Are these PFOA free?

Just found this link. Great info and I'm confident that Airbake pans are safe and pfoa free. My opinion only. Good luck! I wish I had found this link earlier when I was researching cast aluminum bakeware. http://www.environmentalhealth.ca/greatchefs.htmAlso, photos of product (at least on my phone) are a little misleading because the pans look dark but in real life, they are the bright shiny aluminum.

I'm not sure... but I looked up PFOA and it says it's boiling point is 378° F, so since these are not Teflon and oven safe, I can't imagine that they do contain PFOA. Good question though! I'll research a bit more, but if it helps, your biggest concern would be if you worked in a plant or lived near one- exposure is much higher than average person. But if you have liver toxicity issues or other factors, I'd research more.***see my second answer above!

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

Teflon. It may be BPA Free as someone said but that does not mean it is 100% safe. All teflon has The chemical - called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA - is used to make compounds called fluoropolymers, which are used in turn to make Teflon and other products like oil and water-repellent coatings on carpet, textiles, leather and paper. If you cook at very high temperatures some of the chemicals can be released in the air as carcinogens. That said, I use my 5-1 Griddler often and just make sure I don't turn the heat way up. It's just another thing for us to worry about. The FDA came out with this over 14 yrs ago and still has done nothing one way or the other. Teflon.

YES. It contains PTFE. PFOA was discontinued in recent years, so it does NOT have PFOA. But anyone who says it doesn't have PTFE is utterly wrong. Every Teflon, every nonstick, has PTFE. The only ones that don't are the new white/green ceramic nonstick pans.

I did not verifythat it was ceramic but the company verified that it has no PFOAs or PFTEs.

Yes, they are BPA free. http://www.argeecorp.com/index.php/consumer-products/argee-heavy-duty-white-buckets.html/

PFOA emission (used in making Teflon) is likely toxic, but PTFE (Teflon) itself is ok.www.webmd.com/cancer/features/teflon-pans

The coating is ceramic-titanium - that's it - so yes, free of PTFE and PFOA

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.

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.

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.

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

The ad says Hydrolon non stick PFOA free. Beyond that, I don't know. I do really like the pan, however. It's perfect for toasted sandwiches. Check out this website. http://www.parrotforums.com/questions-answers/8023-bird-safe-nonstick-cookware.html

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 don't believe they are. There is no documentation of that. I would email the company to find out for sure, but that is something that companies usually brage about on a box if it is BPA free

I love this pot, but I don't believe there is any pfoa. I don't believe much of what the manufacturer say. It's all a sales pitch,
