Everyone needs a quality cast iron Dutch oven (or several if you’re like me!) in their kitchen.

Wondering why I love using a Staub or Le Creuset dutch oven? Well, I recommend those brands because they are high-quality enamel over cast iron which means no seasoning is required and you can soak them when cleaning. But, one of the budget-friendly Dutch ovens like the ones from Amazon or Target are good options.

The Our Place Always Pan is the one piece of non toxic cookware that earned a permanent spot on my stovetop.

I use mine to do SO much - sauté vegetables, sear chicken, simmer pasta sauce, steam rice, fry eggs, etc.

The non stick coating is PFAS free, PFOA free, PTFE free, and lead and cadmium free, so you get easy release cooking without the toxic chemicals found in older non stick pans.

If you are slowly swapping out old non stick pans for safer cookware, this is the piece I recommend starting with. Shop the Our Place Always Pan below.

Did you know that cast iron is the original non-stick skillet? If you’re worried about chemicals in nonstick pots and pans, then cast iron cookware is for you.

Brands like Lodge are more light-weight than before, and their pre-seasoned skillets mean there’s no seasoning required.

If you go with Staub or Le Creuset pots or skillets, which are enameled inside, you’ll never have to worry if someone leaves it soaking in the sink.

Pro tip: for the best scrambled eggs, match your skillet to the number of eggs you’re using. For 2-3 eggs go with an 8” skillet. For 4 or more, use a 10” skillet.
