Do Cuisinart non-stick kitchen gadgets have PFAS?
Cuisinart non-stick kitchen gadgets average 40 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 10 Cuisinart non-stick kitchen gadgets graded as of October 2026, below the 65 out of 100 median for the 9 other non-stick kitchen gadgets brands graded alongside it.
Cuisinart non-stick kitchen gadgets average Poor on our four-band scale. None of them clear our buy threshold. That is above 22% of the non-stick kitchen gadgets brands we grade.
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
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.
