Completely. What isn't glass (most of the lid) is stainless steel. The only plastic are the handles on the lid, steamer insert, and the chassis - and they're secured to outside surfaces with stainless steel screws. The lid is rimmed in stainless steel, and the pot and steamer insert (if included) are of 100% good quality stainless steel. (I own the 14 cup model and I cook a pound at a time of brown rice in it - I love it!)

If this is the one I bought, the pot is completely stainless steel. Lid is glass. I really like it! Makes great rice and soup.

I don;t think you have to worry about PTFE and PFOA since the cooker is not made of plastic(inside). It is made of stainless steel that does not contain PTFE and PFOA. The outside material does not effect what you are cooking in any way. I chose this product out of many because it is steel surface on the inside, including the steaming tray so I did not have to worry about PTFE and PFOA as well. Very happy with it. Hope it helps...

No. PTFE is the main ingredient in their nonstick coating. According to their label, PTFE is inert and will pass through the body without being absorbed.

Teflon. It may be BPA Free as someone said but that does not mean it is 100% safe. All teflon has The chemical - called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA - is used to make compounds called fluoropolymers, which are used in turn to make Teflon and other products like oil and water-repellent coatings on carpet, textiles, leather and paper. If you cook at very high temperatures some of the chemicals can be released in the air as carcinogens. That said, I use my 5-1 Griddler often and just make sure I don't turn the heat way up. It's just another thing for us to worry about. The FDA came out with this over 14 yrs ago and still has done nothing one way or the other. Teflon.

I think Panasonic SR-42HZP 23-cup (Uncooked) Commercial Rice Cooker, "NSF" Approved, Stainless Steel Lid does not have a Teflon coating inside. and that Panasonic SR42FZ 23-Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer does.

YES. It contains PTFE. PFOA was discontinued in recent years, so it does NOT have PFOA. But anyone who says it doesn't have PTFE is utterly wrong. Every Teflon, every nonstick, has PTFE. The only ones that don't are the new white/green ceramic nonstick pans.

Actually, because I am shopping for a new toaster oven and this one looks perfect for my family other than the non stick issue, I just contacted Kitchen Aid through their live chat. The non stick is Teflon, and it does contain PFOA, but according to the service agent helping me AND the scienctific community (I did a little research) the PFOA does not break down unless it is heated above 550-650 degrees F. Hope this helps.

Received this pan today and the packaging states "PFOA-free nonstick surface..."

There is no information on the box regarding pfoa coating. It shows as being slide and sear nonstick. Hope this helps.

Yes, I checked the skillet and looked it up at their website. #622-30G is PFOA free. Good luck, enjoy the skillet!

I do not know if it is ptFE or PFOA free. I have not had my metal handle or edging rust. I do not have a glass lid. They do not come with a glass lid. That you would have to buy seperately and mine has been backordered since June. I would suggest hand washing everything though because I have read where people have put the rack in the dishwasher then started rusting.

I just called Breville and it is NOT PTFE or PFOA free [I have a bird so I cannot have cookware or electrics that contain PTFE/PFOA] it's hard to get answers, but Breville, Cusinart and Calapholon ALL have their toaster & toaster convection combo ovens contain a non-stick coating with PTFE/PFOA. I'm calling Oster next, but they are closed now for the night. PS: to get an accurate answer on this type of "chemical" technical question, you really have to get to the corporate level [not the 800 CS] to get the ACTUAL info, many CS's said they were "free" but no one could show me on their websites where that was in writing. That's when each of the above co's got corporate involved, then either I was connected or they returned my call, then gave me the above info.

Greetings, The interior is cast iron. I do not know what PFOA is. We are happy with the various sizes and use them regularly with no bad effects. Enjoy!

This product is advertised as being PTFE free. We'll have to rely on Wearever's veracity.

A quick Google search reveals the actual product page on the manufacturer's website. On there, it lists them as being PFOA free:http://store.calphalon.com/productline/pfoa-free-nonstick-calphalon-unison-nonstick/4294959916-4294938856

The non-stick coating is ceramic based. Hence, there is no PTFE in the product. We now have a total of 4 of the pans, and, they are the best my wife and I have ever used. We are aged late 50's, so, we have used many pots and pans in our lives.

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.
