Is this set PFOA free?

I'm not really sure, but Quisinart mentions certain cookware sets as "Green Gourmet." When I bought the one I have I don't remember that phrase being used. It might be best to contact Cuisinart or research your question online.

The product is lined with Quantanium which is like Teflon and contains PFOA.

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.

It is coated with a product called Thermalon, which works very well, but the main selling point is that it contains no PTFE or PFOA materials. It feels very much like a ceramic coated pan we had, but it is not ceramic per-se.

The correct answer is yes. From the item description on the Vollrath site - "S5220 coated with non-stick SteelCoat X3™ (made without PFOA) for easy food release and cleaning".

Dana A. I cannot answer your question because I do not know what PFOA is. I do know I love this pan as it makes the best tasting scrambled eggs I ever tasted.

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!

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!

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

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

Yes, I checked the skillet and looked it up at their website. #622-30G is PFOA free. Good luck, enjoy the skillet!

I just called Breville and it is NOT PTFE or PFOA free [I have a bird so I cannot have cookware or electrics that contain PTFE/PFOA] it's hard to get answers, but Breville, Cusinart and Calapholon ALL have their toaster & toaster convection combo ovens contain a non-stick coating with PTFE/PFOA. I'm calling Oster next, but they are closed now for the night. PS: to get an accurate answer on this type of "chemical" technical question, you really have to get to the corporate level [not the 800 CS] to get the ACTUAL info, many CS's said they were "free" but no one could show me on their websites where that was in writing. That's when each of the above co's got corporate involved, then either I was connected or they returned my call, then gave me the above info.

It is NOT teflon, it is a PTFE and PFOA free non-stick material - I called support to find out.

Dear Blythe, Thank you for your inquiry. This product does not contain PFOA; PTFE is the nonstick coating that is on our nonstick 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

It is NOT PFTE and PFOA free, however all the plastic components are BPA free, according to their website.

I do spray mine with a nonstick spray almost every time. Mine is old and has had a lot of use and I really like it. I think I need a spray more than I did years ago. I have not thought about PFOA. MWR
