Question from Savanna
Hello,
I was wondering if you new if the Starfrit Alternative Eco Pan made from natural ceramic powder is actually a healthy alternative to cook with? They say it has no Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
Thanks

I haven’t actually seen this pan, but the description says “100% ceramic powder” and “99% recycled aluminum” so it sounds like it is a ceramic coating fused to an aluminum pan.
A 100% ceramic coating would be safe. Other ceramic coatings I am familiar with are lead-free.
Anyone have any experience with these pans?
My mom recently purchased one of these, they are nice and light, seem to do a good job keeping food from sticking on them and clean easily.
I was wondering if there was any new information on these pans.
Their website states:
The Rock technology is now part of the Gourmet cookware! Durable non-stick cookware with a natural and chemical-free

I am not sure if that’s enough information and was wondering if anyone had anything new to add.
Thank you
I called the company and couldn’t get much more information than this.
