I love my stonedine!!! Much better than teflon! I had calaphon before and stonedine is easier clean up, cooks more evenly, flatter bottom and no worries of warping!! Wouldnt own anything else!! Worth every penny!!

Teflon pans never had a chance, Stone dine was worth the money. I've used them everyday for a few months now and they still work like new. Never stick and easy to clean, and they are thick and heavy so I don't worry so much about the outside becoming warped from to much heat being exposed to them.

These were the best buy ever!!!!! We've been using them for 2 months now and there still working perfect. Nothing sticks to them and there so easy to clean.

We have had these pans for a few months, I think they are great. They don't stick, and are very easy to clean. The only thing is, you are suppose to hand wash them. Other than that, I think they are a lot better than Teflon. Expensive but worth it.

Yes. Teflon are chemical coated so that they are non-stick. That makes them not as safe for pregnant women and children.

These are the best pans out there. i have had many other pans in my 52 years including Teflon and Stonedine puts them to same. No stick ever and wipes clean very easily. They are worth the money.

No - it has a Teflon-type coating. The overall thickness of the pan is not very substantial, but it seems to work well for me.

I'm not 100% sure, but the plug in the handle is silicone so that should be fine. I'm not sure what the coating is made of. It's just a thin clear coat. The pan in general is an absolute tank so even if the coating was somehow damaged it certainly wouldn't affect the performance.

Wash with warm soapy water with soft sponge. After drying, rub a bit of cooking oil on it. Ready to go. Never use high heat with anything that's coated. It's common sense. Even for Teflon coated pans you are not to exceed med-to med-high heat. You let it sit on the stove and let it fire up on high heat, it is gonna ruin the coating.

My pan has a non-stick coating. I can tell as the interior of the pan is different as compared to the bottom. A mixed blessing, new they are excellent but with time they usually scratch and begin to peel. It is a heavy aluminum pan and an excellent product but I get tired of having to replace pans as the coatings do not last indefinitely

The coating on the Wilton doesn't look like any Teflon product I've ever had. So I doubt that it's coated with Teflon. But I'd check with Wilton to be sure.

It seems to be.....in fact much better than the teflon coated electric skillets. So far I really like it, but I have found you can not cook on high temps. like they suggest...I use 250 - 275 Degs to cook.....does much better. I like this skillet much better then any others I have used so far...no sign of the lining pealing yet...and it does not look like it will.

I know there is a controversy about the use of PTFE (Teflon being the brand name used by Dupont). I've noted that after a year of very extensive use, the nonstick coating on the pan in the Virtuoso, is lasting longer than the pan in the unit I previously owned. I see no signs of it wearing off, peeling, or discoloration, although I use a lot of seeds and other ingredients which would scratch a PTFE surface.

Go to scanpan cookware dot com and click on contact us. They will be able to answer your question better than anyone here. Amazon deletes web site addresses, that's why I spelled it the way I did. Just type in your web browser in the usual way. From a quick look on their site it seems they use a ceramic / titanium coating, not Teflon.

Yes, it is very durable. I have found it to be more so than any teflon coated pan I have owned. The only problem that I have found is that the area where the heat ring is gets extremely hot, and cooks things quicker when the stuff is on that area of the pan. My suggestion, just keep stirring, turning, or rotating the stuff.

The coating is nonstick. I don`t know exactly teflon or another one.I like it!

I don't know what the non-stick coating is, but it's not teflon - much harder.

No, it is not teflon. These pans clean up and react so much better than any teflon pan I've ever used.

It is a non-stick coating, though it doesn't specifically say "Teflon". You'd have to check with the the manufacturer to find actual name of coating. LS

It definitely has a coating which I assume is Teflon . I use this pan. 3X a week. Cleaning this pan is so easy!

Teflon coated. Have not used this set. Bought as a back up for emergency kits.

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.
