Hi, I hope it is ok to post this here! My wedding is coming up soon and we have family who would like to gift us some nice things for our cooking- our cookware is definitely due for an upgrade. Our birds aren't in the kitchen but even so, I like anything we use to be bird safe. Here I find it easy to source things that are PTFE free but not PFOA, no one seems to know about it.

Any reccomendations?! We keep being asked what we would like!

First of all, congratulations!

I think that ceramic cookware is highly reccomend, but is quite expensive (however your not paying so that doesn't matter )

ceramic is good and mostly safe but be aware, some ceramic has PFOA in it to stick the ceramic down.

really your looking for both to be safe, i found these, you may be able to source something or your looking at Stainless

Found this and then emailed the customer service about the claim, the reply below.

"Thank you for your message and I do hope you are having a lovely day.

I can confirm that the ceramic coatings do not contain PFOA or PTFE, which are toxic to birds. I would advise not to overheat the pans, as overheating could cause the pan to give off other potentially harmful toxins. We do advise to only use the pans on low-medium settings in order to maintain and preserver the coating.

I hope this resolves your query and please, feel free to contact us with any further questions.

Kind regards,

Ceramic contains no POFA or PTFF usually. However you should always check to be sure.

I have definitely seen some ceramic with PFOA so don't assume that it doesn't!

I keep trying ceramic pans but they die on me within a couple years. I much prefer my stainless steel. I also recently bought a PTFE/PFOA free copper pan and really liking that, but too early to tell the longevity.

I had a ceramic skillet for about 1 year and the coating wore off and food began sticking to it after using. I dont feel they are safe anymore. I picked out a cooking pan that is wonderful to use made from some kind of stone. It is not too heavy for me and has lasted through much use. There are 3 sizes. Plus you can now get a set of pans which is new.

Thanks everyone! I use stainless steel at the moment but could do with something bigger than what I have for bigger portion sizes maybe we'll stick to that. Don't think I'll bother with ceramic if it wears off and cast iron is too heavy for me!
