HexClad Hybrid
Pan range.
Recommended on 1 of 4: PTFE and other PFAS.
Is HexClad “non toxic”?
HexClad’s words for the coating are “our proprietary TerraBond™ ceramic nonstick coating, which is free from PTFE and forever chemicals”, and it adds “Tested our pots and pans for PFAS compounds and all results were below the laboratory's detection limits”, so it is recommended on PTFE and other PFAS, on a brand lab report. We found nothing from HexClad, a test or a certificate on lead and cadmium, bisphenols and plastic touching food, and HexClad does not name the material of the rivets inside the pan.
