I am not sure about that and I didn't save the paper work. I can tell you have had ours for about 4 month's and we love the pans. The handles and lids are wonderful and things don't stick, the pans are grate looking.

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

Teflon or not, it has a non stick coating, which to me indicates that it does release PFOA. Wilton doesn't provide any specifics on the coating that I could find, but unless it's bare metal, the coating is there. I'm still blissfully using mine though.

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.

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

This pan utilizes a natural stone-derived coating from Germany that achieves non-stick perfection while remaining 100% free of PFOA, a harmful chemical found in traditional cookware. Now Ozeri 8" Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan is 100-Percent PTFE and PFOA Free. I hope this helps you.

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.

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.

No, according to MasterClad themselves, their non-stick coating is PTFE (aka Teflon), reinforced with ceramic and titanium.

The product is made of a flexible teflon and is labeled PTFE (PFOA free)See this website for explanation of PTFE/PFOA http://home.howstuffworks.com/nonstick-cookware5.htm. Package directions advise not to use above 500F (260C). After you read the article at the website you can decide if the material releases chemicals. We usually slow cook at from 300-350F. The mat cleans very easily. Hope this answers you questions.

No. PTFE is the main ingredient in their nonstick coating. According to their label, PTFE is inert and will pass through the body without being absorbed.

I know there is a controversy about the use of PTFE (Teflon being the brand name used by Dupont). I've noted that after a year of very extensive use, the nonstick coating on the pan in the Virtuoso, is lasting longer than the pan in the unit I previously owned. I see no signs of it wearing off, peeling, or discoloration, although I use a lot of seeds and other ingredients which would scratch a PTFE surface.

They make a line coated with QuanTanium which is PFOA free. My rule of thumb is if it doesn't say "green"or "Eco non stick coating" I wouldn't. This description mentions neither. Research Green or Eco non stick bakeware and you should see choices more fitting your needs.

According to the T-Fal manufacturers website: http://www.t-falusa.com/Tefal+magazine/Recipes/Non-Stick+Safety.htm "All T-FAL non-stick coatings contain PTFE, (polytetrafluoroethylene) a remarkable plastic polymer. This is the slippery ingredient that makes the non-stick finish. PTFE is made up of "tetra fluoro ethylene" molecules that contain only carbon and fluorine. The non-stick coating is not attacked by acid or alkali bases and is very stable when heated. Health authorities in the US, Canada, France, Europe and other countries have approved non-stick PTFE coatings for use on cookware. Actually, it is an inert substance which does not enter into chemical reactions with food, water, or household cleaners. If ingested, it is totally innocuous to the body. Non-stick is so safe it is frequently used by the medical profession for coating heart stimulators, small pipes used as replacement arteries, and has even been injected into patients with serious kidney conditions. To cause any possible hazard to the consumer, it would be necessary to heat 36 non-stick frying pans simultaneously to 750F. Since in a domestic kitchen the maximum temperature possible to which a pan can normally be heated is approximately 575F, there is no risk should a pan be accidentally overheated."

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.

From my understanding, the nonstick is a good thing since it means it is also PFOA-free

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