The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text.

Thanks to an intense lobbying push, manufacturers of frying pans and saucepans — including the SEB group, which owns Tefal — are exempt from this ban under the proposed law penned by French Green MPs.

Majority groups initially tried to delay the ban on kitchen utensils until 2030 — a timetable refused by the French Green MPs who instead suggested an exemption until 2026.

    Not quite that simple, but

    • yes a good first rule is something is less likely to stick if it hits a hot pan
    • another good one is to always clean right away. It makes a huge difference in how easy it is
    • the harder part is not over-heating and causing the sugars or other solids to burn.
    • learn how to deglaze: clean the pan with no effort by making a delicious sauce
    • learn different ways to clean. Sometimes you will burn stuff but it’s not a disaster and doesn’t have to mean a huge scrubbing effort
