PFAS score
KitchenAid · Cookware
KitchenAid 5-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Nonstick Frying Pan
Nonstick coating composition undisclosed; higher PFAS uncertainty.
KitchenAid does not publicly disclose the nonstick coating chemistry on this pan. Standard nonstick cookware frequently uses Teflon-type coating or Teflon-family coating; without brand confirmation of PFAS-free alternatives, assume elevated concern.
Still want this one anyway? Check the price on Amazon. We’d swap it.

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.
