Where is this model manufactured? Is there any teflon or other toxic coatings in the interior?

I don't see any teflon in mine. The plate on tye back says it is made in China. Mine is a couple yrs old probably now so check www.delonghi.com. I am concerned about China products also. Looking for new dishes they are all from there & I wonder how often they are checked for being toxic. Fiestaware seems to be the only US made dishes now.

Made in China. I can't find anything that looks like Teflon or any other protective coating.

Just got one for Christmas. The box says the coating is made in Germany, but the pan is manufactured in China.

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!

When I bought my set over a year ago. the outer box said made in China. the inner box had no markings of where it or the product was made. I contacted the seller and they claimed the cookware itself was made in Hungary. It is then transported to Germany where the coating is applied. The seller claimed that they bought the outer shipping box from uline later after they imported the items in on pallets. I ended up keeping the cookware and have had not complaints or issues with them but I still don't believe the seller.

While the Kyjen Co is in Colorado, I was dismayed to find after purchase it was manufactured in China. It is dishwasher safe. Honestly, I would have paid more for it if it was made in USA, as it is the only dish I have encountered that actually slows Violet in her endeavor to eat all her food in 2 gulps!

I am unsure where it is manufactured. But I can tell you that I love mine. I even use the lid to defrost frozen meats quickly. That was a pleasant surprise I discovered.

I believe it is made in China. I rarely purchase items made there but I got this for Christmas and I really love it. Nothing sticks. I make lots of gooey food on it and sticky stuff just wipes off. A bit of warm water loosens and a swipe with a dishcloth or sponge wipes it clean. It's heavy, sturdy and I use it regularly with no gooey staining to deal with. I also own the roasting pan and make pineapple upside down cake in it. Carmelized brown sugar, cake residue, nothing sticks. Pleasure to cook with.

Made in china. No paperwork inside. Box states designed for solo stove, which I have. The solo stove is small using wood chips and twigs and an open fire. The pots are steel but thin for use in backpacking and the handle small and better for stoves than large fire.

I don't have the box for the cooker anymore, but I do have the booklet that came with it. The booklet was printed in China, so I suspect the cooker is manufactured there. That said, the cooker is made from "high-fired porcelain" and since I don't cook acidic foods in it, I feel entirely comfortable using it. I guess you have to use your own best judgment, and I do understand your concern.

After contacting the company, I got an answer from "Elizabeth"(she says she is the only Elizabeth there). According to her, she and other customer service reps are told to answer inquiries regarding this, that what the interior coating is composed of "is proprietary information of the company". That's it. That is all they will tell you. AND, its made in China. So, do you really want to put your health in the hands of this company?? Beautiful oven, but such an answer is insulting, and simply not good enough. period.

Sorry to say it's made in China. It has a ceramic nonstick coating. I bought the 8 and 10" skillets and use one of them nearly every day. They are fantastic to cook in and clean. The food just slides out no matter what you cook in them, for instance cheese melted into my scrambled eggs. My first reason for the purchase was they work on my portable induction burner that I have on the counter. I've had them for about 3 or 4 months and they have become my favorites. Hope this helps you decide.

If you look on Rachel Ray's official website it says it is manufactured in Thailand. I am very disappointing in the product and the false guarantee. I used my set for about six months and the exterior enamel became discolored and the inside finish started to to chip, peel, and come off. I sent a couple of the really bad pieces back to Meyer Corporation and they did not replace them nor honor the warrantee. They said that I had used too high of a heat and that I used the improper utensils. I used medium to low heat because I have a gas stove and I bought and used Rachel Rays nylon cooking utensils. I am a senior citizen and have had many types of cookware over the years; many coated with Teflon and other non-stick products. I had never had this happen before. I can't afford to be buying cookware every 6 months. So, I will never buy anything distributed by Meyer Corporation and I hope Rachel Ray is aware of this so that her reputation is not tarnished by such bad products which bear her name.

It is made in China . Virtually the only domestic manufacturer of stainless steel cookware is All-Clad .

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.

Hi naturegirl, it is made on Portugal and is stainless steel on the inside. I love it!

It does not appear to be coated by Teflon. I would never use Teflon. The pan is not stamped with where it was manufactured. It works very well. I am pleased with it.
