I just got the pan and noticed that the advertised PTFE free is not on the product specs that came along with the package. Thoughts?

The non-stick coating is ceramic based. Hence, there is no PTFE in the product. We now have a total of 4 of the pans, and, they are the best my wife and I have ever used. We are aged late 50's, so, we have used many pots and pans in our lives.

PTFE is essentially another name for Teflon, and since these pans are ceramic coated, they don't have PTFE.

Thank you! I had the same problem myself... misplacing the packaging. Could you also provide the care instructions for the pan?

Actually, you've been given misinformation, as did Barbara the representative. These do contain PTFE as this is the coating that makes the cookware nonstick. These are not the newer generation ceramic lined nonstick pans.

Here is what Nordic Ware says about their non-stick coatings in an FAQ on their website: "The nonstick coatings that Nordic Ware uses on all of its cookware and bakeware products are formulated to our specifications and produced in the USA by coatings companies that also supply the medical, military, foodservice and aerospace industries. We've chosen our suppliers because of their ability to meet our very precise quality standards. The coatings we use vary based on what type of food they will be releasing, and what temperatures the cooking vessel will reach. Our bakeware coatings are and have always been PTFE and PFOA-free, since an entirely different formulation is necessary to release sugars (associated with baking) than proteins (associated with meats and dairy). Our cookware coatings can be one of several formulations, depending on what substrate material they're being applied to (cast aluminum versus aluminized steel). We are able to state that PFOA is not present in any of the coating formulations that we currently use on consumer cookware products. PTFE (an entirely different compound than PFOA) is the material that gives nonstick surfaces their "slipperiness" and is widely used in consumer cookware coatings, including many of Nordic Ware's stovetop cookware products. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and refers to a specific nonstick coating that they exclusively manufacture. Teflon is not used by Nordic Ware for any consumer cookware or bakeware finishes at this time. If you have additional questions about the nonstick coatings that Nordic Ware uses, please contact our Consumer Service Department" https://www.nordicware.com/faq#

It should be, but it isn't. I ordered the pan from this page and was sent the new model.

I did not contact the company. I was too busy. I figure that they just moved manufacturing to a "cheaper location." My first pan was wonderful - I regret giving it away!

Dottie P. I have the accessories pkg. but I do use my regular pans with it. I have never come across a problem. Hope this answers your question glad to be of some help.

I think they've remedied that problem. I had one of the earlier models (finish flaked off) - the replacement pan they sent had a thicker enamel . Worked fine !

Yes, it is a PTFE Coating. I do not know if Teflon makes the coating. There are several PTFE manufactures.

I believe it's PFOA free, but does contain PTFE. From the website: Does not contain PFOA or PFOS

I do not know, but I am extremely sensitive to any PTFE and have had no trouble with this product.

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 ... &#9670; Made without PFOA

Go to scanpan cookware dot com and click on contact us. They will be able to answer your question better than anyone here. Amazon deletes web site addresses, that's why I spelled it the way I did. Just type in your web browser in the usual way. From a quick look on their site it seems they use a ceramic / titanium coating, not Teflon.

There is no information on the box regarding pfoa coating. It shows as being slide and sear nonstick. Hope this helps.

I would recommend checking their website. My container of EWG doesn't say anything about what's in it, it only says that it doesn't contain Teflon or PTFE additives.
