Are pfa's or pfoa's used in the manufacture of the non-stick coating?

Joan, I don't really know the answer to that question However, I'm sure if you email Chicago Metallic I'm sure that will be able to help. I'm thinking as to why you ask this question, if there was a health concern I'm sure Chicago Metallic would not be selling a pan that could be harmful to it's customers. Nevertheless, I hope this helps you get the answer your looking for. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Have a great day Tony

I don't know, but when checking the Internet if there is PFOA it is a trace. I'm sorry, but still do not know. Will have to check the store and read the label on the cookware.

Why would you say "Yes, absolutely" ??? I can find nothing on the Ecolution website saying what exactly their "Hydrolon" nonstick surface material is made of,only that it is made without PFOA. In fact, everything I've found on the web suggests that it *is* PTFE only processed without using PFOA. Either way, it's a good griddle. Ours is 3 years old, is used about once a week, and the surface is still as good as new. And PTFE is the most inert substance imaginable - keep it below 500F and there are no health risks.

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.

All of our products use a non-stick coating that is not Dupont Teflon. Our non-stick coating is safe when used for cooking. In addition, our electric products are designed to reach maximum temperatures well within limits that causes the non-stick coating to release fumes.

The non-stick coating is made of POLYFLON from Daikin.Here's the company's link:http://www.daikin-america.com/Products/default.aspxI looked it up. It was a complex chemical compound. No thanks.

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

It is NOT teflon, it is a PTFE and PFOA free non-stick material - I called support to find out.

No. The manual says it is "nonstick fluorine coated". You can find a pdf version of the manual on the zojirushi website or google for "cw-pzc.pdf"

It is a non stick coating, that is used in many high end high heat appliances

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

I don;t think you have to worry about PTFE and PFOA since the cooker is not made of plastic(inside). It is made of stainless steel that does not contain PTFE and PFOA. The outside material does not effect what you are cooking in any way. I chose this product out of many because it is steel surface on the inside, including the steaming tray so I did not have to worry about PTFE and PFOA as well. Very happy with it. Hope it helps...

It is PTFE without the use of PFOA's. PFOA's are normally associated with the process of making Teflon, however Volrath advertises the CeramiGuard II coating was created without PFOA:http://vollrathuniversity.com/vollrathUniversity/Product-Training/Professional-Cookware/PFOA-Free-Fry-Pan-Coatings.htm

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.

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 ~

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
