Is your 10" Stone Earth Pan also PTFE 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.

This product is advertised as being PTFE free. We'll have to rely on Wearever's veracity.

No Teflon. Pans look just like the picture. Wells have a shiny finish that is super slick.

It is PTFE without the use of PFOA's. PFOA's are normally associated with the process of making Teflon, however Volrath advertises the CeramiGuard II coating was created without PFOA:http://vollrathuniversity.com/vollrathUniversity/Product-Training/Professional-Cookware/PFOA-Free-Fry-Pan-Coatings.htm

I know there is a controversy about the use of PTFE (Teflon being the brand name used by Dupont). I've noted that after a year of very extensive use, the nonstick coating on the pan in the Virtuoso, is lasting longer than the pan in the unit I previously owned. I see no signs of it wearing off, peeling, or discoloration, although I use a lot of seeds and other ingredients which would scratch a PTFE surface.

No. I don't think so. It's stsinles steel. It's packed away right now I bought 2 different ones at the same time and neither had Teflon

No, it's not Teflon. It's a form of ceramic and by far superior to Teflon in my opinion. I wish all my pans were Ceramic Marble Coated. They're the best pans I have! No fumes.

The package says it is free of PTFE and PFOA and that it is made from ceramic and is completely eco-friendly. Since BPA is a by-product of plastic and resins and this pan does not contain either then that would suggest that it is BPA free.

It looks and feels like ordinary brushed aluminum with just a hint of sparkly you see on the latest versions of stone-coated non-stick pans. The manual states the coating is BPA-free. I'm pretty sensitive to overheated plastics and worn-out Teflon pans, but have not noticed anything askew with this unit even after baking food at 425-deg.

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

No. PTFE is the main ingredient in their nonstick coating. According to their label, PTFE is inert and will pass through the body without being absorbed.

Yes: non-stick inner pan. (Not sure if it's PTFE - seems like it - but rice doesn't stick to it.)

Nordicware only says what it is not. They use PTFE (which is in brand name Teflon, but they don't use duPont's version) in some of their stove stop ware, but not in the bakeware. FAQ says: "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)." from https://www.nordicware.com/faq#faq-18988

I do not know if it is ptFE or PFOA free. I have not had my metal handle or edging rust. I do not have a glass lid. They do not come with a glass lid. That you would have to buy seperately and mine has been backordered since June. I would suggest hand washing everything though because I have read where people have put the rack in the dishwasher then started rusting.

The non-stick coating is ceramic based. Hence, there is no PTFE in the product. We now have a total of 4 of the pans, and, they are the best my wife and I have ever used. We are aged late 50's, so, we have used many pots and pans in our lives.

Sorry, i've no idea about PTFE, but this pot is nonstick. The inside is course, I like this small pot.
