These remind me of the green pans. I was on a 500 calorie diet that recommended these pans because you need no butter or oil. Eggs slide right out. Loving them, best investment.

Teflon is a brand, this is not Teflon! Yes it is BPA free. Yes it does contain PFOA. The product is called Xylan. It is FDA approved. I will die from eating sausage patties that I intend to make on it before the coating will kill me! Don't be an alarmist, call Cuisinart! Great customer service! Oh, she said watch out if you have small birds in close to where you are using it. That's why I haven't self cleaned my oven yet, I have a dog and a husband and it is winter...P.S. You should smell my new oven when I turn it on!

Just wanted to mention: PBDE is NOT the only chemical flame retardant. The fact that the email quoted below does not state that Oeuf pads are free of TDCPP or other known carcinogens, when combined with the fact that they contain urethane foam, means they probably do contain flame retardants.

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

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

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for your inquiry. This item is PFOA free as for the PTFE is the non stick coating that is on our non stick 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 D.

I do not know, but I am extremely sensitive to any PTFE and have had no trouble with this product.

The description says "Quantanium interior" which at best is only PFOA free. The PTFE is still needed for the nonstick results.

I wish I could give you a definite answer. My wife and I love these pans way better than orgreenic. We just wanted Teflon free so we never researched the PTFE cadmium. Great pan and we feel better cooking on it. Just remember to never cook on any setting higher than medium. Low acts like med and med acts like high. I guess these pans heat more efficiently.

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 ~

Yes, this product is Teflon free, I checked when I bought it as a gift. The way to can tell is that is says that it is "PTFE/PFOA-free" and, according to Wikipedia: "Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE is Teflon by DuPont Co." Hope this helps.

It is made in the USA, that is why I purchased the set. They are great. As far as all initials PTFE etc, I have no idea. They claim to be Eco friendly so that is another reason why I chose this set.

According to Calpholon's web site, this product is PFOA-free, but does contain PTFE. Calpholon's ceramic cookware is both PFOA and PTFE-free.

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

Hi! I knew I wasn't going to be returning this and threw away my box also, but I went to the pharmacy to take a look at the ingredients for you! I will attach a picture to my review. Here's what it has listed on the box: Water/Aqua/Eau, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, VP/VA Copolymer, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Acrylate/Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Amodimethicone, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Isohexadecane, Polysilicone-11, Polysorbate 80, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphensin, PhenoxethanolNot sure which of those are parabens, but I hope this helps!

I just ordered this particular PFD.....and was wondering, too, if it came with an inflation cartridge---or does one have to order the cartridge separately? Anybody??
