OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro Ceramic Coated Metal Bakeware Half Sheet Pan
Ceramic coating is lower concern, but coating details lack transparency.
OXO markets this as ceramic-coated non-stick, a lower-PFAS risk material. However, the brand discloses nothing about the coating formulation or PFAS testing, limiting confidence.

Is OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro Ceramic non-toxic? What it is made of
This pan uses steel as the base substrate with a ceramic non-stick coating applied on top. Ceramic coatings are linked to lower concern than traditional Teflon-type coating (Teflon) coatings, which release perfluorinated compounds when heated normally. However, OXO has not publicly disclosed the exact formulation of this ceramic coating, including whether it contains any fluorinated compounds, binders, or other additives that could leach into food or off-gas with use.
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.
Ceramic coating degradation and particle release
Ceramic coatings are durable but not permanent. Repeated thermal cycling, mechanical wear, and dishwashing can cause micro-flaking or chipping; OXO has not published durability testing data or guidance on when particles become a health concern.
Coating composition transparency (unknown additives)
The ceramic coating formula is proprietary and undisclosed. Manufacturers sometimes use fluorinated compounds, heavy metal pigments, or other additives in ceramic coatings; without third-party testing or disclosure, these cannot be ruled out.
What’s reassuring
Leaching from steel base or seal materials
The underlying steel and any edge seals or handles are food-grade compliant in most major markets. No reported leaching of iron, chromium, or nickel from this specific product at normal cooking temperatures has been established.
Thermal fume release during normal use
Ceramic coatings do not produce the same volatile off-gassing as Teflon-type coating at typical baking temperatures (under 450°F). However, fume risk if overheated or burned is not independently verified for this OXO product.
Lead
OXO products sold in the US and EU are subject to toy safety and cookware regulations that restrict heavy metals. No specific testing or recalls for lead/cadmium in this ceramic bakeware line have been published, but OXO has not voluntarily disclosed testing results.

The brand's record and disclosure
OXO is a consumer-focused kitchenware brand owned by Helen of Troy Limited with a general reputation for product safety compliance and testing. The company does not appear to have published detailed material safety data sheets or transparency reports specifically addressing PFAS content or ceramic coating composition for this product line. No major recalls specific to this bakeware model have been established in public records, though this absence does not confirm safety across all batches or manufacturing periods.
How it compares in its category
Ceramic-coated bakeware sits in the middle-to-safer range compared to traditional non-stick cookware; uncoated steel or glass baking sheets carry no coating degradation risk but require more oil or butter. Many competitors (e.g., OXO's own uncoated steel pans, glass bakeware, or cast iron) avoid the unknown variables of proprietary ceramic coatings. The ceramic coating reduces sticking compared to bare steel but introduces long-term durability and composition transparency concerns that raw materials do not.
If you buy it
Hand wash only to extend coating life; dishwasher use accelerates ceramic degradation and potential particle shedding. Do not preheat empty or use at temperatures above 400°F, as ceramic coatings can degrade faster under high dry heat. Inspect annually for chips, cracks, or flaking; discard or replace if the coating is visibly compromised. Store stacked with paper towels or cloth between pans to prevent contact damage.
