Along with eating clean ingredients, I also like cooking on clean and toxic free pots and pans. The chemicals in teflon non-stick cookware are extremely bad for you.

Luckily, there are tons of great options for toxic free and safe cookware! Here are my favorites that are all very affordable.

Cookware

I am a minimalist, and this is literally all that I have in my kitchen. And I’m a food blogger who LOVES to cook! I can get ALL of my cooking done with these few items.

  1. Lodge 12″ Cast Iron Skillet: This is hands down my most used and loved pan! I have 2. I am obsessed with them. It is made of iron, so completely non-toxic and safe. They come pre-seasoned, so you can use them straight away. It gets a great sear on meat, I use it for vegetables and stir fry’s also. I never have sticking issues. I use this pan for 90% of all my cooking. And you can’t beat that price!
  2. Greenpan Rio 8″ + 11″ Non-Stick Skillet: I use these pans for eggs, sautéing spinach, and pancakes. That’s it. Basically just things that I can’t use in the cast iron skillet. I only hand wash them, and stack them with paper towels in between so they don’t get scratched. They have a ceramic coating, which is non-toxic. They do heat quickly. I usually keep the heat level no higher than medium heat.
  3. Greenpan Rio 12″ Non-Stick Skillet: I got a 2nd slightly larger Greenpan. I prefer the 12″ and 8″ sizes the most. But you can only buy the 8″ bundled with the 11″. I use the bonus 11″ skillet when I’m making pancakes for the whole family and want to have 2 pans going.
  4. Lodge 6 Quart Dutch Oven: This is just as great as the Le Creuset dutch oven, but a fraction of the price. I use this large pot for all of my soups, braising pot roast, and any boiling. It’s enameled cast iron, so completely safe. I love the white color! It comes in other colors too. It can go in the oven too.
  5. Cuisinart Stainless Steel 3 Quart Sauce Pan: I use this sauce pan to reheat small batches of soup, or heat up marinara sauce, or do small batch boiling.
  6. Lodge 8″ Cast Iron Skillet: I have 2 of these mini little cast iron skillets. I use them to make skillet cookies or brownies, or mini creamy cauliflower rice casseroles. These aren’t essential, and I don’t use them often. But they’re so small and cute, so I hold on to them.
