Low Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Non-stick cookware coatings (PTFE/Teflon and PFAS-based coatings) release toxic fumes when overheated and shed microplastics into food during normal cooking. PFAS are detected in blood samples of 97% of Americans.

Why We Recommend This Product

Staub's enameled cast iron Dutch oven is one of the safest and most durable cookware options available. The enamel coating is completely inert — no PFAS, no PTFE, no leaching. A well-maintained enameled cast iron piece lasts generations.
