Emeril Lagasse Ceramic Nonstick Cookware 1.5 QT Sauce Pan With Lid Blue | Non-Stick | Electric
Lower concern than Teflon-type coating nonstick, but coating chemistry is not disclosed, proceed with caution.
Emeril Lagasse markets this as 'ceramic nonstick' but provides no public disclosure of the coating's chemical composition or PFAS status. Ceramic coatings vary widely in formulation; some are PFAS-free, others contain Teflon-family coating.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 55% 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.
