A: NeverStick cookware uses an exclusive PTFE-based coating that is PFOA and PFA free. A: Yes, they do! Also, all pots/pans can be placed in the oven with lids, and can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees!
Available for purchase today on NinjaKtchen.com, the Ninja NeverStick™ Ceramic Pro™ solves a problem that consumers have struggled with: choosing either a nonstick pan that will last or one that's PTFE and PFOA free.
Meet the Ninja NeverStick™ Ceramic Pro cookware. It's not non stick, it's NeverStick®, made 100% PTFE free. Made with no PTFE and PFOA. The deeper-embedded NeverStick® design unlocks the ability for you to scratch it, scrub it, or heat it much more than traditional cookware.
The Ninja® Foodi™ 8-qt. 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer (FD401) does not have any Teflon. The cooking pot is made of aluminum with a nonstick ceramic coating that is FDA approved and food safe. This coating is also PTFE free.
Is the nonstick coating safe? Yes, our exclusive Ninja Zerostick coating is PFOA free and is FDA approved. What type of non-stick coating is used on the pans? Zerostick cookware is PFOA and Cadmium free.
If you're looking to replace your non-stick cookware while reducing exposure to PTFE and related chemical coatings, this cookware set is free from harmful chemicals, PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium.
Overheating a PTFE-coated skillet can be dangerous. Very high temperatures can cause the PTFE to release gases that can give you “polymer-fume fever.” You'll get the chills, a headache, and yes, a fever. This is rare and would only happen if you heat a nonstick pan on high heat for more than 30 minutes.
Essentially, the only difference lies in the name. PTFE is the shortened name of the chemical polytetrafluoroethylene, and Teflon is the trade name of the same polymer. If you are looking for a highly flexible, non-stick material that is chemical, electrical and thermal resistant, look no further than PTFE.
Removable parts and accessories. Our airfryer pans, baskets, meshes, baking trays, grilling racks, and the pizza plate are made of steel or aluminized steel and mostly coated with non-stick PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. The 7000 Series Airfryer meshes are coated with ceramic coating.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a polymer used to make coatings of kitchen utensils non-stick. It is more commonly known as Teflon™. PFOA is a chemical substance that was used in the past as an additive for the production of PTFE.
Just to be clear, neverstick are aluminum pans with PTFE coatings.
It's cool that it's free of PFOA, PFAS, cadmium, and lead and all range capable -- gas, electric, glass ceramic, and induction (although we only have a gas stove and convection oven).
The exclusive Ninja ZeroStick coating is PTFE based and applied over the plasma ceramic treatment. The plasma ceramic particles refers to the plasma treatment. This is a pre-treatment done to the aluminium vessel to increase the cooking surface durability.
If you've decided to swear off PTFE-coated nonstick cookware, there are some good alternatives, including a number of ceramic, cast-iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel pans that perform well in our tests. Below are some of the top performers from all these categories.
Calphalon cookware contains just one PFAS chemical, PTFE, used to prevent food from sticking to cookware surfaces.
Nonstick durability: This model was very good at withstanding up to 2,000 strokes using steel wool on the frypan's surface. This is done only on frypans with nonstick surfaces, simulating scraping with metal utensils and abrasive cleaners. This also predicts performance for other nonstick pieces in the set.
While air fryers are popular, the most expensive models can start to get a little pricey, which could undermine their status as a budget item. Taking to social media to share their opinions, many people have revealed that they reckon halogen ovens are the best option for frugal cooking.
And when PTFE coatings overheat, they can produce fumes that are deadly to small birds and may be harmful to humans as well. You could describe this occurrence as “the canary in the kitchen,” Peaslee says. In addition, PFAS in pots and pans pose risks even if the chemicals don't migrate directly into our bodies.
Not exactly, but it's definitely under the microscope. While Teflon itself isn't banned, the chemicals used in its production, like PFOA, have faced restrictions due to health concerns. The EU is working on broader regulations to limit PFAS, which includes Teflon's main component, PTFE.
However, sometime in 2024, Hexclad ditched the PTFE and began offering the same pans just with a “high-grade proprietary ceramic nonstick called TerraBond™ which is PTFE-free and free from forever chemicals.”
NeverStick® cookware uses a PTFE-based coating that is PFOA free (no Teflon). It is also PFAS-, cadmium- and lead-free. PTFE is used as an inner coating material in non-stick cookware prevents food from sticking in the pans. Such cookware is also easy to wash.
Non-Stick Coatings in Air Fryers
When overheated (above 260°C), PTFE can break down and release fumes that are potentially harmful to humans and pets. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), previously used in some non-stick coatings, has been largely phased out due to similar health concerns.
