Works ever bit as good as the more expensive and is less expensive bought in a set. That we only had to buy one extra size. Anything they are used for and we've made everything with no problems but I don't now the official rating if any.

It is made with Dupont Autograph2-Not your old definition of Teflon. It is PFOA Free.

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

I wish I could give you a definite answer. My wife and I love these pans way better than orgreenic. We just wanted Teflon free so we never researched the PTFE cadmium. Great pan and we feel better cooking on it. Just remember to never cook on any setting higher than medium. Low acts like med and med acts like high. I guess these pans heat more efficiently.

ParaFlexx Premium are PTFE coated non-stick sheets. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE is Teflon by DuPont Co.While PTFE is stable and nontoxic at lower temperatures, it begins to deteriorate after the temperature of cookware reaches about 260 C (500 F), and decomposes above 350 C (662 F). These degradation by-products can be lethal to birds, and can cause flu-like symptoms in humans. In May, 2003, the environmental research and advocacy organization Environmental Working Group filed a 14-page brief with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission petitioning for a rule requiring that cookware and heated appliances bearing non-stick coatings carry a label warning of hazards to people and to birds

According to Calpholon's web site, this product is PFOA-free, but does contain PTFE. Calpholon's ceramic cookware is both PFOA and PTFE-free.

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#

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!

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.

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.

A little research turned up that it is PFOA free. But as with most stick free cookware it does not handle high temperatures well and the surface tends to deteriorate over time. For a fry pan I would suggest you look elsewhere but for bake ware this brand is fully serviceable. Hope this helps.

It is Ptfe and pfoa free. It is not ceramic, but is environmentally friendly.

It seems to be a light gauge aluminium compared to other pans I have used in the past, the cakes slide out perfectly, and are super easy to clean, No coating on them which is why I bought them, I don t like artificial coating. I like them so much better then any pans I have used in the past. They are just simple aluminium baking pans, but since all my friends who do major baking use Wilton I knew they would be good. I know this really doesnt completely cover your answer, but they work and are safe. I refuse to use teflon products Happy New Year

PTFE is used in teflon products, this pan is hard anondized, so yes it is PTFE free

I bought this set for my daughter for Christmas and she loves them for making cheese cakes. I cannot answer your question about the ptfe and pfoa because Wilton does not provide an specifications about the pan material construction.

I believe Austin Ed had the best answer to the question he asked. The pans with the red temperature indicator have the softer feel (silicone) handle and the the literature (tag) included with mine said they were oven safe to 450 degrees. I tried it with a recipe that called for 425 in my gas convection oven without a problem. I'm less sure about the hard plastic handled T-Fal pan but I don't think they would mislead you if it weren't true.

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