EarthPan (non-stick ceramic cooking pans)

Earth Pan is a brand of ceramic pans that are non-stick, without the nasty forever chemicals, that are ending up in rivers and oceans everywhere.

Turn pan handles in when cooking, avoid floaty sleeves and tie long hair back. Despite claims from ‘green pan companies; all cooking fumes are dangerous around birds. But hopefully if you live with birds, they are in a nice aviary with other birds, rather than caged in a kitchen. 

Read up on food safety for people and pets (just bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as like tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps, acids could harm compost creatures). Pop lids inside cans for tinned ingredients, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.

Made from recycled aluminium, the pans are then coated to protect, and although a bit more expensive, no more so than other quality pans (just buy a few – everything is sold with a 5-year guarantee).

Choose a few good pans to last for years, with coatings that won’t wear away (anodised aluminium is usually okay, it’s the coating that’s important). They cost a bit more, but you don’t need many.

The pans are suitable for all stove types (from gas to induction) and have shatterproof glass lids. They are also dishwasher-safe. The range includes a 3-piece saucepan set, a fry pan, a stockpot grill pan and a wok.

The handles are made from partly post-consumer recycled plastic (which are also designed to stay cool), and the pans are sent in sustainable packaging.
