Does this have any Teflon or PTFE?

No teflon. I don't know what PTFE is so I can't help you out on that one. It's a fantastic iron. Get very hot (you can control the temp to exactly what you want). I never have to re-do a curl. I have very fine hair that lays very close to my head. I use this iron to just get a little lift at the roots. It's perfect for that job.

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 ~

I'm not sure what PFOA and PTFE means, but the cookware is incredibly nice for the price and is definitely non-stick. We don't put it in the dishwasher or use metal utensils with it while cooking. Hope this helps.

Don't think it is Teflon. I don't use it, wife does, and she likes it. Works well.

http://www.zojirushi.com/index.html website only mentions nonstick, not sure if it teflon.

I am assuming you are asking about Tri-Flow. Yes, it does contain teflon. Someone also commented about a spray nozzle. It should come with a small tube that inserts into the nozzle of the can so you can direct the spray where you need it. However, it does come out quickly and is a little hard to control without getting an excess of what you need.

I would recommend checking their website. My container of EWG doesn't say anything about what's in it, it only says that it doesn't contain Teflon or PTFE additives.

The Unison pan lines DO use PTFE in their coating. However, the Unison line does not use the potentially harmful PFOA. According to cancer.org, Teflon/PTFE itself does not have the negative associations that PFOA has. (See http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/teflon-and-perfluorooctanoic-acid--pfoa) Now, PTFE can degrade, and although there is no evidence regarding health effects of the degradation by-products, those by-products can result in flu symptoms in sensitive humans and be bad for sensitive birds. So, to answer your question: yes and no. Yes, it off-gases, but better (i.e. no PFOA) than other non-stick pans.

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

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!

This is not Tephlon or PTFE. This is a cast iron cooking unit. Cast iron does require seasoning prior to use. I love my raclette. It is perfect.

It does contain teflon. Look at this one for a no teflon non-stick pan : Excelsteel Professional Aluminum Frypan with Ceramic Non-Stick Coating

from Presto Customer Service, Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles do have PTFE and PFOA.

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

I wish I could give you a definite answer. My wife and I love these pans way better than orgreenic. We just wanted Teflon free so we never researched the PTFE cadmium. Great pan and we feel better cooking on it. Just remember to never cook on any setting higher than medium. Low acts like med and med acts like high. I guess these pans heat more efficiently.

I cannot tell you definitively - one would have to look on the packaging which in my case is long gone. I do not recall any specific mention of teflon in the product description, however.

According to the box, they are made of PTFE and come from China. PTFE is an abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene and is used by DuPont to make Teflon. PTFE in pure form is extremely inert and virtually harmless.
