After my cancer diagnosis, I started paying closer attention to the products I use every day. These are the low-tox products I personally use, love, and recommend.
My Most-Loved Non-Toxic Cookware
The cookware I personally use and recommend for creating a lower-tox kitchen.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
A durable, affordable starter pan that can last for generations.
GreenPan 17 Piece Cookware Set
The easiest nonstick transition for families.
Caraway Cookware Set
A beautiful splurge for creating a lower-tox kitchen.
Glass Food Storage Favorites
My favorite glass storage containers for reducing plastic in the kitchen.
Glasslock 24 Piece Set
Leakproof glass containers with locking lids that are perfect for meal prep and leftovers.
Pyrex Simple Storage Set
Affordable glass containers that make it easy to switch from plastic to glass.
Wide-Mouth Mason Jars
One of the most versatile kitchen staples for pantry storage, smoothies, and leftovers.
Water Filtration Favorites
My favorite water filtration systems and glass pitchers for cleaner drinking water at home.
AquaTru Reverse Osmosis System
I love the filtration performance of AquaTru, although the reservoirs are BPA- and BPS-free plastic rather than glass.
Berkey Countertop
A long-lasting gravity-fed filtration system that’s great for families wanting to filter large amounts of water at home.
Aarke Purifying Pitcher
Affordable glass containers that make it easy to switch from plastic to glass.
Virginia Boys Maple Cutting Board
Solid maple wood cutting board.
Sonder Los Angeles Walnut Board
Beautiful and durable walnut option.
Titanium Cutting Board
Great for raw meat preparation.
Kitchen Utensils
Wooden Spoon Set
My favorite low-tox cooking utensils.
DI ORO Silicone Spatulas
Food-grade silicone and highly rated.
Bakeware
TeamFar Baking Sheets
Premium stainless steel with no nonstick coating.
Pyrex Glass Baking Dish
Kitchen staple for casseroles and baking. (I’ve had mine for over 10 years!)
TeamFar Bakeware Set
A great starter bakeware set if you’re trying to move away from nonstick-coated pans. Includes several baking essentials without chemical coatings.
Measuring Tools
Hudson Essentials Stainless Measuring Cups
Hudson Essentials Stainless Measuring Spoons
Pyrex Glass Measuring Cup
Mixing Bowls
FineDine Stainless Mixing Bowl Set
The lids are BPA-free plastic. While I don’t love plastic in the kitchen, low-tox living is about progress, not perfection. If you handwash the lids and avoid heating them, these bowls can be a practical and affordable option for everyday cooking and food storage.
Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowl Set
Water Bottles
S’Well Stainless Steel Water Bottle
S’Well 30 oz. Tumbler
Water Filtration
If your biggest concern is contaminants like PFAS, lead, and arsenic, AquaTru is one of the strongest countertop systems available. If your biggest concern is minimizing plastic contact, I’d lean toward a stainless steel system like Berkey or a glass-and-stainless option like Aarke.
Best Pitcher Aarke Purifier
Berkey Water System
Berkey systems are an investment, but are some of the best out there.
AquaTru Reverse Osmosis System
Reusable Storage
Stasher Silicone Bags
I love these! They seal good and are great for on the go snacks or lunches.
