Is the non-stick PFOA free?

I did not see anything about it being PFOA so I cant honestly give you an answer to that, I'm sorry, only that it is PTFE!

No it's the non stick Teflon(?sp).. it cleans up very well & very light weight. I have used it so much. I am very pleased with this purchase.

No, there is not. At least not on the one that I purchased. However, I have never had anything stick. Read description carefully and you will see nonstick is not listed anywhere (if that helps.)

This is from their FAQ page: Is your nonstick coating safe and does it contain TEFLON The nonstick coatings that Nordic Ware uses on all of its cookware and bakeware products are formulated to our specifications and produced in the USA by coatings companies that also supply the medical, military, foodservice and aerospace industries. We've chosen our suppliers because of their ability to meet our very precise quality standards. The coatings we use vary based on what type of food they will be releasing, and what temperatures the cooking vessel will reach. Our bakeware coatings are and have always been PTFE and PFOA-free, since an entirely different formulation is necessary to release sugars (associated with baking) than proteins (associated with meats and dairy). Our cookware coatings can be one of several formulations, depending on what substrate material they're being applied to (cast aluminum versus aluminized steel). We are able to state that PFOA is not present in any of the coating formulations that we currently use on consumer cookware products. PTFE (an entirely different compound than PFOA) is the material that gives nonstick surfaces their "slipperiness" and is widely used in consumer cookware coatings, including many of Nordic Ware's stovetop cookware products. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and refers to a specific nonstick coating that they exclusively manufacture. Teflon is not used by Nordic Ware for any consumer cookware or bakeware finishes at this time.

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!

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."

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.

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.

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.

Teflon is a brand, this is not Teflon! Yes it is BPA free. Yes it does contain PFOA. The product is called Xylan. It is FDA approved. I will die from eating sausage patties that I intend to make on it before the coating will kill me! Don't be an alarmist, call Cuisinart! Great customer service! Oh, she said watch out if you have small birds in close to where you are using it. That's why I haven't self cleaned my oven yet, I have a dog and a husband and it is winter...P.S. You should smell my new oven when I turn it on!

Safe and natural non-stick silicone coating stating PTFE & PFOA free! Very slick and very easy to clean but I still coat it very slightly with butter, coconut oil or all natural trans-fat free vegetable shortening by Spectrum. I haven't used it w/o the light coating so I cannot comment on using the pan w/o it but I will say that the clean up is a breeze b/c the water and soap repels off. I love USA pans. I just received the extra large loaf pan. Good luck.

I have searched relentlessly and I have been unable to find one single traditional (non Belgium) waffle maker that doesn't have PTFE/PFOA type non-stick. I have only looked at ones under $100. I want either no non-stick or ceramic non-stick.

I haven't had a problem with the non-stick surface. I do not know what PFOA is? This pan works great for me when making omeletts.

I purchased this waffle maker because i researched the internet to find out if it had perflouroctanoic acid. It was negative. So i bought it. It is nonstiick and from some research no PFOA.
