Question 1

What is the difference between aluminum and stainless in cookware?

Accepted Answer

The aluminum is contained to the inside of many of these non-stuick pans .  It is inexpensive and heats quickly and easily.  I don't see that there should be any health concerns since the food is not "in" contact with the aluminum.

Question 2

are they aluminum or stainless?

Accepted Answer

aluminum

Question 3

are they pfoa free ? I received them and the packing does not say anything about them being pfoa free.  false advertising?

Accepted Answer

Eddie is correct. According to the manufacturer, they are PFOA free. PFOA is short for perfluorooctanoic acid (also called C8), a synthetic chemical compound that is used, along with PTFE, to manufacture certain fluoropolymer and telomere based consumer products. PFOA is used in the manufacturing process of many products such as non-stick coatings, compatible microwave packaging, some textiles, stain resistant carpet, pizza boxes which do not absorb fat, etc. On its finished products, Tefal/T-fal's commitment is to guarantee the absence of PFOA, lead and cadmium and guarantees that its products with Tefal/T-fal non-stick coating are harmless for the environment and the consumer. Cookware items with Tefal/T-fal non-stick coating DO NOT contain PFOA. This is regularly checked by independent laboratories, which verify the absence of PFOA in the finished products. Since 2003, tests have regularly been performed by independent laboratories in many countries (INERIS in France, ASAHI GLASS FLUOROPOLYMERS in the UK, FABES Labs in Germany, MB Labs in Canada and SGS in China). These tests have systematically proven the absence of PFOA in products with Tefal/T-fal non-stick coating. For additional information, please go to: www.t-falusa.com

Question 4

The Tfal fry pan set I just received do not have the red heat indicator.  Is it supposed to?

Accepted Answer

These are knock offs. Notice the bottom of the pan and other details that aren’t the same as a teal
T-fal. But If they work ans that doesn’t bother you, then no biggie :)
