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...

According to Presto Customer Service the only model they have that is PTFE and PFOA is model 07115, which is a skillet versus a griddle. Here is their response "Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles do have PTFE and PFOA."

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.

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

Actually, you've been given misinformation, as did Barbara the representative. These do contain PTFE as this is the coating that makes the cookware nonstick. These are not the newer generation ceramic lined nonstick pans.

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.

Hi Sandra, The literature is a bit confusing regarding this question. I do know that the Circulon "Classic" is PFOA and PTFE free as well as the lesser quality (IMO), Circulon "Contempo". However, here is a link that may help you with your decision. http://www.allcookwarefind.com/Non-Stick/ I ultimately am using the Circulon Infinite, as I feel it's superior to all other Circulon sets. Please remember that Meyer Corp makes Cuisinart, Rachel Ray, Farberware, Anolon....ect (the list goes on). My second choice from Meyer Corp, would be the Anolon Nouvelle Copper. I have one pan of that brand and it's fantastic. There's a cooking show on TV with Nick Stellino. He is Italian and funny, and sometimes has a martini while or after cooking. He uses the Anolon which I make reference to. Where the pan handles attach to the pan, they don't go through the pan so it doesn't make them hard to clean where they attach. Scanpan (some models) are PFOA/PTFE free and most can be used at high heat with lifetime warranties. Remember to look at reviews (even on other sites) regarding some of the "greener" pans. Some do not hold up as well. Also, as with any reviews, take into consideration the context of the review as some complaints are very minor while others can be very helpful and informative. Some people complain that their pans are showing "wear after 10 yrs" and I find that amusing. Nothing these days is made to last forever and if these pans did, they'd cost thousands of dollars. Good luck. Best, Wade

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

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

If you read it clearly, in the description it states that it is PFOA/PTFE free. Some are saying otherwise. So is it really PFOA/PTFE free or what?

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
