I don't understand the type of non-stick. Is it like Telflon? TIA!

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

It is non stick but I don't know if it is Teflon. It is a good product and we use it quite often

The coating does not appear to be Teflon, however it does have non stick properties. For example, dripped cheese can simply be whiped off with minimum fuss.

According to box - no. In fact I don't know of any non-stick finish Teflon or otherwise that is. It's easy to simply wipe clean with damp dishrag or sponge, then quick hide it before somebody stacks a bunch of dishes on it and scratches it!!

The non-stick coating is made of POLYFLON from Daikin.Here's the company's link:http://www.daikin-america.com/Products/default.aspxI looked it up. It was a complex chemical compound. No thanks.

I found a few entries in the "question and answer" section of the product page, that said it was not non-stick but I think those answers were informal answers from users and not a formal answer from the company. I had spent weeks trying to find information on toaster ovens without non-stick coatings and the only one that gave a definitive, company "there is no non-stick coating" comment, was the Waring Pro. I finally just gave up and went with this because it seemed ok and our experience has been good. We don't have birds but I'm pretty chemically sensitive and haven't had any problems with this unit. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for your inquiry. This item is PFOA free as for the PTFE is the non stick coating that is on our non stick cookware, without the PTFE the pan would not be considered non stick. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia D.

They are non-stick, but I doubt anything is made of Teflon today. I just don't know. Sorry

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.

This does have a nonstick but I don't believe it's Teflon, and I love it. Good weight and so easy to clean.

No it is not Teflon, it is non stick and I think it is backed into the cookware and will not peel. Could be Iron stone!

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 don't think it is officially "Teflon". It is a very thin layer of non-stick that works great, however, it can be easily scratched if you use metal utensils. My husband mistakenly put a knife in the pan when it was in the sink, then put a bowl on top of it. The weight was enough to scratch the non-stick coating to the metal. I love everything about these pans but the non-stick coating is definitely not top of the line. There is a model up from this from Rachel Ray that is not colored but is heartier in quality. If you want something that will hold up better, I would recommend that model as the non-stick coating appears to be harder. However, if you want a cheap set of great pans and you use non-metal utensils and be mindful of what you throw in the pan - these work great. If you want a set that will hold up to years of abuse, I would consider another brand.

It is Teflon and it works great. Don't be thrown off by how thin they are. I have both my ovens lined. It only covers the bottom of the oven. Spills wipe or shake right off. Mine have been in since December 20th 2012 and are still in great shape.

It's coated, but doesn't look like a nonstick coating. It feels more like an enameled (albeit very thin) coating, not the usual teflon. It doesn't really have any taste...strangely enough.

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.
