Caraway Square Grill Pan
Lower PFAS concern based on Caraway's ceramic-coating claim, but no independent verification provided.
Caraway markets this square grill pan with a ceramic non-stick coating and explicitly claims it is PFAS-free. Ceramic coatings are generally lower-concern alternatives to traditional Teflon-type coating, but Caraway does not provide third-party lab testing or certifications to confirm the claim.
Brand says: “PFAS-free non-stick coating (ceramic-based)”
