What is the non-stick material made of? I am looking to avoid using Teflon or any other material that could end up in my food.

I do not know what it is made of, but I can tell you after a couple years of use, the surface hasn't chipped or flaked at all. I don't think they really use Teflon anymore. The newer non-stick surfaces are tougher.

As far as I know, it is Teflon. I don't have the packaging information anymore, so I can't say for sure. Sorry.

I don't know what the non-stick coating is, but it's not teflon - much harder.

Did you ever get a definitive answer? We're considering this oven, but don't want any Teflon like coatings. Thank you.

Teflon, but make sure you check it the minute you receive it, I did not and when I did go to use it was broken, and by that time it was to late to return it.

It's not coated with anything, but I haven't had a problem with food sticking to it or it getting scratched up. It will damage non-stick pans, so be careful.

The Breadman BK2000B had a non-stick pan. Not sure if it was teflon or some other type of coating. I have returned mine, it was not working properly.

Not teflon. Hard anodized cookware is the best nonstick I have used. Rachael Ray cookware is very comparable to heavier, much more expensive cookware.

I contacted the manufacturer and they said: The non-stick surface is not Teflon. After the Hard Anodizing process of the pan(s) is complete and non-stick surface is added.

No problem, it is cast iron. The "non stick" is from baked in oil/fat so don't use soap to clean, don't soak in water and if you need to you can always re-bake it with more oil/fat.

Do some research on Zojirushi products and you will find that in every case the non-stick coating is a titanium ceramic compound. The typical coating in frying pans is Teflon. Thanks for trying to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) on a good product. How ignorant.

These are made of plastic, much like a spatula you would use on Teflon pans. I think they would be fine to use on your nonstick pans.

This cookware has a non-stick coating, aluminum does not come in contact with the food, using medium heat the coating is enert so nothing should release into the food.

It looks like Teflon, but I'm pretty sure it's not. These days there are dozens of formulations for non-stick surfaces. Almost all non-stick surfaces will have a certain expected lifespan, even if treated gently. The surface on this skillet should last a long time; I'm hoping for as long as the rest of the skillet. A five to ten year lifespan for this skillet and surface is about what I expect.

You should not. Get wood or top of the line rubber or hard plastic specific for non-stick cook ware.

I'm not sure of the material but it is not teflon; it's one of the newer non-stick materials. I love this pot and even purchased one as a gift.

It is Teflon inside. If anyone has any good recipe's I would love to have them or any good idea's for it's use. I hardly use mine. Other then making French fries or doing chicken strips and we're tired of both.

It is NOT teflon, it is a PTFE and PFOA free non-stick material - I called support to find out.
