Is the device non-stick?

Yes. But every once in a while I just spray some nonstick spray on it and wipe it off to keep it nonstick.

It looks like the Pancake factory, which Amazon doesn't carry anymore. If it is the same, it has a non-stick surface that diminishes overtime. I've learned, from other non-stick products, that the aerosol cooking sprays actually diminishes the "non-stick" ability overtime. You can use animal fat (lard) without batter to restore "some" of it non-stick ability. Also when resuming use a good quality oil and wipe with a paper towel (same with sprays).

It appears to be a non stick coating but can stick . So I use a very light coat of oil.

I , too, thought it was non-stick until I over cooked a pancake a bit and now everything sticks even if I coat it with oil.

no. and I am revising my opinion. don't get it if you want a non stick. just get a cheap non stick.. wears out... get another.

Ours is definitely NOT "non stick". And I should know, my wife insists that I wash it after we use it. That's not fair. help me!

It is not non stick, it is stainless steel. The bottom of the pan has aluminum encapsulated in stainless steel. If you prep. the pan correctly it is almost as good as non stick.( and you are not eating the non stick coating)

No, but it is HARD plastic. If you are worried about scratching your non-stick cookware, get a silicone coated whisk.

No. It has an enamel finish, but not non-stick. You have to do a little prep on it and I still spray it with Pam before I use it.

Yes and No! The box says it is non-stick; however, before the first use, you must season it with cooking oil, bring the temperature up to 300 degrees, let it completely cool, then wipe out the oil. The oil (canola) was very difficult to wipe out because it became tacky. After all of that preparation, it did clean up easily after use.

it is not a non-stick surface. You have to make sure you oil, pam, butter the pan well in order for items to not stick. It's a little learning curve if you haven't cooked like this before, but I love my SS skillets way more than the teflon coated skillets I've had in the past.

You are correct. It is not "non stick" surface. If you preheat the cookware, and use proper cooking technique nothing will stick!

Yes, it is, but it cleans so easy, I don't do it, same as any other non-stick item.

Yes, its non stick --- after 100's of loaf's kneaded, the only issue is there are a couple of ribs on the sides of the pan and the heavy dough I make with nuts has caused some wear on the ribs. Which isnt an issue.

Yes, the non-stick insert is required. Under that is just the heating element.

http://www.zojirushi.com/index.html website only mentions nonstick, not sure if it teflon.

No, non-stick. Also the non-stick surface only lasted about 5 years before we had to toss it. Still a very good pan though.

YES - it is NOT a non-stick product - I guess you could call it a "stick cookware set" You can use metal utensils with it, maybe that says it best.

It is not nonstick. Most foods cook well but you do need oil, but eggs aren't something you want to use in this pan. If things do stick, when the pan is cool then put some water in it and let sit for a bit and it cleans up good. The pan is an excellent heat conductor and you don't need use high heat at all. I love the high sides.

Not sure - it is non-stick but you have to treat it the first two uses with non-tick spray or vegetable oil.
