Unfortunately, I thought about the purchase for longer than the products held up.
A few scraped, incredibly-difficult-to-clean pots and pans later, it was back to the drawing board.
Since then, alarming research has surfaced about theplastics lurking in nonstick cookware1and potentially seeping into our food.
Along the way, I was introduced toKilnes Everything Pan.
Below, learn why I truly wish I had made this game-changing addition to my kitchen sooner.
If youve ever tried to scrape an egg off an old pan, youll know what I mean.
It makes cooking easy
The Everything Pancombines the best of both worlds.
Its made with nontoxic materials, with a unique ceramic nonstick coating.
And when I say nonstick, I meanseriouslynonstick.
Eggs slide off this smooth surface with an ease that brings me true joy.
Think that means you cant get a good sear?
Instead, use wood or silicone.
Simply wipe it down with a little soap and water and youre good to go.
The pan is dishwasher safe, but I have not tested that method.
Oh, and it heats up super fast.
The brand attributes this quickness to the ferromagnetic steel base.
What materials should be in your cookware?
Personally, thats more than enough reason for me to avoid the substance altogether.
I knew whatnotto look for, but what materialsshouldI seek out in my cookware?
Most importantly: Steer clear of any nonstick pans that are not clearly labeled as PFOA-free.
The Everything Panis made without PFOA, Teflon, nickel, or other heavy metal components.
It has a ferromagnetic steel base, stainless steel handle, and porcelain ceramic surface.
The exterior is a silicon matte lacquer and the body contains high-thickness aluminum.
