from Presto Customer Service, Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles do have PTFE and PFOA.

Foil will disrupt the heat flow when cooking directly into foods. Cast iron is a great cooking surface by itself. You CAN wash it, but the best practice is to lightly abrade the surface with a plastic scrubby, maybe a very dilute soap solution, then rinse, dry thoroughly, then coat with mineral oil (won't go rancid), heat to about 200 deg for an hour, cool, store. That's all it takes. A slight food residue after cleaning won't be a problem because heating it just carbonizes it, adding to the protective layer. Keep doing it for a decade, or five, and you'll have an outstanding tool!!

I was measuring actual cooking surface. There is a raised, rolled edge around the perimeter, you can see it in the photo. It does get warm but to lay something flat you only get 8 3/4" surface.

Titanium-Coated Extra-Thick (5mm) Non-Stick Inner Pot with Round Bottom for Maximum Heat Distribution and Optimal Cooking!!!! I still love and used frequently this little gem. No pbs cleaning it quickly by hands or with a sponge. Hope this helps.

The cooking surface is 15 and 3/4 by 10 and 3/4 inches. It is the right size for 2 people.

It's cast iron so you shouldn't expect a perfectly smooth surface like a coated non-stick skillet. Mine was delivered in excellent condition and I have had no issues with the cooking surface.

The maximum heating surface is roughly 8 inches however if you are using a smaller diameter pan the bottom of the pan determines the cooking surface. It is ideal for smaller sauce pans as you are not heating areas outside the diameter of the pan. Hope this helps.

Yes, non-stick cooking surface. It's nice, hasn't warped like some of the less expensive griddles have for us.

I'm not sure, it's a black non-stick surface. The giriddle works great - stays hot and even. Just don't use metal utensils or you'll scratch the surface (doesn't seem to affect performance, though). Good luck.

The exterior is enameled and the cooking surface is nonstick. You can use it on an induction cookbook. It's great pan!

The cooker itself is all stainless. One of the inserts could be aluminum. No non-stick surfaces.

The cooking surface is quite adequate. Recently, Super Bowl Sunday we were having a party and I had two very large pots, one 20 quart and one 25 quart on the burners together and nom problem, one was steaming potatoes and corn on the cob, and the other was boiling shrimp. Kay Lowery

No, the actual cooking surface is: Inside measurements are: Top 15.5" long by 10.5 wide with a depth of 2 3/8" of cooking surface. The bottom is narrower than top by 1/2". The overall size of the product appears to be 16" x 12". This is the best product for the money that is presently out there on the market today. I love mine and only hope to find another like it if and when this ones stops working. Hope this has answered any questions you may have had for this item.

Fantastic on my glass-top range (Jenn-air). It has a smooth surface on the bottom. At 19.5 x 11 inches, it fit the surface over the two right burners perfectly. I grill meats and fish, make pancakes, cheese sandwiches. The non-stick coating works great. One of my best purchases.

I don't know what the surface is. In fact, I don't think it is a surface coating at all. I think it's the same material as the entire pot or pan. Whatever it is, it works great. I don't put them in the dishwasher and the the surface works great. Truly non-stick.

The cooking surface is a pizza stone. You put your pizza directly on it. The peel is wooden, but you might want to replace it with a higher quality one. The I haven't looked at or used the deep dish pan so I can't answer that.
