Reserve Ceramic Nonstick Roasting Pan with Rack vs Large Roaster: which is safer?
GreenPan Reserve Ceramic Nonstick Roasting Pan with Rack is the clear pick. T-Fal Large Roaster carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Ceramic coating degradation over time, Aluminum leaching from substrate and Coating adhesion variability and manufacturing consistency on the GreenPan and not on the T-fal.
- We flag PTFE fume risk (nonstick degradation), Aluminum leaching (substrate exposure) and Coating degradation over time on the T-fal and not on the GreenPan.
- The GreenPan is Ceramic nonstick coating (Thermolon™) where the T-fal is Nonstick coating (type unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the GreenPan is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the T-fal grade, at 35% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
