PFAS score
Lagostina · Nonstick Skillets
Lagostina Nera Hard Anodized Nonstick 8.5 & 10 Inch Skillet Set, Aluminum | With Lid | Silver | Gas | China
Skip until nonstick coating type is disclosed; hard anodized base is lower concern, but coating remains opaque.
Lagostina does not disclose what Teflon-family coating or coating is used on this nonstick skillet. Hard anodized aluminum itself is lower concern, but the nonstick layer, critical for PFAS risk, is left unspecified. Without brand transparency or third-party testing, the PFAS status cannot be confidently assessed.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
