Cookware

Cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel are the three materials that perform well and carry no PFAS risk. Choose based on your cooking style and budget.

Budget

Lodge 10.25" Cast Iron Skillet

~£25 / $30

The most affordable non-toxic cookware option available. Virtually indestructible, naturally non-stick when seasoned, lasts generations.

Why we recommend it

Zero PFAS. No coatings. Works on all hob types. The Lodge brand has been making cast iron since 1896.

Mid-range

Solidteknics AUS-ION Carbon Steel Pan

~£85 / $100

Lighter than cast iron, heats faster and more evenly, PFAS-free and made without synthetic coatings.

Budget

Reduces chlorine, heavy metals and sediment. A good starting point but does not remove PFAS or fluoride.

Why we recommend it

Widely available, low upfront cost. Best for reducing taste and basic contaminants in areas with good water quality.

Mid-range

NSF-certified to remove 365 or more contaminants including PFAS, pharmaceuticals and heavy metals.

Why we recommend it

The best-performing pitcher filter available. NSF certification provides independent verification, unlike most pitchers.

Premium

Why we recommend it

Budget

~£15 / $18

Borosilicate glass, BPA-free lids. Note: lids are plastic, so use for cold storage only or transfer before heating.

Why we recommend it

Budget

~£6 / $7

FSC-certified bamboo handle, BPA-free soft bristles, biodegradable packaging. Direct replacement for plastic toothbrushes.

Why we recommend it

Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral that makes up tooth enamel. A meaningful alternative to fluoride for those who prefer it, backed by clinical research.

Dish Brushes and Kitchen Sponges

Kitchen sponges are among the most microplastic-heavy items in the home. They shed fibres into dishwater, onto dishes and into food. Natural alternatives are more hygienic and last longer.

Budget

Full Circle Bubble Up Dish Brush

~£8 / $9

Recycled plastic-free handle, plant-based bristles, replaceable head. No microfibre synthetic sponge.

Why we recommend it

The easiest sponge replacement. A brush does not harbour bacteria the same way a sponge does, lasts longer, and does not shed synthetic fibres into your dishwater.

Made in France using traditional craftwork. These are brushes you keep for years, not months. Zero plastic, zero synthetic fibres, and they look exceptional on any kitchen counter.

Lighting

For evening use, choose bulbs with colour temperatures of 2700K or lower. Incandescent bulbs produce a full spectrum including infrared, which LEDs lack entirely.

Budget

Philips Warm Glow LED 2200-2700K

~£5 / $6 per bulb

Dims to warmer colour temperature: better than standard LEDs for evening use without the full switch to incandescent.

Why we recommend it

Why we recommend it

Standard incandescent bulbs. Full spectrum, infrared output, warm 2700K. The best option for evening lighting in rooms where you wind down.
