If you only make one change in your kitchen, this is the one I’d start with. Traditional non-stick cookware is often made with PFAS (sometimes called “forever chemicals”), which can break down over time, especially when exposed to high heat or scratches. That breakdown can transfer to your food and has been linked to hormone disruption and other long-term health concerns. Once I understood that, continuing to cook with my old, worn non-stick pans just didn’t sit right with me. I switched to ceramic-coated cookware, specifically Caraway brand, and I’ve been really happy with it. Food cooks evenly, nothing sticks, and cleanup is genuinely easy. I use the mini fry pan almost daily for eggs, and their saute pan is the perfect size for dinners. They perform better than any non-stick pan I’ve owned, without the chemical concerns, and bonus – they look beautiful in my kitchen too. They’re hand wash only, but I’ve never put cookware in the dishwasher anyway, so that wasn’t a drawback for me. If you’re starting from scratch, the 12- or 16-piece cookware set can save money and comes with storage that keeps everything organized. Or you can build your collection slowly like I did, adding one piece at a time for birthdays or holidays. One thing worth noting is that ceramic-coated pans are best used over low to medium heat, which honestly covers the majority of everyday cooking. But if I’m doing a high-heat sear on a steak or something similar, I’ll reach for a stainless steel pan instead. LTKHome
