What makes the nonstick surface nonstick?

The surface is your typical nonstick surface, although if your waffle batter contains sugar they will stick. I use Pam Coconut spray and mine never stick. There is really no taste to the spray, I like it because it can hold up under a lot of heat. Hope this answer helped you.

Food contact surfaces, including non-stick coatings: Non-stick coatings are used to help foods release from their cooking surfaces or to assist in ease of clean-up. All food contact coatings and surfaces specified by Focus Electrics are formulated according to United States Food and Drug Administration standards and are applied according to industry guidelines. Non-stick coatings are made of Fluoropolymers, which give them qualities that allow food to not stick to cooking surfaces. Teflon, often referred to as a chemical, is a trademarked name for a Fluoropolymer used by the DuPont Corporation. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a type of Fluoropolymer used in our non-stick cookware applications. More information regarding Fluoropolymers and their applications are available at http://www.fluoropolymer-facts.com/ Refer to the instruction manual included with your product for specific care and use guidelines. Pulled up this information directly from the West Bend website.

The previous answer is correct. It is made in China, however, it is still a great quality product. The nonstick surface is ceramic, which in my opinion, is the best kind available on the market today.

It has a nonstick surface. It is black on the bottom and sides with the coating. I LOVE this pan. When my first one wore out I bought another one. I have only had two in 11 years. I like the holes in the skillet lid that helps pour out liquids.

There is a slightly rippled texture to the surface - only noticeable when looking closely at it - and the combination of this texture and the materials used to make the surface make for a great non-stick surface. We've used ours regularly for a couple of months now and have yet to use any type of Pam or other product. Food glides right off.

It is a stainless cooking surface. There are fine scratches that appear with use, but it cleans up easily and we prefer it over the non-stick skillets we owned it the past. We use Spectrum Canola Spray Oil when making pancakes, eggs etc.

It's nonstick, not ceramic. We use it a couple of times a week and still love it!

Usually nonstick surfaces are only a problem when the surface is scratched and enters food you eat.Use rubber or wood to remove eggs, and it should be safe.

Exterior surface is stainless steel finish, but the interior is a non-stick, Teflon-like coating.

It's not a non-stick surface like traditional non-stick pans. The materials used are infused into the pan all the way through. My suspicion is that indeed the non-stick factor is covered as the pan would only consist of the part touching the heating element and the handle.

This skillet does have a non-stick surface but I don't know about using metal utensils. I haven't used metal utensils on mine because I have usedthe nylon utensils for so long on this type of surface, it has become the natural thing to do. Sorry if this doesn't help you.

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

The packaging does not specify. It definitely has a coating, but I'm not sure what it is. It just says non-stick surface. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

The Oneida website calls it aluminized carbon steel. It is very heavy gauge. I don't know what the non-stick surface is, but it works very well. I have not used it for cookies, but I have used it for pizza and the baked cheese that falls off just slips off the pan. I am very happy with it.
