Here's how to swap to non-toxic saute pans:
The cooking surface of your sauté pan is in direct contact with your food, often at high heat. That makes the material it's made from one of the most important factors in choosing a safe pan. Some coatings and materials can release unwanted chemicals into your food during everyday cooking.
Look at what your current sauté pan is made of, especially the interior cooking surface. This is usually listed on the bottom of the pan, the original packaging, or the product page where you bought it.
If you're not ready to replace your pan right away, how you use it can make a difference. Avoiding very high heat and keeping the cooking surface in good condition are the simplest changes you can make.
Look for pans made from safe, non-reactive materials like stainless steel, cast iron, or hard anodized aluminum. If you prefer nonstick, choose ceramic-coated pans that have been tested free of lead, cadmium, and all PFAS chemicals.
