- Educated consumers know that even "teflon-free" cookware has its problems, and isn't free of forever chemicals that degrade at high heat.
Ceramic coated non-stick cookware seems to be a green alternative, but even these products have doubters.
We have received several reader questions lately about at-home tests by a prominent blogger that purport to show lead contamination in Caraway cookware, a brand that makes PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE pots, pans, and skillets.
Is any cookware truly non-toxic? In this video, we lay out the hierarchy of safe cookware to help readers choose brands that match with their preferred level of risk of contamination.
As things stand, there’s no evidence that Caraway cookware will leach toxic heavy metals into food. In fact, there’s robust evidence that the ceramic coating doesn’t leach heavy metals and doesn’t contain lead or cadmium. For us, certified laboratory testing carries greater weight than handheld XRF testing of used cookware by one (albeit well-intentioned and well-regarded!) researcher.
Having said that, a good old fashioned cast iron skillet is the safest option for readers who want 100% certainty that no toxic elements have made their way into cookware.
Here is our latest blog on Caraway: www.leafscore....
So glad I stumbled upon this. Having friends and family members who have been touched by cancer and then other family and friends who are now trying to be more conscientious when it comes to eating healthier and choosing the right cookware & bakeware is so important. It’s sad that someone in the industry created something that exposes us to toxic chemicals. We must know and understand what we are exposing ourselves to. Thank you for the great information.
I'm so shocked that this video has so few views. It's so hard to find pans
Very informative video. Thank you so much.
Cast iron is said to be best but that's for a pan. How about bakeware like cookie sheets, bakeware etc. I'm also surprised Le Creuset non stick is a problem. What I took away from this is that Caraway is the best option though it may need to be replaced every few years. Thoughts?
Maybe I'm just a lucky guy to live over 60 years and using Telfon coated similar cookwares in my whole life.
First, I can't understand why the governments in the whole world do not ban all the usage of floro-chemicals over tens of years in case those chemicals are simply as "TOXIC" as you all descript?
Can you provide historical data in the past tens years how the number of cancer patients are increasing and directly related to your studies?
Empty talks are not convincing... Thanks!
What about stainless steel cookware??? Not even on the list
stainless steel is not non-stick
