FAQs
When is Cyber Monday 2025?
Cyber Monday is on the Monday following Thanksgiving every year. This year, that’s December 1.
What does “non-toxic” mean?
Good question! Non-toxic doesn’t have a standard definition, but it’s generally considered to mean “not harmful” to our health or the environment. While many consider ceramic-coated pans to be non-toxic (their marketing materials are where you’ll most often find the term), they’re often made with proprietary formulas that consumers can’t verify. Because of this—and a lack of good, human-based evidence around cookware in general—it would be difficult to say for sure that any ceramic pan is entirely free of harmful components. If you’re nervous about it, we’d recommend sticking to tried-and-true materials like stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel, and cookware with enamel coatings.
