I put this product in my dishwasher from day 1 and it still looks brand new, still cooks like it's brand new and is an easy cleanup if I don't use the dishwasher.

Question 3

is it pfoa free?

Accepted Answer

A company named Whitford produces QuanTanium for Cuisinart. They claim the "QuanTanium for Bakeware" (coil version and spray version) is PTFE/PFOA free, stating the non-stick agent is silicone ----However under "QuanTanium for Cookware" THE NAME OF THE NON-STICK AGENT IS OMITTED ALTOGETHER if this omission is unintended WHITFORD NEEDS TO CLARIFY BY STATING THE NAME OF THE POLYMER. PFOA has been used in the manufacture of PTFE (Teflon). Perhaps with this Cuisinart product it wasn't? --However PTFE/Teflon's Decomposition is detectable at 392F (only gets stronger at higher temps) And the Gas-Phase at which it starts to Fume is only 300F and continues to 450F (below the smoke point of common cooking oils). These Decomposition -and- Gas-Phase (Fuming) products can cause mild to severe lung injury. The latter can cause "Polymer Fume Fever", informally "Teflon Flu": Symptoms are flu-like: chills, headaches, fevers, chest tightness, and mild cough. Symptoms can be delayed up to 8 hours after exposure ----Because PTFE's Decomposition and Fuming points are both -below- the smoke point of common cooking oils, Teflon Decomposition and Fuming can be easily and regularly achieved on the stovetop: Canola oil 400F, Sunflower oil 440F, Corn oil 450F, Clarified Butter 450F, Peanut oil 450F, Soybean oil 450F, Light/Refined Olive Oil 465F, Safflower oil 510F, and more. Polymer Fume Fever can be fatal to pet parrots and other birds, often found dead in their cage or gasping for air and eventually dying. Mild exposures may result in difficulty breathing, incoordination, weakness, anxiety, or even seizures.(After 450F the burning PTFE releases different products -I'm unsure what health effects this set of products could cause) Sources: (1) wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene#Safety (2) Smoke Point Chart: imgur(dot)com/2DfVj8G(dot)jpg (3) wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Polymer_fume_fever(4) sciencedirect(dot)com/science/article/pii/S0041008X00990379(5) peteducation(dot)com/article(dot)cfm?c=15&aid=2874(6) whitfordww(dot)com/housewares/quantanium(dot)html

Question 4

What is the thickness of the material in the pan,  how many millimeters is it?  thank you, diane yoscak

Accepted Answer

It’s not too thin my pans I bought 20 years ago are much heavier.  I don’t think it would dent too easily.  I was disappointed at first it wasn’t like my heavier pans but this one heats up faster and isn’t so heavy when I want to pore food and water in a strainer.
