Calphalon's Unison nonstick cookware has been approved by the FDA, but you should know that they do use PTFE to create their nonstick coating.

NO, Calphalon uses PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) on the Unison pans. PTFE is the generic word for Teflon. Calphalon's website states that both the EPA and FDA has stated that this is a safe compound, explaining: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a resin used in a large number of consumer applications, including nonstick coating for cookware. Because PTFE is durable and long lasting, it is used in a wide range of consumer products, including stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, medical devices, electronics and fireproof coatings. PTFE is well suited for cookware use and is the nonstick coating of choice for high-performance results. PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is used as a processing aid during manufacturing to help nonstick coatings adhere to pan interiors. On warranty returns, Calaphon has given me the option to choose a stainless steel pan instead of another PTFE. I maintain that Calaphon's warranty is the best around.

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

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

Not sure but the label did say "commercial grade" I think it may be NSF. They are great pans. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

They are not, they are stainless like the rest of the pan, and they do eventually get hot from stove cooking, but it takes a while.

No Teflon. Pans look just like the picture. Wells have a shiny finish that is super slick.

The pans are steel coated with enamel. Which is very safe opposed to a nonstick coating which wears off and could impart chemicals into your food.

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

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.

According to the answer Jenny got, they use PTFE - aka TEFLON. (or another brand of the same thing)

While I do not know the answer, I'd recommend asking Cuisinart directly, as they would have the information you want. Also, apparently Teflon is no longer created with PFOA & there are supposedly lots of nonstick coatings that aren't dangerous, but don't take my word for it, it's just something I was reading. Still, recommend asking Cuisinart, because unless the customers on Amazon happen to have taken part in the manufacturing, they most likely do not know. :(

I do not know if it is ptFE or PFOA free. I have not had my metal handle or edging rust. I do not have a glass lid. They do not come with a glass lid. That you would have to buy seperately and mine has been backordered since June. I would suggest hand washing everything though because I have read where people have put the rack in the dishwasher then started rusting.

Stainless steel needs no coating. Hard surface keeps stuff from sticking. Unlike PTFE(Teflon) surfaces, no odd chemicals leach into food. More durable but slightly less nonstick than PTFE
