Wilton Ultra Bake Pro 3pc Cookie Sheet Set
Avoid unless Wilton reveals the coating chemistry.
This Wilton cookie sheet set has a non-stick coating but the company hasn't revealed its chemical makeup or whether it contains PFAS. Without transparency or testing, you can't rule out risk.

Material
Steel with non-stick coating (type unspecified)
Brand disclosure
Brand is silent on PFAS
Lab data
No public lab test
What’s concerning
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Advertised as non-stick but coating type is not explained.
No PFAS disclosure
The company has not publicly discussed PFAS in this product.
Category baseline
cookware is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Teflon-type coating fume risk (non-stick coating composition unknown)
Wilton has not disclosed whether this coating is Teflon-type coating or an alternative. If Teflon-type coating-based, heating above 500F can release toxic fumes; even below that, normal use may involve PFAS inhalation or ingestion via coating microparticles over the product lifespan.
Coating degradation and leaching over time
Non-stick coatings degrade with use, washing, and thermal cycling. As the coating deteriorates, microscopic particles or chemical leachates may migrate into food. Without knowing the coating type, it is difficult to predict the rate or chemical identity of degradation byproducts.
Microplastic shedding from coating
As non-stick coatings wear, friction from spatulas, utensils, or aggressive scrubbing can release microscopic particles into food. The chemical composition of these particles is unknown without coating disclosure, but this is a documented wear pattern in non-stick cookware.
What’s reassuring
Steel substrate integrity
The underlying steel in Wilton bakeware is typically commercial-grade carbon steel and does not present documented lead or cadmium risks in this product category. Rust may occur if the coating is compromised and the pan is not dried promptly, but this is a maintenance issue rather than a chemical hazard.
Aluminum leaching (if present as an interlayer)
No evidence that Wilton Ultra Bake Pro sheets use aluminum-core construction; steel-only sheets do not present this risk. If a future variant uses aluminum bonding, acidic foods could increase leaching, but this specific model is not documented to use aluminum.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This set uses steel sheet as the base material, which is inert and safe for food contact under normal conditions. The critical unknown is the non-stick coating chemistry. Wilton does not publicly specify whether the coating is Teflon-type coating-based (traditional Teflon, which involves PFAS), ceramic, silicone, or another formulation. Steel itself does not leach; the risk profile depends entirely on coating composition and its durability over time.
The brand's record and disclosure
Wilton (owned by Smuckers) has not published detailed coating chemistry disclosures for most of its non-stick bakeware lines, nor has it made public commitments to PFAS-free formulations. The company has not faced major product recalls specifically tied to non-stick coating hazards in recent years. However, silence on PFAS in cookware is increasingly recognized as a risk flag by consumer safety advocates, given the persistence and bioaccumulation of these chemicals.
How it compares in its category
Non-stick bakeware is a commodity category with inconsistent coating transparency across brands. Wilton is mid-market pricing and widely available, but competitors like OXO and some ceramic-coated alternatives now disclose coating details more openly. Steel non-stick sheets without PFAS transparency are common; ceramic-coated or uncoated steel alternatives offer lower chemical uncertainty, though with trade-offs in non-stick performance.
If you buy it
Keep baking temperature below 500F to minimize potential off-gassing from any Teflon-type coating-type coating. Hand wash only; abrasion from dishwashers or metal utensils accelerates coating degradation and increases leaching risk. Inspect the surface regularly for chips, peeling, or discoloration; replace the sheet if coating damage becomes visible. If you have young children or pregnant household members, consider the PFAS uncertainty a reason to explore coated-steel or ceramic alternatives with public disclosures.
