PFAS score
Prestige · Rice Cookers
Prestige PRWO 1.8 1.8L Rice Cooker
Skip until coating material is disclosed, nonstick rice cookers often contain Teflon-type coating-based coatings.
Prestige does not publicly disclose the coating chemistry on this rice cooker's inner bowl. Nonstick cookware frequently uses Teflon-type coating or other Teflon-family coating that may contain PFAS; without material transparency, PFAS risk cannot be ruled out. Choose stainless steel or ceramic rice cookers for lower concern.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
