I bought this set for my daughter for Christmas and she loves them for making cheese cakes. I cannot answer your question about the ptfe and pfoa because Wilton does not provide an specifications about the pan material construction.

Works ever bit as good as the more expensive and is less expensive bought in a set. That we only had to buy one extra size. Anything they are used for and we've made everything with no problems but I don't now the official rating if any.

Their website says it is PFOA free. http://www.vinarozcookware.com/aluminumdiecast.htm

I'm not sure if you are asking if these are made in the USA (which they are) or what they are made from. They are made from anodized aluminum and "It features a nonstick ceramic coating that is metal utensil safe and is PTFE, PFOA, Cadmium and lead free. The aluminum base guarantees high heat retention making it excellent for searing meats, poultry, and fish and it delivering crisper, more evenly cooked food." This means if you can't scratch it like the teflon coated ones (although you can chink it or scratch it if you are using metal utensils - so don't) BUT it does not leave deadly toxins in your food from the teflon. If you let the pan heat up at medium, I guarantee you that you will not even need to use butter or spray because it WILL slide right out. I am truly amazed at the product for the price point. They are amazing. Worth every dollar, but they are so reasonably priced - who cares??? :-)

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.

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.

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

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

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!

The coating doesn't appear to be visible. It appears to be part of the pan. I have no clue what PTFEs or PFOAs are so I can't answer that question.

it is advertized as being ptfe. I really like my pan but I have a 12".It is so handy to use.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I believe Austin Ed had the best answer to the question he asked. The pans with the red temperature indicator have the softer feel (silicone) handle and the the literature (tag) included with mine said they were oven safe to 450 degrees. I tried it with a recipe that called for 425 in my gas convection oven without a problem. I'm less sure about the hard plastic handled T-Fal pan but I don't think they would mislead you if it weren't true.
