What Cuisinart says and does about PFAS
Cuisinart sells both kinds of nonstick. Independent testing by the Ecology Center found PTFE on a Cuisinart stainless skillet with its QuanTanium nonstick interior, and a silicon dioxide ceramic coating on a Green Gourmet skillet, matching that line’s PTFE-free label. We could not load Cuisinart’s own chemical disclosure pages to confirm which current models it lists as containing PFAS.

- Independent testThe same testing found a silicon dioxide coating, a type of ceramic, on the Cuisinart Green Gourmet Induction 8 in Skillet, consistent with its PTFE-free label. Ecology Center ↗
