Lower-concern core materials, but nonstick pot coating type unconfirmed, contact Philips or inspect product specs.
The Philips HD3091/81 rice cooker's outer housing is stainless steel, a lower-concern material. However, the interior rice pot is likely nonstick-coated, and Philips does not publicly disclose whether it uses Teflon-type coating/PFAS or PFAS-free alternatives.

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.
