Everything You Need to Know

Questions before you cook?

Short, honest answers to the questions that decide whether this is the right piece for your kitchen.

Is stainless steel safe for high heat?

Yes. Stainless steel is highly heat-resistant and performs well at high temperatures, making it ideal for searing, browning, and everyday cooking.

Does food stick to stainless steel?

Stainless steel can stick if used incorrectly, but with proper preheating and a small amount of oil, it becomes naturally stick-resistant and performs extremely well.

How do you prevent food from sticking?

Preheat the pan, then add oil before cooking. Allow food to cook undisturbed for a short time — it will naturally release when ready.

Is stainless steel cookware non-toxic?

Yes. Stainless steel is one of the safest cookware materials available. It contains no PFAS, no coatings, and no harmful chemicals, making it a reliable choice for non-toxic cooking.

Does stainless steel contain PFAS or Teflon?

No. Stainless steel cookware is completely free from PFAS, Teflon, and chemical coatings. It’s a pure, non-toxic cooking surface.
