How toxic is your pan, really?

Your nonstick pan might still look fine. That's deceiving.
Nonstick is convenient. Almost all of us cook with it.
But the coating can't handle real heat. Past 480°F it starts to break down, the exact heat a steak needs for a proper sear. Add scratches from your spatula, the dishwasher, plain age. Sooner or later the coating gives out. That's physics, not your fault.
Then tiny particles flake off. They carry PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals. Researchers detect them in food even when the pan still looks fine. They build up in your body over the years and have been linked to a range of health problems.
You thought stainless steel was safe. Not quite.
When it gets hot and scratched, stainless steel leaches chromium and nickel. These metals build up in your body over the years.
Cast iron rusts faster than you think.
Cast iron reacts with acidic foods like tomatoes and wine. If you don't dry and season it right away, it rusts and sheds metal particles.
Ceramic coatings chip and crack over time.
Ceramic pans only have a thin surface coating. Over time it chips and cracks. The bare aluminum underneath gets exposed and ends up in your food.
Who do you cook for most often?
Whatever leaches out of your pan ends up in your body.
Every time you cook, toxins from the pan can get into your food, and from there into your body. And into the bodies of the people you cook for.
This stuff doesn't just go away. It builds up in your body over time.
Analyzing how safe your kitchen really is...
We're looking at how often you cook, how hot you go, how long you keep your pans, and what you're cooking on.

What can end up in your body:
- ⚠️ PFAS (forever chemicals)
- ☢️ Heavy metals
- ⚡ Metal particles that flake off
- 🗑 Bits of coating
This quiz is not a substitute for medical advice.
Here's the pan that matches your answers.
Why your next pan won't fix this either.
- Nonstick pans have coatings that break down
- Ceramic also has a surface coating
- Cast iron reacts with acidic foods
- Stainless steel leaches chromium and nickel under heat
As long as you're cooking on a surface that reacts chemically, that stuff ends up in your food.
What we recommend.
