Is this "non stick" stuff teflon? I'm looking for something that's plain anodized aluminum.

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

The coating is something called Eterna. It's similar to Teflon but supposedly superior (I haven't used it myself so I can't endorse that fact). It's not anodized aluminum either; that's the coating on the outside of the pan.

No it is not Teflon. They are an excellent set of cookware. I am very happy with them.

Yes, it is Teflon coated but I have had mine for 2 years and it is holding up fine.

It's plain solid through anodized aluminum. There is no better quality pan out there. Top of the line. I've owned everal expensive and not so expensive"name brand" sets of pans and this by far my favorite! I've been a chef in and out of the restaurant business for 22 years and have had lots of opportunity to try all kinds of pans before purchasing for myself. I don't think you would be disapointed.

You'll definitely scratch the pan. Anodized aluminum is harder than regular aluminum, but not as hard as steel. In general, you should treat it the same way as a non-stick pan (i.e. use rubber or plastic utensils when possible).

It does not have a non-stick coating. It's pure anodized aluminum and cleans up easily.

This is not nonstick aluminum, all stainless as far as I know. It was a gift for someone.

The inside is non-stick but I don't believe it is teflon. The old model I had previously had the old brown teflon inside, that is why I disposed of it and got the new model. I love this one. Nothing stcks and it is the perfect size. I use it two or three times a week.

No, it's some sort of treatment called anodized aluminium. It works great, better than teflon, but still needs to be treated with care. I LOVE these pans.

It is not non stick, it is stainless steel. The bottom of the pan has aluminum encapsulated in stainless steel. If you prep. the pan correctly it is almost as good as non stick.( and you are not eating the non stick coating)

I'm sorry--I don't know if it's Teflon, but it definitely is non-stick. However, the pan is not level, so if you pour batter or eggs into it, they all run to the outside. The middle is higher than the edges.

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!

Correct: Hard-Anodized is NOT "Non-Stick." The Hard-Anodized surface is generally more durable than a "Non-Stick" surface.

No. A higher grade non stick composite. More durable than Teflon. Terrific cookware. Just use your imagination. I purchased 5 for gifts. Had a patata cook-off with family. Great fun.

See previously posted review : http://www.amazon.com/review/RA1LGZCAACB2T/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0067MQM48&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= Teflon won't be the only concern you'll have. See my review about aluminum :

these pans are stainless steel and this surface is ceramic of some type. aluminum can be anodized but I don't think you can anodize stainless steel, saying that the " quantanium" surface is superior a Teflon based coating.

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.

I hope this helps, but I'm assuming it's teflon because there is a non-stick coating.

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.

Teflon I believe is a name brand, I am guessing the non-stick coating is the same type of material.
