Wilton Silicone Swiss Roll Pan
Silicone Swiss roll pan, lower concern. No nonstick coating.
Wilton silicone pan is made from silicone, an inherently PFAS-free material with no Teflon-family coating. Brand makes no PFAS claims, but the material itself poses lower risk than traditional nonstick cookware.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This pan is food-grade silicone, a synthetic polymer that does not contain the nonstick chemicals (Teflon-type coating, PFOA) found in traditional coated metal cookware. Silicone is chemically inert at normal baking temperatures (up to roughly 450-500°F) and does not leach into food under standard use. Unlike metal pans with ceramic or enamel coatings, silicone does not degrade into chips or flakes that could contaminate baked goods. The lack of a separate nonstick coating eliminates the risk of polymer fume inhalation from overheating.
The brand's record and disclosure
Wilton does not publicly disclose detailed safety testing or material sourcing information for its silicone bakeware. The company has not faced documented recalls or safety violations for silicone pan products. Wilton is a subsidiary of Group Ris/KKR and has a long history in the baking products market, but does not independently certify its silicone cookware against third-party safety standards. No known safety controversies specific to this product line are on record.
How it compares in its category
Silicone Swiss roll pans are safer than metal pans with Teflon-type coating-based nonstick coatings (which carry Teflon-type coating fume risk) and pose no lead/cadmium leaching risk unlike some glazed ceramic or enamel alternatives. They also avoid aluminum leaching concerns. Compared to rigid glass or stainless steel options, silicone pans are lighter and more flexible but may retain heat slightly less evenly. For non-stick performance without chemical hazards, silicone is a strong choice in the bakeware category.
If you buy it
Do not exceed the manufacturer's stated maximum temperature, typically 450-500°F, to avoid potential silicone degradation. Hand wash or use gentle dishwasher settings to extend the lifespan; abrasive scouring can degrade the surface. Inspect the pan periodically for visible cracks, discoloration, or stiffening, which may indicate aging; replace if damage appears. Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as prolonged exposure can harden silicone over time.
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.”
Silicone leaching (oligomers and cyclic compounds)
Food-grade silicone can release trace amounts of small siloxane molecules under high heat or with fatty/acidic foods. Risk is minimal at typical baking temperatures (below 450°F) but cannot be ruled out entirely. No documented cases of harm from Wilton silicone bakeware are on record.
Thermal degradation and fume release
Silicone does not emit toxic fumes when used within recommended temperature limits. Overheating significantly above 500°F could theoretically cause degradation, but this is outside normal baking use and not documented for this product.
Coating or material flaking into food
Silicone is a monolithic material without a separate coating layer, so there is no risk of chips or flakes contaminating baked goods during normal use. Damage from sharp utensils or dropping could create cuts, but these would be visible.
Metal or mineral contaminants in silicone formulation
Wilton does not publicly disclose heavy metal content or purity testing of its silicone. Industry-standard food-grade silicone should be free of lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals, but independent verification is not available for this specific product.
Allergen or irritant residues from manufacturing
No known issues with residual allergens or manufacturing residues in Wilton silicone bakeware. The product carries no allergen warnings and is not documented to cause contact dermatitis or food contamination from process residues.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 75% 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.
