Camp Chef Cast Iron Square Pie Iron

D · Elevated

Lower-concern choice, cast iron has no PFAS risk inherent to the material.

Camp Chef's cast iron pie iron is solid cast iron with no nonstick coating, eliminating the primary PFAS pathway in cookware. Cast iron itself does not contain PFOA, Teflon-type coating, or other fluorochemicals. The brand makes no PFAS claims, but none are needed; the material class poses no established PFAS exposure risk.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 92% 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.
