We always use our diamond-infused ceramic nonstick coating on our Blue Diamond cookware, which is completely free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. Whereas your pan will not release any toxic fumes even when overheated, it is highly recommended to keep pets and birds well away from the kitchen when cooking.

Each Blue Diamond pan is toxin-free and manufactured without PFAS, PFOA, lead, or cadmium.
