Gotham Steel Double-Sided Pancake Maker - Nonstick Ceramic Griddle For Pancakes & Omelets
Skip unless Gotham Steel discloses coating composition, ceramic claims without PFAS transparency are insufficient.
Gotham Steel markets this as 'ceramic nonstick' but does not publicly disclose the coating's full chemical composition or PFAS status. While ceramic coatings can be PFAS-free, many brands use Teflon-family coating-reinforced variants.

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.
