Why do people continue to say it's not teflon-free when the manufacturer states pfoa-free nonstick aluminumcooking surface releases waffles smoothly?!

PFOA is a chemical used in the manufacturing process, but many companies will say "PFOA-free" to make you think it is also free of the other nonstick chemicals, like Teflon. PFOA-free does not automatically mean PTFE-free. PTFE (the molecule polytetrafluoroethylene) is the generic name for Teflon™. There are other brands of PTFE, too.. depending on the company. Teflon is owned by DuPont. I emailed Hamilton Beach about this model and they replied, "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating."

Manufacturer: Please give detailed info about nonstick features (Teflon?). No details in listing or manual and customer service doesn’t respond.

I emailed Hamilton Beach to ask about this particular model and if it contains PTFE in the coating. PTFE (the molecule polytetrafluoroethylene) is the generic name for Teflon. Other companies us a PTFE coating under different brand names. They replied, "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating."

This question is for the manufacturer only. Can you provide proof, in writing, that this does not contain Teflon or any chemical coatings?

I emailed hamilton beach and they replied: "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating." "...does not contain Teflon, and the grids is copper ceramic nonstick coating."

Are these made with Teflon?
