PFAS score
Zwilling J.A. Henckels · Crepe Pans
Zwilling Pure Ceramic Frypan
Lower-concern option; ceramic coatings typically avoid PFAS, but Zwilling makes no public disclosure.
The Zwilling Pure Ceramic Frypan uses a ceramic-based nonstick surface, which is materially different from Teflon-type coating/Teflon-family coating coatings and carries lower PFAS risk. Zwilling does not publicly claim PFAS-free status or hold third-party certification on this line.

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.
