Kitchy · Non-Stick Baking Molds
Fat Daddio's Floral Star Silicone Bundt Pan
Silicone bakeware has lower PFAS concern, but brand discloses nothing.
Silicone is an inherently PFAS-free material without coating concerns. Kitchy provides no PFAS transparency, but the base material itself poses minimal chemical risk for baking use.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This pan is made from food-grade silicone, a synthetic rubber polymer that does not leach the heavy metals (lead, cadmium) or migrate harmful plasticizers typical of older ceramic or plastic bakeware. Silicone's inert structure means it resists breakdown under normal baking temperatures (up to 400-500F) and does not require a non-stick coating that can degrade. The floral star design is molded into the silicone itself, not added as a separate glaze or enamel, eliminating coating-flaking risk.
The brand's record and disclosure
Kitchy is a mass-market kitchenware brand with no published material safety data sheets, third-party testing disclosures, or chemical transparency reports readily available. No product-specific safety recalls or FDA actions against this brand's silicone bakeware have been documented in public records. The brand's silence on PFAS, heavy metals testing, or manufacturing certifications is typical of budget-tier cookware makers but limits independent verification of chemical safety claims.
How it compares in its category
Silicone bakeware is chemically safer than metal pans with ceramic or non-stick coatings because it avoids the leaching risks of glazes and Teflon-type coating degradation. It is equivalent to high-end silicone brands (OXO, Wilton) in material hazard profile; the price difference reflects brand reputation and durability testing rather than chemistry. Unlike glass baking dishes, silicone carries no thermal shock fracture risk and requires no seasoning maintenance.
If you buy it
Hand-wash or use low dishwasher heat to preserve silicone integrity over years of use. Do not exceed 500F; silicone softens and can off-gas slightly at sustained high temperatures, though this is not a documented health hazard at normal baking ranges. Replace the pan if you notice permanent discoloration, warping, or surface stickiness that does not resolve with cleaning, as these may indicate polymer breakdown. Store away from direct sunlight to slow UV-induced aging.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Silicone off-gassing at extreme heat
Silicone can release volatile organic compounds if exposed to temperatures above 500F or if stored near heat sources for extended periods. Normal baking (up to 400F) carries no established risk, but broiler use or direct flame contact is not recommended.
Coating degradation (none expected)
This pan is solid molded silicone without applied coatings, so peeling, chipping, or flaking hazards that plague ceramic-coated metal bakeware do not apply here.
Leaching of metals or plasticizers
Food-grade silicone does not leach lead, cadmium, BPA, or phthalates under normal cooking conditions. No recalls or adverse reports for Kitchy silicone bakeware on this hazard are documented.
Mold or bacterial growth in textured design
The molded floral star pattern creates grooves that may trap moisture or food particles if not thoroughly dried after washing. Proper air-drying and occasional vinegar soaks will prevent microbial buildup.
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.
