Is the non-stick surface PTFE and PFOA free?

I don't know and the instructions I got with the grill don't mention what the non-stick surface is made of.

According to Presto Customer Service the only model they have that is PTFE and PFOA is model 07115, which is a skillet versus a griddle. Here is their response "Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles do have PTFE and PFOA."

If you read it clearly, in the description it states that it is PFOA/PTFE free. Some are saying otherwise. So is it really PFOA/PTFE free or what?

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

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

Yes, it is a PTFE Coating. I do not know if Teflon makes the coating. There are several PTFE manufactures.

They make a line coated with QuanTanium which is PFOA free. My rule of thumb is if it doesn't say "green"or "Eco non stick coating" I wouldn't. This description mentions neither. Research Green or Eco non stick bakeware and you should see choices more fitting your needs.

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.

According to the T-Fal manufacturers website: http://www.t-falusa.com/Tefal+magazine/Recipes/Non-Stick+Safety.htm "All T-FAL non-stick coatings contain PTFE, (polytetrafluoroethylene) a remarkable plastic polymer. This is the slippery ingredient that makes the non-stick finish. PTFE is made up of "tetra fluoro ethylene" molecules that contain only carbon and fluorine. The non-stick coating is not attacked by acid or alkali bases and is very stable when heated. Health authorities in the US, Canada, France, Europe and other countries have approved non-stick PTFE coatings for use on cookware. Actually, it is an inert substance which does not enter into chemical reactions with food, water, or household cleaners. If ingested, it is totally innocuous to the body. Non-stick is so safe it is frequently used by the medical profession for coating heart stimulators, small pipes used as replacement arteries, and has even been injected into patients with serious kidney conditions. To cause any possible hazard to the consumer, it would be necessary to heat 36 non-stick frying pans simultaneously to 750F. Since in a domestic kitchen the maximum temperature possible to which a pan can normally be heated is approximately 575F, there is no risk should a pan be accidentally overheated."

Received this pan today and the packaging states "PFOA-free nonstick surface..."

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 would suggest you watch the video on this page. It appears to be made of aluminum with a layer of titanium which is then coated. They state PFOA free but do not state PTFE free.

Hi Phil, unfortunately, I don't have the box any longer as I purchased these a couple months ago. However, the description on Amazon says that they are both PFOA-Cadmium Free AND PTFE Free. Hope that helps.

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

They do have a line of cookware meeting this requirement ... http://www.calphalon.com/Pages/Content/Press-Releases/Calphalon-Introduces-Ceramic-Nonstick-Cookware-with--Eco-Friendly,-PFOA-Free-Nonstick.aspx

I love the griddle, I can't say anything about its PTFE-free or PFOA free. All I can tell you is I am really enjoying the griddle, its great for a lot of uses, Its easy to clean, and I like that! But all in all I am a very satisfied customer.

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.
