6-Quart Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker Plus
Skip until Presto discloses coating composition or certifies PFAS-free.
Presto's 6-Quart Programmable Pressure Cooker uses a nonstick-coated lid and inner surfaces, but the company does not publicly disclose the coating's chemical composition or PFAS status. Without third-party verification or explicit PFAS-free certification, the specific Teflon-family coating formulation remains unknown.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
