Years ago, I thought I had my kitchen pretty well dialed in.
I thought I was doing everything right. Organic ingredients, no processed junk, reading every label. I was pretty proud of my kitchen, honestly.
But then I started digging into what's actually IN the pots and pans we cook with every day.
And honestly? I was shocked.
Turns out, toxic cookware isn't just about Teflon.
There are 5 major toxins hiding in everyday cookware that most people have no idea about:
- PFAS & PTFE (aka "forever chemicals") – Found in non-stick pans, linked to cancer and hormone disruption
- Aluminum – Leaches into acidic foods like tomato sauce, linked to Alzheimer's
- Unlined Copper – Can cause nausea, vomiting, liver damage
- Lead-Glazed Ceramic – Especially dangerous for kids' brain development
- Cadmium – Carcinogenic, causes kidney and bone damage
Here's what really got me:
95% of Americans have detectable levels of PFAS in their blood – mostly from contaminated food and cookware.
Teflon-coated pans can release toxic fumes in just 2-5 minutes when heated above 500°F. These fumes are so toxic they can kill pet birds and cause flu-like symptoms in humans.
That's why I put together a free guide called Toxic Cookware Exposed – to help you understand what's really in your kitchen and what to do about it.
Inside, I'm revealing:
- The 5 hidden toxins in cookware and where they're found
- 3 simple DIY tests to check if YOUR cookware is safe
- Red flags to watch for when shopping for new cookware
- The safest cookware materials (and the brand I trust in my own kitchen)

P.S. Even if you think you're using "safe" cookware, I recommend doing the 3 DIY tests in the guide. The scratch test alone opened my eyes to how damaged some of my old pans really were. Download the free guide here.
