Bakeware

Baking dishes and pans in glass, stainless steel, cast iron and ceramic, without PFAS nonstick coatings.

Glass and uncoated metal offer a lasting alternative to coated baking pans. For glazed ceramics, we give preference to lead and cadmium testing rather than an unsubstantiated lead-free claim. Temperature limits and care requirements also matter when choosing a dish for baking, broiling or reheating.
