1. 🥘 The 18/10 stainless steel saucepan: a harmless ally
18/10 stainless steel (18% chromium, 10% nickel) is neutral, stable and durable . Unlike other materials, it does not release any toxic substances when heated, even at high temperatures.

2. 🍳 The pan without toxic coating
Say goodbye to questionable non-stick coatings containing PFAS or Teflon. At Amphitria, we select pans that are safe for your health , made from alternative materials such as:
-
Stainless steel (ideal for gripping)
-
Natural cast iron (mineral and indestructible)
-
Steel and its natural non-stick qualities
👉 These materials become naturally non-stick with good seasoning or regular use.
Care instructions: avoid thermal shock and clean with hot water only.
3. 🥄 The untreated wooden spoon
It's sometimes overlooked, but unvarnished, raw wood is one of the healthiest materials for cooking. It won't scratch your pans, won't heat up, and won't release any toxic compounds .
👉 Choose spoons made of beech, olive or cherry wood, from sustainably managed European forests .

4. 🥣 The glass or ceramic salad bowl
Plastic, even "BPA-free," can migrate into food. For your cold or warm preparations, nothing beats a salad bowl made of borosilicate glass or lead-free enameled ceramic .
