Non -stick stoves: the top 3 models to choose from 60 million consumers?

Since then, this magic coating has been pointed out because of the polluting substances that it can release. A bill was even passed on April 4 prohibiting certain products containing PFAS. However, it is not easy for the consumer to navigate in the new replacement coatings used today by manufacturers of non -stick stoves based on Teflon. Which pan to choose to take no risk? The magazine 60 million consumers investigated the subject And ranked the best products in the field. Here are the top 3 stoves to favor according to him.

If the practical side of non -stick stoves which allows you to cook many foods with very little fat is no longer to be proven, on the other hand its long -term effect is more worrying. The health authorities closely monitor the Teflon due to the presence of PFOA, a harmful compound belonging to the PFAS family, these persistent pollutants who could free themselves when the coating deteriorates. Its use and manufacturing have been prohibited since 2020. Since then, industrialists have turned to new PFAS called Gen-X, F53B or Adona on which studies on the health consequences are still lacking but which still grow to a precautionary principle.

In its latest issue, the magazine 60 million consumers has decided to take an interest in this topical subject by revising its 2022 comparison test on non -stick stoves: “Our test goes further than in 2022, with 36 substances sought a much more precise test than that than We had produced in 2022technology then not allowing to detect only half-dozen of these compounds ” can be read on the site.

For this, the test center was thus more precise on all the criteria in particular: resistance to abrasion, adhesion, migration of PFAS in food and analysis of the components of the coating.

Indeed, the analysis was particularly advanced as explained by the consumer association: “We first wanted to make sure that the non -stick stoves PTFE or ceramics sold in 2025 have no trace of PFOA, its use having been prohibited for five years. We have also tracked down the presence of other substances deemed concern or dangerous and governed by The Reach regulation of the European Unionsuch as pfos, pfna and other pfhxs. What matters, beyond their presence is to ensure that those who remain would not be able to contact food. We tracked them down in the new product, simulating food cooking in conditions allowing to cause their migration. A treatment far from what will undergo utensils in the context of normal use but reproducing the effects of medium -term use ”.

Following this work, among the ten non-stick stoves very present on the French market, the organization was able to determine what were the stoves having the best value for money.

The IKEA pan is the one that has the best value for money since it costs only 20 euros. She also stands out as “The choice of 60 million consumers” highlighted “Its excellent non -stick performance, its robustness and the total absence of PFAS in its coating, the only one in this case among all the products”.

Note, for the other products, we find, in fact, the mention “No allegation” On the subject. But then why is it only in second position? In reality, the pan contains a small defect: a lack of homogeneity of the heating. Indeed the product displays almost “A difference of 50 ° C between the hottest and coldest point, once the temperature of 190 ° C has been reached”. A weak point that 60 million consumers has not deemed “Rediciously”specifying: “If we continue the heating, the surface temperature ends up building”. It is therefore the right plan to know if you plan to change your stove shortly!
