E! Illustration/Our PlaceHave you heard the buzz about PFAS? If you’ve been trying to avoid “forever chemicals” in your kitchen, and are ready to replace some of your old cookware, there are so many options out there that make excellent upgrades.
So what does PFAS-free cookware even mean? The pots and pans (below) have been made without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, engineered chemicals that are known for their nonstick properties that don’t break down quickly, hence the forever name.
Luckily, there are nonstick cookware brands that not only make things a breeze, but they’re also made without PFAS. Made of ceramic, stainless steel and more, all of these brands are also either running Labor Day Sales right now or have discounted bundle offerings across cookware and bakeware pieces, so there’s truly never been a better time to upgrade!
