"A Calphalon representative told us the nonstick coating used in Simply Calphalon cookware is not Teflon either, but is made by Exxon-Mobil and is manufactured using Polytetrafluoroethylene. This is still one of the chemicals at the center of the Teflon debate." http://www.consumersearch.com/www/kitchen/cookware/fullstory.html I don't know if it matters but Exxon-Mobil was not (at least by that name) one of the companies to whon the EPA sent a letter regarding PFOA (perfluoroctanoic acid) on January 25, 2006. http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/pfoa/pfoastewardship.htm Here is another article on the EPA and the PFOA program: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/25/AR2006012502041.html However, breakdown products from PFC under very high heat could still be an issue for you, so the PFOA issue may not be what you are thinking of. |

If you go to the Calphalon site, they seem to have cookware in addition to non-stick. calphalon.com Here is an article titled: "In Search of a Pan That Lets Cooks Forget About Teflon" It should be available for free for about 6 more days. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/07/dining/07pans.html?ex=1149825600&en=d5a9f0abd13fb5ce&ei=5087%0A |
