Spring · Crepe Pans
Nordic Ware Traditional French Steel Crepe Pan
Lower PFAS concern, traditional uncoated carbon steel cookware carries minimal forever-chemical risk.
This is a traditional French crepe pan made from carbon steel with no nonstick coating. Uncoated carbon steel cookware has no known PFAS treatments and relies on seasoning rather than synthetic coatings. Nordic Ware makes no PFAS claims, but the material itself poses lower concern than modern nonstick products.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 88% 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.
