Hi

As the time is getting closer for our feather to come home. I just wanted to double check with people that know. I know the rule about Teflon pans but want to check.

Our sets are the granite - Aluminium , none stick pans . Now, we don’t have the packaging or any labels but I’m sure these are going to be harmful.

These are my partners best pans ha. If we have to change them it’s no drama, I’ll just explain that she can keep them in the shed ha .

Any help would be appreciated

You'd need to know whether the non-stick element is ceramic or PTFE-based.
If ceramic, they are likely safe. If PTFE, they'd go in the garage if it were me (that's what I did with my PTFE pans).

Unless you know for certain, "safety-first" suggests treating the pans as unsafe.
 
I was wondering if it is OK as looks similar to a range that is OK. Deffo need some more info.
 
Just catching up with the messages. If I buy something I always keep the guarantee. In this case, my partner doesn’t ha. I looked on the link and it doesn’t say. Regarding what is safe and not, I know all about the PTFE but this brand I can’t see any details, concerning this. Which then makes me concerned even more. I will post the link once I’m showered and changed. Maybe I’ve missed something
 
Grok explains:
The term "granite" refers to a graniteware non-stick coating, not actual granite stone. This is a marketing term used to describe a durable, non-stick surface often made from a PTFE-based (polytetrafluoroethylene) or ceramic-based coating with a speckled, granite-like appearance. The coating is designed to be lead-free, PFOS-free, and PFOA-free, ensuring it’s safe for cooking.

I don't personally believe that PTFE in cookware is safe for humans, let alone birds.

Pfas Non-stick Coatings

You’ll probably have read about and know about the dreaded PTFE and know to avoid it.... But have you heard of PFAS? I hadn’t and noticed it mentioned (that it wasn’t in the Product) when I unpackaged a lovely new GreenPan frying pan. PFAS’s are perfluoroalkyl substances - so Fluoro being the...

I just checked the back on the pans and they are kitchen Academy pans. Googled and you were right:

No, Kitchen Academy pans, like most non-stick cookware, are generally not safe for birds due to the potential for Teflon (PTFE) coating to release toxic fumes when overheated. These fumes can be lethal to birds, even in small quantities
 
I cannot remember the details but I went on a search some time ago for safe non-stick alternatives. I didn't find anything I liked or trusted so I just went with aluminium/stainless steel pans that do require a bit of elbow grease to clean.
I cannot make nice, tidy fried eggs any more but I, and more importantly my flock, are safe in the kitchen.

Edit: I used to keep two closed doors between the flock and my cooking when using non-stick but not for long. I could not feel good about it at all.
 
This is interesting reading but should still double check their offerings/recommends. I have a SS set and hate it! Only good point it can go in the dishwasher. I thought Scoville was OK but all that info has gone, so guess going green does not sell pans but going never stick does? :(

Interesting also although american https://thekitchenmastery.com/pfoa-ptfe-free-cookware/
 
We have stainless steel pans for boiling food or sauces etc. I do have a ceramic frying pan (it's pink) the label did say PTFE free, I think I got it from the range. We have stainless steel trays for the oven.

If its black coating it'll be ptfe/pfoa and I avoid.

You also need to think about Teflon in air fryers.
