Ingredients (4)
| Ingredient | Risk Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 18/10 Stainless Steel Peaks | Beneficial | Raised stainless steel hexagonal peaks provide metal-utensil safe contact points; food-safe and inert |
| Aluminum Core | Low Risk | Tri-ply construction with aluminum core fully encapsulated between stainless layers; no food contact |
| PFOA-Free Formulation | Caution | PFOA-free, but the PTFE in the valleys is the same fluoropolymer found in traditional nonstick with the same overheating risks |
| PTFE Nonstick Coating (in Valleys) | Avoid | Uses PTFE nonstick coating in the hexagonal valley pattern; despite the hybrid design, PTFE still decomposes above 500°F releasing toxic fumes |
