they should be since they are made by all-clad...the finish doesnt rub off at all..even if it scratches it still retains its nonstick properties,all clad uses exclusive nonstick coating for emeril and their own brand..will not wear off, i actually have 2 of these pans i bought at marshalls to try before i open my new set and so far they havent even scratched or anything and i use them for everything including oven use up to 410 degrees. they are excellent pans. they are sturdy and have a heft to them but not too heavy just solid good pans..no dishwasher needed,,just use a little warm soapy water and a sponge and wipe off and dry..

Dana A. I cannot answer your question because I do not know what PFOA is. I do know I love this pan as it makes the best tasting scrambled eggs I ever tasted.

I don;t think you have to worry about PTFE and PFOA since the cooker is not made of plastic(inside). It is made of stainless steel that does not contain PTFE and PFOA. The outside material does not effect what you are cooking in any way. I chose this product out of many because it is steel surface on the inside, including the steaming tray so I did not have to worry about PTFE and PFOA as well. Very happy with it. Hope it helps...

Greetings, The interior is cast iron. I do not know what PFOA is. We are happy with the various sizes and use them regularly with no bad effects. Enjoy!

The interior coating is enamel which, I believe, means it is PFOA free. It is not non-stick.

Teflon. It may be BPA Free as someone said but that does not mean it is 100% safe. All teflon has The chemical - called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA - is used to make compounds called fluoropolymers, which are used in turn to make Teflon and other products like oil and water-repellent coatings on carpet, textiles, leather and paper. If you cook at very high temperatures some of the chemicals can be released in the air as carcinogens. That said, I use my 5-1 Griddler often and just make sure I don't turn the heat way up. It's just another thing for us to worry about. The FDA came out with this over 14 yrs ago and still has done nothing one way or the other. Teflon.

A quick Google search reveals the actual product page on the manufacturer's website. On there, it lists them as being PFOA free:http://store.calphalon.com/productline/pfoa-free-nonstick-calphalon-unison-nonstick/4294959916-4294938856

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.

I do spray mine with a nonstick spray almost every time. Mine is old and has had a lot of use and I really like it. I think I need a spray more than I did years ago. I have not thought about PFOA. MWR

I love this pot, but I don't believe there is any pfoa. I don't believe much of what the manufacturer say. It's all a sales pitch,

I do not know. If you read about pfoa on the internet you may be able to decide if you want to purchase.

I did not verifythat it was ceramic but the company verified that it has no PFOAs or PFTEs.

Sorry, I threw out the packaging so I don't know. I do recall that that are BPA free, so they do meet US safety standards.

from Presto Customer Service, Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles do have PTFE and PFOA.

YES. It contains PTFE. PFOA was discontinued in recent years, so it does NOT have PFOA. But anyone who says it doesn't have PTFE is utterly wrong. Every Teflon, every nonstick, has PTFE. The only ones that don't are the new white/green ceramic nonstick pans.

Yes, they are fluoride free. The Placker's KIDS version has fluoride, the ones shipped to me do not.

These are not BPA free. They are NOT paraflex, they are teflon which is reactive, carcinogenic, and illegal to use in cooking in educated countries.
