It Doesn’t Matter How Healthy You Eat If Your Cookware Is Toxic

Editor’s Pick: Signature Series Set

This cookware set looks like durable cast iron, but it’s actually made with pure ceramic, meaning it doesn’t leach heavy metals or unwanted toxins into food when heated. It’s free of Teflon, PFOA, PFAS, non-stick coatings, and a metal core. It can withstand extreme temperatures such as those on the stove, grill, campfire, microwave, and dishwasher, making it both versatile and convenient. Per Gundry, just make sure to use wooden utensils, so you don’t accidentally melt plastic into your meal.

Editor’s Pick: Ultimate Cookware Set

Another cookware company that rose to fame on social media, Our Place aims to replace all your cookware/bakeware needs with just a few staple items that kill multiple birds with one stone. We’re talking a sautee pan with a steamer basket insert, a deep base for boiling pasta, and more. Sure, you could get away with buying its most popular product—the Always Pan 2.0—and nothing else. But its Ultimate Cookware Set is a bit more practical, especially when cooking, or baking, multiple items at once. The brand uses a toxin-free non-stick ceramic coating made without PTFEs, PFOAs, other PFAS, lead, and cadmium, and a sleek matte ceramic outer shell that handles wear-and-tear like a pro. If you’re constantly cooking on the stovetop and have a sheet of chicken in the oven multiple times a week, this non-toxic cookware set is the one for you.
