Rachael Ray Create Delicious 12-Qt Enamel on Steel Stockpot
Lower concern, enamel on steel is a traditional non-PFAS cookware type, but brand makes no explicit PFAS statement.
This stockpot uses enamel-coated steel, a cookware type that does not typically contain PFAS. Enamel is a glass-like ceramic coating applied to metal and has no known association with fluorinated compounds. Rachael Ray makes no public PFAS claims about this product, but the material itself carries lower risk than nonstick cookware.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% 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.
