Non-Stick Cookie Sheet

⚠️ USE WITH CAUTION

Baking cookies and roasting vegetables at high oven temperatures

Materials

Aluminum base
PTFE non-stick coating

Common claims

Easy release
Dishwasher safe
No-scratch baking

Concerns / watch-outs

Oven temperatures for baking (350–450°F) are exactly where PTFE begins to degrade
Dark non-stick sheets absorb more heat, accelerating coating breakdown

Notes

One of the worst-case scenarios for PTFE — used at exactly the temperature range where coatings degrade most. Strongly consider switching to stainless or parchment-lined aluminum.

Cleaner alternatives

Gotham Steel Non-Stick Pan

⚠️ USE WITH CAUTION

Non-stick everyday cooking

Materials

Aluminum with titanium-ceramic coating

Common claims

Ti-Cerama coating
No PTFE, no PFOA
Metal utensil safe

Concerns / watch-outs

Ceramic coatings degrade over time, especially with high heat
Titanium marketing claims not always backed by independent testing
Short lifespan before coating begins to scratch and peel

Notes

As-seen-on-TV ceramic non-stick with bold marketing claims. Better than PTFE but coating durability is average at best.
