PFAS score
Anolon · Grill Pans
Anolon Advanced Home 11-Inch Deep Square Grill Pan
Skip until Anolon clarifies nonstick coating chemistry, unspecified nonstick surfaces raise PFAS concern.
Anolon Advanced Home cookware uses hard-anodized aluminum with a proprietary nonstick coating, but the brand does not publicly disclose whether it contains Teflon-type coating, PFOA, or other Teflon-family coating. Without transparent material disclosure or third-party testing, the PFAS risk profile cannot be confirmed.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
