Gotham Steel 10.5" Griddle
Skip until coating specifics are publicly disclosed, nonstick ceramic marketed without PFAS clarity is a red flag.
Gotham Steel's 10.5" griddle uses a proprietary nonstick ceramic-titanium coating that the brand does not publicly disclose in detail. No PFAS claim, no third-party verification, and no independent lab data are available. Nonstick cookware carries inherent uncertainty; without transparent material data, PFAS risk cannot be ruled out.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
