Do they have a non stick surface?

NO... but if you rub a little butter around the edges of the inside metal, it will help greatly in allowing you to open up the grill (without sticking) to check on the toasting process. Also spread a little butter on both sides of the bread ... this keeps it from sticking to the metal and also makes a nice golden brown color on the bread. You can butter one side and place it face down it inside the grill, then butter the other side (which should be "on top".)

No, they have a wipe off surface. Just wash off and dry. Before you use it again use a paper towel to to remove any surface oxidation.Trust me, when you get it down you will love it.

we have the 2 of the original ones and have always buttered the bread lightly before toasting in the iron. My early memories were of my mom making us cream cheese filled toast tite sandwiches...yum!!!!

Short answer. Yes. We have only had them for 6 months but so far they are the best pans I have ever had. I have never needed to use anything other than a plain sponge to clean the cooking surface.

No, but that's how I like them. Non-stick always seems to cause over and uneven cooking in my experience.

I don't know. I've never done anything to mine except use them (I don't cook a lot) but they are still in good shape and stick free.

It is NOT a non-stick set. However, heating of the pans properly and using butter or oil, I have never had anything stick to these pans.

No, they do not have non-stick coating. But with a little Pam spray and flour the cakes come out easily.

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.

They do not have a non stick coating, but very easy to prep. Cook evenly ...almost perfectly every time with an added benefit of a healthier option compared to a non stick product.

No they do not, but the unit is cleaned very easily. I take a damp cloth/paper towel while the unit is still slightly warm, and wipe it down. Works great because of the non-stick surface. I have never had anything stick hard to it that I could not clean up. When it does cool down you can use a soapy cloth to finish up the cleanup. Make sure that you unplug the unit for safety.

It does not have a non stick surface. It is however stainless steel and is easy to clean.

Yes, but we've had very poor performance from these pans. The non-stick coating only lasts a year or so, and they don't cover that under their "lifetime warranty." Read my review posted 9-1/2-14Bob - NJ

They are just as non stick and they wipe clean. Don't have mess with cutting the paper to size.

No, they have a stainless steel cooking surface. For cleaning, I either de-glaze, or use a scour pad. Still, I am very happy with this set.

These pans do not have no-stick. They don't need it. Stainless steel saucepans are so easy to clean, that non-stick is just something that will eventually go wrong with them. These are very nice pans and will last a very long time. They are well made... nice enough that I bought a set for my sister!

Yes, we absolutely love these pans and they are still nonstick after over a year of daily use!

Yes...they are flat and do great on a flat glass top. Best cookware Ive purchased in a long time. Cooks evenly and quickly.
