Cuisinart Advantage Ceramic-Coated Cutlery 10-Piece Knife Set
Lower concern; ceramic coating on cutlery carries minimal PFAS risk vs. nonstick cookware, but brand offers no clarity.
Cuisinart's ceramic-coated knives use a non-Teflon-family coating on stainless steel blades, which is a lower-risk material class than traditional Teflon-type coating nonstick. The brand does not disclose PFAS content or claim PFAS-free status.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% 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.
