OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro Ceramic Coated Pizza Pan
Ceramic coating is lower concern, but OXO doesn't disclose PFAS details.
This pan uses ceramic non-stick coating, which is inherently PFAS-free. OXO provides no public statement about PFAS or certification, leaving some uncertainty about underlying substrate treatments.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This pan uses a ceramic-based non-stick coating rather than traditional Teflon-type coating (Teflon). Ceramic coatings are inorganic mineral layers typically composed of silica or zirconia compounds fused to a steel or aluminum substrate. This material class avoids the per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemistry associated with older Teflon-type coating formulations, though the specific binder chemistry OXO uses is not publicly disclosed. The underlying substrate appears to be steel or steel-reinforced aluminum, which is chemically stable at normal cooking temperatures.
The brand's record and disclosure
OXO has no major safety recalls or documented heavy-metal contamination issues in its cookware line based on public records. The brand does not publicly disclose whether their ceramic coating contains any PFAS-related compounds or provide third-party test results for the coating composition. OXO markets the ceramic coating as Teflon-type coating-free, which is accurate, but lacks transparency on alternative chemistries or long-term durability testing data. No certifications (e.g., GreenGuard, NSF) are visible on product documentation.
How it compares in its category
Ceramic non-stick cookware occupies a middle ground: it avoids PFOA/Teflon-type coating concerns better than older non-stick pans, but typically degrades faster than seasoned cast iron or stainless steel. Compared to ceramic alternatives from other brands (e.g., GreenPan, Caraway), OXO's pan lacks published independent testing or certification. The price point and design suggest consumer-grade durability rather than premium longevity. Stainless steel pans offer longer lifespan but require more skill; Teflon-type coating pans from major manufacturers may still use newer low-PFAS chemistry.
If you buy it
Use only silicone, wood, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the coating, which accelerates degradation. Do not use at very high heat (above 400-450°F regularly) or under broiler, as ceramic coatings can weaken or release particles if thermally stressed. Hand-wash only; dishwashers can erode the coating faster. Replace the pan if the non-stick surface flakes noticeably or shows bare metal, as exposed substrate may leach trace metals over time. Store with a soft cloth between pans to prevent friction damage.
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.”
Coating degradation and particle shedding
Ceramic coatings are durable but not permanent. As the surface wears with use and washing, small mineral particles may shed into food. OXO does not publish data on particle size, composition, or ingestion risk; this is typical for the category but not reassuring.
Aluminum leaching (substrate)
If the pan substrate is aluminum (not disclosed clearly), exposure to acidic foods could theoretically increase leaching, but the ceramic coating should fully isolate food from the metal. No reports of elevated aluminum in food cooked in OXO ceramic pans exist on public record.
Lead or cadmium in ceramic glaze
Modern ceramic cookware from OXO is not known to contain lead or cadmium, and the brand has no recalls on this issue. However, OXO does not publicly release third-party test results for heavy metals in the coating itself.
Teflon-type coating fume risk (thermal decomposition)
Teflon-type coating pans can release toxic fumes above 500°F; this product's ceramic coating avoids that chemistry entirely, eliminating this hazard class for normal stovetop use.
Lack of transparency on coating chemistry and durability limits
Consumer reviews and some product teardowns note that ceramic coatings lose non-stick properties faster than Teflon-type coating, but OXO provides no published guidance on expected lifespan, safe heat ceilings, or what happens when coating fails. This is a disclosure gap rather than a direct toxicity risk.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
