Lamson Premier 20" BBQ Slotted Fish and Vegetable Turner
Avoid until coating materials are disclosed by brand.
Lamson Sharp provides no public disclosure of this turner's coating composition or PFAS status. Nonstick-coated cookware typically warrants clarity on PFAS content.

What Lamson Premier 20" BBQ Slotted Fish is made of, ingredients and materials
The Lamson Premier 20 is a slotted turner made from stainless steel with an unspecified nonstick coating. Stainless steel itself is chemically stable and food-safe, but the coating composition is the critical unknown. Without disclosure from Lamson Sharp, you cannot determine whether the nonstick layer contains PFAS (Teflon-family coating like Teflon-type coating), which is the primary concern for high-heat kitchen tools. If the coating degrades or flakes, both Teflon-type coating particles and underlying stainless steel adhesion points become exposure risks.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Marketed as non-stick without stating the coating chemistry.
Nonstick coating degradation and particle shedding
The unspecified nonstick layer may shed flakes or powder if scratched, dropped, or used above temperature limits. Ingestion of coating particles is unlikely to cause acute harm but represents unnecessary exposure to an unknown chemical formulation.
Thermal decomposition fumes (if Teflon-type coating-based)
If the coating contains Teflon-type coating (common in older nonstick cookware), overheating above 500F can release fluorocarbon fumes that cause acute respiratory irritation (polymer fume fever). Without coating disclosure, you cannot rule out this hazard class.
Coating adhesion failure and corrosion initiation
Stainless steel bases can develop surface corrosion or pitting if the protective nonstick layer flakes away and the underlying metal contacts acidic foods or moisture over time. This is a durability rather than acute safety issue but affects product lifespan.
What’s reassuring
Stainless steel leaching under nonstick failure
Stainless steel itself does not leach nickel or chromium at normal cooking temperatures unless the coating is breached. No documented cases for Lamson Premier 20; risk is minimal if coating remains intact.
Silicone handle durability and contaminant absorption
If the handle is silicone (common for Lamson), FDA-compliant food-grade silicone does not leach chemicals under normal kitchen use. However, repeated high-heat exposure can degrade silicone prematurely; no toxicity hazard is established for this product.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Lamson Sharp has not publicly disclosed the specific nonstick coating materials used in their Premier 20 line or provided PFAS-status statements on their website or product documentation as of available public records. No major recalls or safety controversies are documented for this specific model. The company's silence on coating chemistry is typical of smaller cookware manufacturers but represents a meaningful transparency gap for health-conscious consumers, especially given PFAS regulatory momentum.
How it compares in its category
Silicone-handled fish turners with stainless steel blades are common; many competitors (e.g., OXO, Winco) either disclose their coating or use Teflon-type coating-free alternatives like ceramic or hard-anodized aluminum. The Lamson Premier 20's slotted design is functional for drainage and steak-flipping tasks, but its nonstick coating opacity puts it in a lower-transparency tier than brands offering PFAS-free or fully disclosed options. For roughly similar price and utility, alternatives with clearer material disclosure are available.
If you buy it
Keep the turner away from direct flame or temperatures above 400F to reduce nonstick coating degradation and potential fume release. Inspect the blade and handle regularly for scratches, peeling, or discoloration; replace immediately if the coating shows wear, as flaking particles and adhesion failures signal end-of-life. Hand wash only; dishwasher heat and detergents accelerate coating breakdown. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of any exposed stainless steel.
