Anolon · Nonstick Skillets
Anolon Hard-Anodized Nonstick Mini Skillet Frying Pan
Skip until Anolon discloses the nonstick chemistry, hard-anodized cookware risks remain unclear.
Anolon's hard-anodized mini skillet uses a nonstick coating but does not publicly specify whether it contains Teflon-type coating, PFOA, or other Teflon-family coating. The brand makes no PFAS-related claims or third-party certifications. Without disclosure, PFAS risk cannot be reliably assessed.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
