Cook with little to no oil

For public health reasons, authorities recommend to limit the consumption of fat. In 1956, T-fal launched the first non-stick coating cookware, enabling cooking with little to no oil. On top of this nutritional benefit it helps to better preserve the original flavor of food.

Thermo-Spot® Technology

Since 2000, T-fal products are equipped with Thermo-Spot® technology which turns full red when the pan is properly preheated. It guarantees perfect texture, perfect color and perfect taste for delicious full-flavored meals every day.

Healthy Cooking
Day After Day

Our researchers work with the constant aim to extend the durability of our coatings so they remain non-stick and safe even after years of intensive cooking.

What is PTFE?
 

PTFE or polytetrafluoroethylene is a fluoropolymer. Used in non-stick coatings, it is made up of a chain of thousands of carbon atoms, with two fluorine atoms attached to each carbon atom. This structure gives PTFE a very high chemical inertia, making it harmless to human health, It also makes it exceptionally resistant to high temperature and very “glidable”, providing it with non sticking properties that are ideal for producing a very effective coating for cooking pots and pans.

• PTFE is known to be inert and non-bioaccumulative. It is frequently used in the medical field (pacemakers, artificial arteries, prostheses, etc.).
• As studies conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have shown, particles of PTFE that have been swallowed pass through the body, just like any other fiber that flows through the digestive system without being assimilated. Due to its high chemical structure, PTFE has no effect on the body when ingested.
• Therefore inadvertently swallowing a micro piece of the coating is safe. The human body does not assimilate these particles.
• However, scratches can reduce the non-stick qualities of the utensil, so we advise you to use it in accordance with brand instruction for use and replace it in case coating alterations.
• T-fal works constantly to improve the quality and durability of its coatings and is always coming up with more scratch-resistant coatings.
