Does this oven have a "non-stick" interior that is Teflon based? (I'm concerned about toxic fumes getting on all my food)

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

This model is also available at William Sonoma and their description says: "Generously sized baking chamber features an eco-friendly PTFE- and PFOA-free ceramic nonstick finish that's easy to clean."

The bottom of the oven is stainless steel. The sides don't appear to be Teflon. They feel more like an enamel. I have had no fumes at all and have used the boiler many times at the highest setting.

If you read it clearly, in the description it states that it is PFOA/PTFE free. Some are saying otherwise. So is it really PFOA/PTFE free or what?

Yes, all kitchenAid products are made to put off toxic fumes... But it is gluten free so there is that.

Dupont no longer uses PFOA in the manufacturing of Teflon. That was the ingredient that caused the fumes that were toxic to some birds.

Actually, because I am shopping for a new toaster oven and this one looks perfect for my family other than the non stick issue, I just contacted Kitchen Aid through their live chat. The non stick is Teflon, and it does contain PFOA, but according to the service agent helping me AND the scienctific community (I did a little research) the PFOA does not break down unless it is heated above 550-650 degrees F. Hope this helps.

The interior is billed as being "non stick" but the word "Teflon" is not mentioned. I've never had a problem with fumes.

No - that was why I wanted it! I don't like the teflon wearing off the pan and getting in to the food we serve. It's all stainless steel.

hi,The inside of oven is not nonstick, neither is the cooking pan that comes with it.The pan has an enamel finish like on roasting pans.The interior is a smooth metallic finish. Never the less it is a great convection oven.

The interior is not coated with non-stick. The interior of our toaster ovens are made of galvanized or aluminized steel.

The inside is not teflon--it is a coated ceramic that doesn't flake off like the usual non stick pans. I have these pans and they are really great.

I called Caphalon today to inquire, because I was interested in this based on the rave reviews - but I refuse to buy toxic cookware. They told me that the bronze is just for the color. I asked what the non-stick coating was, if it wasn't actually some kind of bronze coating. They stated it was their standard non-stick coating. After asking a third time, I was told it was "PTFE". In other words, Teflon. Heavily disguised with marketing of a "bronze non-stick" coating. Can't get away from this stuff!

It does not have a coating that I Am aware of. There is certainly nothing like Teflon that scrapes and scratches. This is why I purchased a ceramic brand, trying to get away from the extra chemicals. The ceramic cleans up easily enough.

I would say it is non-stick, but not the teflon kind that is painted on and flakes. I hate that. The liner is made of a material that is non stick. In fact I'm using it right now. I've used it to saute on the stove and the slow cook and it was fine and easy to clean. I love it actually.

No, not unless they are calling it a different name. But it does not resemble teflon at all.I wouldn't purchase anything with teflon.

Nothing in the Oster is "non-stick." It's all Stainless Steel, which is better because it's easily cleaned; "non-stick" (Teflon) comes off soon, and gives off fumes which smell & taste bad until then.

No, this pan has an all stainless-steel interior. They do sell non-stick pans but this model isn't one of them.

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

It is a non stick surface - I still have the box and it does not say "Teflon" - with a registered trademark. So I don't think it is teflon. But it is awesome, whatever it is.

No, non stick coating, it has a cleaning shelf on bottom. It comes with a nonstick tray. Gets very hot on the out side. Not good if you have chidren.

No it's the non stick Teflon(?sp).. it cleans up very well & very light weight. I have used it so much. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The response I got from Waring was:"There is no nonstick coating in any of our ovens. The TCOP650 has stainless steel interior and the rack are cold rolled nickel."So there is consensus that it is NOT non-stick. Whether the interior is aluminized steel or stainless steel is perhaps up for debate.
