-y burnt orange)
• Steam (a beige-y gray)
• Char (a classic black)
• Sage (a soft sage green)

2. Lodge 8-Inch Cast Iron Dual Handle Pan– My #1 Choice Non-toxic Cookware

Cast iron is safe for cooking. Plus, Lodge cast iron pans come pre-seasoned, making them more convenient when cooking than other cast iron pans. This dual-handle pan is easy to lift and doubles as a lovely serving piece.

Plus, with all Lodge cast iron, you can expect even, consistent cooking. They are known for their superior heat distribution and retention. And, not only are these safe pans to cook with, Lodge is an eco-responsible company.

I make my Keto Nachos in a cast-iron skillet and they are unbeatable! Be sure to try them out if you go with this pan.

3. Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven

A non-toxic cookware alternative to traditional cast iron is enamel-covered cast iron. The benefit being that enamel-covered cast iron doesn’t need to be seasoned. Plus, the enamel-covering doesn’t react with any food, meaning it is entirely non-toxic. That’s precisely the case for Le Creuset’s Dutch ovens.

Still, this one is better than their other Dutch ovens because of the 7.25-inch depth that adds 20% more capacity, without taking up more stovetop space. The interior enamel has a glass-like finish that creates a non-toxic, stick-preventing, stain-resistant surface.
