Made In Carbon Steel Griddle & Press Set
Lower PFAS concern, carbon steel griddle requires no nonstick coating.
Made In's carbon steel griddle and press set uses bare carbon steel with no applied nonstick Teflon-family coating, meaning no Teflon-type coating, PFOA, or related PFAS are intentionally used in the cookware itself. The brand makes no PFAS claims, but the material choice inherently avoids the primary PFAS risk category in cookware.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 88% 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.
