Here's what we look for:
- Materials like stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, and copper
- 100% PFAS-free nonstick coatings, with ceramic tested for heavy metals
- Aluminum only if it’s hard anodized, ceramic-coated, or safely encased in stainless
- No plastic in contact with food (but we avoid it wherever possible)
- Full material transparency from brands we trust

How to Swap to Non-Toxic cookware sets:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic cookware sets:
What to know about cookware sets
The materials your pots and pans are made of can affect what ends up in your food. Cookware sits directly on heat and touches your meals during cooking, so what it's made of and how it's coated matters more than most kitchen products.
- Welpr focuses on non-reactive materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and tested ceramic that won't leach into food during heating.
- Nonstick coatings are a key concern — many contain PFAS, a large family of synthetic chemicals, even when marketed as PTFE-free.
Review the cookware you already use
Check what your current pots, pans, and lids are made of. Look at the bottom of each piece, the original packaging, or the brand's website for material details.
- If you have nonstick cookware, look for whether the brand confirms it is free of all PFAS — not just PTFE or Teflon — since many alternatives still use other chemicals in the PFAS family.
- Start with the pieces you cook with most often or at the highest heat, like your daily skillet or saucepan, since those have the most food contact.
Get more from your current cookware
If you're not ready to replace everything, a few simple habits can reduce what transfers from your cookware into food. Small changes in how you cook can make a real difference while you transition over time.
- Avoid cooking on high heat with nonstick pans — lower temperatures reduce the chance of coatings breaking down, and never use scratched or chipped nonstick pieces.
- Use wooden, bamboo, or silicone utensils instead of metal on coated pans to keep the cooking surface intact.
Choose cleaner replacements
When it's time for new cookware, focus on sets made from stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic that has been tested free of lead and cadmium. These materials are durable, non-reactive, and won't break down into your food over time.
- Be cautious of vague claims like "green" or "eco-friendly" nonstick — look for cookware that specifically states it is free of all PFAS, not just PTFE, and check that plastic parts like handles or lids don't touch your food.
