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

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

The Unison pan lines DO use PTFE in their coating. However, the Unison line does not use the potentially harmful PFOA. According to cancer.org, Teflon/PTFE itself does not have the negative associations that PFOA has. (See http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/teflon-and-perfluorooctanoic-acid--pfoa) Now, PTFE can degrade, and although there is no evidence regarding health effects of the degradation by-products, those by-products can result in flu symptoms in sensitive humans and be bad for sensitive birds. So, to answer your question: yes and no. Yes, it off-gases, but better (i.e. no PFOA) than other non-stick pans.

The set didn't come with any written materials so I don't know if they're lead free. All the box says is "enamel paint" and "fragile". Hope this helps.

I think they were labeled lead free on the box. I no longer have the box but they must have been as I would not have used them without that assurance.

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

They do have a line of cookware meeting this requirement ... http://www.calphalon.com/Pages/Content/Press-Releases/Calphalon-Introduces-Ceramic-Nonstick-Cookware-with--Eco-Friendly,-PFOA-Free-Nonstick.aspx

Yes they are made in China, and I think they are lead free, but I'm not sure.

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 ...◆ Made without PFOA

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.

A quick Google search reveals the actual product page on the manufacturer's website. On there, it lists them as being PFOA free: http://store.calphalon.com/productline/pfoa-free-nonstick-calphalon-unison-nonstick/4294959916-4294938856

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for your inquiry. This item is PFOA free as for the PTFE is the non stick coating that is on our non stick 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 D.

Yes. It comes preseasoned, and that would imply a food safe oil was baked onto the pan. No ptfe.

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.

I think they are lead free. What grade, I don't remember. The manufacturer should be able to tell you as I believe they told me

I cant answer that for sure. I would think so. I don't think lead would be allowed in any cookware in the US these days. They are made out of aluminum and the inside is ceramic. I own 1 set and gave away 3 more sets.
