CLASSIC Roasting Pan
Lower-concern roasting pan; no confirmed PFAS risk, though lack of third-party verification limits certainty.
Scanpan's Classic Roasting Pan uses stainless steel with a ceramic-titanium coating and the brand claims PFAS-free manufacturing. No Teflon-type coating or disclosed Teflon-family coating are used. However, public lab testing is absent, so verification relies on the brand's statement alone rather than independent certification.
Brand says: “Scanpan's cookware lines use ceramic and titanium-reinforced coatings and are marketed as PFAS-free; the brand has publicly stated commitment to avoiding PFOA and PTFE.”

Why this grade
Category baseline
cookware is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Brand-stated PFAS-free
The brand states the product is PFAS-free (self-declared).
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Scanpan's CLASSIC Roasting Pan uses a stainless steel body topped with a ceramic-titanium hybrid coating, which avoids traditional nonstick Teflon-type coating polymers altogether. This material pairing means no risk of Teflon-type coating thermal decomposition fumes at roasting temperatures (typically 350-500F). Stainless steel itself is chemically inert and does not leach metals under normal cooking conditions, even when acidic foods are roasted in it.
The brand's record and disclosure
Scanpan has published a formal PFAS-free commitment and markets this product explicitly as PFAS-free, though independent third-party certification (e.g., GreenGuard, NSF) is not publicly documented for this specific line. The brand's transparency on coating chemistry is moderate; they disclose ceramic-titanium as the nonstick technology but provide limited detail on hardeners or curing agents used during manufacture. No major recalls or safety controversies specific to this model have been identified in public databases.
How it compares in its category
Ceramic-titanium coatings occupy a middle ground: they avoid PFOA and newer PFAS altogether, making them safer than older Teflon pans, but they wear faster and are less nonstick than conventional Teflon-type coating. Traditional stainless steel roasting pans (uncoated) eliminate coating risk entirely but require more oil and develop hot spots. Scanpan's hybrid approach balances nonstick convenience with a lower chemical footprint than Teflon-type coating alternatives at a moderate price point.
If you buy it
Hand wash only; dishwasher use accelerates coating wear. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers, as scratches expose stainless steel and degrade the nonstick layer. Avoid preheating empty above 400F to minimize thermal stress on the coating. Once visible scratching or patchy discoloration appears (typically after 3-5 years of regular use), nonstick performance declines; consider replacement to avoid direct contact between food and degraded coating residue.
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.”
Ceramic-titanium coating degradation
Ceramic coatings are more prone to chipping and flaking than Teflon-type coating under mechanical stress (metal utensils, dishwasher). Ingestion of small coating flakes is a theoretical concern, though no illness reports link Scanpan products specifically to this risk; hand washing and soft implements minimize this hazard.
Stainless steel leaching (chromium, nickel)
Under normal roasting conditions (dry or moist heat, non-acidic foods), 304/18-8 stainless steel (standard grade) does not leach detectable metal. Long boiling of acidic liquids in stainless pans can increase leaching slightly, but roasting is a dry-heat method, making this risk negligible.
Teflon-type coating fume risk
This product explicitly replaces Teflon-type coating with ceramic-titanium, so no Teflon-type coating thermal decomposition hazard exists. Scanpan does not use polytetrafluoroethylene in this line.
Hardeners and curing agents in coating
Ceramic coatings typically require epoxy or polyurethane binders and hardeners applied during manufacturing. Scanpan does not publicly disclose the complete ingredient list for the coating, so residual monomers or volatile compounds are theoretically present but likely burn off or cure before purchase; no specific complaints or data on off-gassing from this product have been documented.
Handle integrity and heat transfer
Stainless steel handles conduct heat significantly; handles may become too hot to grip without oven mitts at typical roasting temperatures. This is a burn risk but not a chemical hazard and is standard for metal roasting pans.
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.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
