Is this set PFOA- and PFIB-free? Would it be safe to use around birds-parrots?

Cookware with non-stick coating when used over very high temperature emits toxic fumes harmful to all. You may want to use cast iron cookware instead.

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

It is stated that these pans use Dupont's Autograph 2 technology. Dupont's web page (http://www2.dupont.com/Teflon/en_US/assets/downloads/pdf/DuPontAutograph2-SalesSheetK25441.pdf) states that Autograph 2 is ...◆ Made without PFOA

Yes, this product is Teflon free, I checked when I bought it as a gift. The way to can tell is that is says that it is "PTFE/PFOA-free" and, according to Wikipedia: "Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE is Teflon by DuPont Co." Hope this helps.

I bought this set for my daughter for Christmas and she loves them for making cheese cakes. I cannot answer your question about the ptfe and pfoa because Wilton does not provide an specifications about the pan material construction.

I am sure this coating is toxic and birds will drink from a bath. I feel this could make them sick or possibly worse. I used it on brick and it did not work for me.

I just called Breville and it is NOT PTFE or PFOA free [I have a bird so I cannot have cookware or electrics that contain PTFE/PFOA] it's hard to get answers, but Breville, Cusinart and Calapholon ALL have their toaster & toaster convection combo ovens contain a non-stick coating with PTFE/PFOA. I'm calling Oster next, but they are closed now for the night. PS: to get an accurate answer on this type of "chemical" technical question, you really have to get to the corporate level [not the 800 CS] to get the ACTUAL info, many CS's said they were "free" but no one could show me on their websites where that was in writing. That's when each of the above co's got corporate involved, then either I was connected or they returned my call, then gave me the above info.

Hi Phil, unfortunately, I don't have the box any longer as I purchased these a couple months ago. However, the description on Amazon says that they are both PFOA-Cadmium Free AND PTFE Free. Hope that helps.

It is NOT PFTE and PFOA free, however all the plastic components are BPA free, according to their website.

I only wish I could say the interior of this pan is enamel. Its a newer finish which is not as easy to care for as enamel. It do not believe the finish contains PFOA's. Hope this helps!

Yes google the owners manual all componets that touch the food is bpa free. Unless you have your own chickens its irrelevant anyway. Sadly in this day and time bpa is just the hot ticket bad word. They feed chickens hormones, massive doses of antibiotics, chickens and low grade corn

Hello, I am not sure about the PTFE's or the PFOA's ... I do however, feel that it scratches WAY less that the 'Ozeri" Green Pan from Germany. And in my opinion I feel that any material coming off and presenting itself to your food is bad. So regardless if it is a "so Called" Green Pan from Germany ... flaking off is No Bueno. I purchased this Cuisinart 10' about a year ago and it looks great. I recently bought the 8'. Ciao & Blessings ~

Not sure what it is made of but I did call the manufacturer and it does contain PTFE, so it would not be safe for people with pet birds.

Yes they are, not sure about PFOA usage in the waffle maker. I dislike non-stick cookware and stay away from it, this is the only non-stick cooking surface I known. There are cast iron and cast aluminum waffle pans you could try. If your batter is traditional, made with a lot of butter, I would think sticking would not be an issue with these semi-porous pans.

I called the distributor: Edgecraft Corp825 Southwood RoadAvondale, PA 19311800-342-3255I asked if the non-stick coating was teflon? They said that the coating was PFOA free. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is presumably the Bad Guy in older non-stick coatings. Google PFOA to read all about it. Teflon seems to be the catch-all term people use for any non-stick coating which appears to be incorrect in this case. There are lots of non-stick coatings out there. The question to ask then is; Is your coating PFOA Free? In this case, it is. The EPA and several major companies have been eliminating PFOA in all their products since 2010.

I have birds and moth problem. I have used this on furniture and curtains with no staining. It is a Perythrin water based spray. Perythrins are derived from plant and although it is not considered toxic to humans or animals, it is an irritant. I don't like to use any insecticides around the house because of the birds, but this product is probably the safest for use in pet homes. It is definitely safer than moth balls, which are highly toxic. Also, many flea soaps and sprays for pets contain Perythrin because it is not considered toxic when used correctly
