Questions?
We Have Answers.
How safe is your non-stick coating?
Our ceramic non-stick is made from inorganic natural ingredients which are all 100% safe to use in contact with all foods (and FDA approved). Plus, the absence of potentially dangerous chemicals like PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead, and cadmium means that there is no chance of harmful materials leaching into your food, even if you accidentally scratch or overheat your pan.
Is stainless steel safe for food? What about chromium and nickel?
Stainless steel is widely regarded as one of the safest cooking materials! The addition of chromium and nickel provide important benefits such as increased corrosion resistance & durability, and won’t affect your food in any harmful way.
If you have a nickel or chromium allergy, we recommend not using this cookware.
How do I care for my cutting boards?
To extend each board's longevity, apply mineral oil with a clean cloth once a month. Let oil set for a few hours before wiping dry with a cloth. For an extra shine, apply food-grade beeswax once dry. Never use vegetable or nut-based oils on your board.
How do I disinfect my boards?
To disinfect stains, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice onto your boards with a sprinkle of kosher salt, using the lemon to rub the mixture across the entire area. Once dry, gently scrape off. Alternatively, use a solution of 25% distilled white vinegar and 75% water. Never use bleach or baking soda on your boards!
