What is this non-stick coating on this rack? Is it PFOA/PFOE free?

Not sure, but it seems to be ceramic-like. Does not seem teflon-like. Used it a number of times and am pleased with it. Goes in the dishwasher and comes out spotless.

I do not know what the coating is. I like the rack a lot, but the coating in my opinion is not the best I've seen. I do get a buildup on the legs, which isn't the easiest to clean. The product comes shipped all buy itself, not literature and no Danesco box, just the Amazon packaging. So there is no information with this product as far as where it is made and what it is made out off.

Good question, that info didn't come with the rack. I bought 2 of them and use them frequently. You'll have to contact the manufacture.

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 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

Actually, because I am shopping for a new toaster oven and this one looks perfect for my family other than the non stick issue, I just contacted Kitchen Aid through their live chat. The non stick is Teflon, and it does contain PFOA, but according to the service agent helping me AND the scienctific community (I did a little research) the PFOA does not break down unless it is heated above 550-650 degrees F. Hope this helps.

From my understanding, the nonstick is a good thing since it means it is also PFOA-free

The other Ozeri pans claim they are both PFOA and PTFE free, this one does not - so I am assuming it is present in the material. I did a little research into the Greblon coating which is made by Weilburger in Germany. They do make several different coatings that contain PTFE aka Teflon. Only one of their products is PTFE free, a coating called CK2, but we don't know exactly which one is present in this pan.

I checked the manual and online and the only description of the coating was "non Stick" Teflon was never mentioned. Usually Teflon in mentioned by name if it's used.

Appears to be a teflon type coating. Not really sure. I would recommend asking the manufacturer.

It's an enamel, non-stick coating. Haven't had any problems with it-used it for about 2 months.

Have not used the rack yet, just the pan. Pan cleaned up nicely. Believe the rack is stainless steel, but don't quote me on that.LOL

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 I believe is a name brand, I am guessing the non-stick coating is the same type of material.

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.

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

Teflon or not, it has a non stick coating, which to me indicates that it does release PFOA. Wilton doesn't provide any specifics on the coating that I could find, but unless it's bare metal, the coating is there. I'm still blissfully using mine though.

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 called the distributor: Edgecraft Corp825 Southwood RoadAvondale, PA 19311800-342-3255I asked if the non-stick coating was teflon? They said that the coating was PFOA free. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is presumably the Bad Guy in older non-stick coatings. Google PFOA to read all about it. Teflon seems to be the catch-all term people use for any non-stick coating which appears to be incorrect in this case. There are lots of non-stick coatings out there. The question to ask then is; Is your coating PFOA Free? In this case, it is. The EPA and several major companies have been eliminating PFOA in all their products since 2010.
