is this pan PFOA free?

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 am sorry I cannot answer that question. On my best guess I would say that it does have PFOA coating, but if you use the pan correctly not over heating it, it works just great and does not emit any fumes that may be harmful!

I don't know, but when checking the Internet if there is PFOA it is a trace. I'm sorry, but still do not know. Will have to check the store and read the label on the cookware.

Hi Sandra, The literature is a bit confusing regarding this question. I do know that the Circulon "Classic" is PFOA and PTFE free as well as the lesser quality (IMO), Circulon "Contempo". However, here is a link that may help you with your decision. http://www.allcookwarefind.com/Non-Stick/ I ultimately am using the Circulon Infinite, as I feel it's superior to all other Circulon sets. Please remember that Meyer Corp makes Cuisinart, Rachel Ray, Farberware, Anolon....ect (the list goes on). My second choice from Meyer Corp, would be the Anolon Nouvelle Copper. I have one pan of that brand and it's fantastic. There's a cooking show on TV with Nick Stellino. He is Italian and funny, and sometimes has a martini while or after cooking. He uses the Anolon which I make reference to. Where the pan handles attach to the pan, they don't go through the pan so it doesn't make them hard to clean where they attach. Scanpan (some models) are PFOA/PTFE free and most can be used at high heat with lifetime warranties. Remember to look at reviews (even on other sites) regarding some of the "greener" pans. Some do not hold up as well. Also, as with any reviews, take into consideration the context of the review as some complaints are very minor while others can be very helpful and informative. Some people complain that their pans are showing "wear after 10 yrs" and I find that amusing. Nothing these days is made to last forever and if these pans did, they'd cost thousands of dollars. Good luck. Best, Wade

It's been such along time since I bought this I do not remember. But I found a non-stick pan at Walmart. It is called Green + Life. It is a Healthy ceramic non-stick pan. It is free of PFOA, Lead, Cadmium and life time warranty. I was pleased with this pan and the way my food cooked up. I like this pan better than the green earth

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

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.

PFOA emission (used in making Teflon) is likely toxic, but PTFE (Teflon) itself is ok.www.webmd.com/cancer/features/teflon-pans

Yes, I checked the skillet and looked it up at their website. #622-30G is PFOA free. Good luck, enjoy the skillet!

Not sure. But Amazon has a site dedicated to your question: http://www.amazon.com/Best-PFOA-Cookware-Nonstick-Eco-Friendly/lm/R3LCDXHCVIXTS9Sorry for the long site, copy and paste is best.

The package says it is free of PTFE and PFOA and that it is made from ceramic and is completely eco-friendly. Since BPA is a by-product of plastic and resins and this pan does not contain either then that would suggest that it is BPA free.

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!

I would suggest you watch the video on this page. It appears to be made of aluminum with a layer of titanium which is then coated. They state PFOA free but do not state PTFE free.

If you read it clearly, in the description it states that it is PFOA/PTFE free. Some are saying otherwise. So is it really PFOA/PTFE free or what?

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.

The correct answer is yes. From the item description on the Vollrath site - "S5220 coated with non-stick SteelCoat X3™ (made without PFOA) for easy food release and cleaning".

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
