I think they're similar in the ability to remain non-stick. The Green Earth pan uses a ceramic for non-stick coating. It does not contain PFOAs, which the EPA is investigating for toxicity.

No it is not Teflon. They are an excellent set of cookware. I am very happy with them.

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

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!

The coating is ceramic-titanium - that's it - so yes, free of PTFE and PFOA

The ad says Hydrolon non stick PFOA free. Beyond that, I don't know. I do really like the pan, however. It's perfect for toasted sandwiches. Check out this website. http://www.parrotforums.com/questions-answers/8023-bird-safe-nonstick-cookware.html

Dear Blythe, Thank you for your inquiry. This product does not contain PFOA; PTFE is the nonstick coating that is on our nonstick cookware, without the PTFE the pan would not be considered non stick. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia

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

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

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.

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!

Hi Veda. I'm confused about which pans you are asking about. You state Calphalon in your question, but I reviewed the Anolon Advanced Anodized Nonstick 11-Piece set. I just completed a live chat with an Anolon representative and have copied the context of that chat here. I hope it helps. Barbara: Hi, my name is Barbara. How may I help you? Connie Fall: Hello Barbara. Does your Anolon Advanced cookware contain any PTFEs or PFOAs Connie Fall: the nonstick pots and pans Connie Fall: hello? are you there? Barbara: A completed nonstick pan does not contain PFOA or PTFE. These two chemicals were used in the past in manufacturing the nonstick. Once the cookware is completed, the nonstick coating does not have these chemicals. As of 2012 the manufacture has discontinued using PFOA. Connie Fall: anything purchased before 2012 does have PFOA then? Barbara: Prior to 2012, the manufacture used PFOA which making the nonstick but after the pan is completed, there is no traces of the chemical. The nonstick is baked on the cookware at 800 degrees and the two chemicals evaporate Connie Fall: okay. Thank you so much for your help. Barbara: Are there any other questions I can assist you with? Connie: No, but thanks again for your help.

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 ~

According to Presto Customer Service the only model they have that is PTFE and PFOA is model 07115, which is a skillet versus a griddle. Here is their response "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, 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 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.
