PFAS score
Mica · Grill Pans
Figmint 12" Aluminum Ceramic Grill Pan
Ceramic coating lowers PFAS concern, but brand silence on coating specifics and nonstick formula is a yellow flag.
Mica's 'Figmint 12' advertises ceramic nonstick, which is a lower-concern material class than Teflon-type coating. However, the brand provides no transparency on whether the ceramic coating or adhesive layers contain PFAS, and no third-party testing is public.

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.
