Does the insert have a non-stick coating? I'm trying to avoid this so it doesn't flake off down the road.

Yes it does have a non-stick coating, so you need to be careful of what utensils you use on it. I use wooden spoons.

I agree with the others, it's non-stick but I haven't had any issues with scratching or peeling. I typically hand wash but have put it in the dishwasher once or twice as well. It seems very sturdy.

I agree with the others that the non-stick surface seems to be sturdier than the old Teflon coating. I use a wooden spoon with my pan and it doesn't even show any scratching on the surface. I would say that with a little consideration for the surface that you should not have any flaking or other issues associated with Teflon.

Yes, but I haven't had any problems with it. I don't use metal utensils. It cleans up so easy.

I would say it is non-stick, but not the teflon kind that is painted on and flakes. I hate that. The liner is made of a material that is non stick. In fact I'm using it right now. I've used it to saute on the stove and the slow cook and it was fine and easy to clean. I love it actually.

I don't think it is a teflon surface that will flake, but it does not stick.
776653
Yes it does. But it's good for browning things. You just need to use plastic to stir-not metal.

Yes it does, but I have to admit I felt the same way as you do til I started using it. It is very sturdy coating. Not like the cheap non stick pan coating. It has been very durable as you would find in the higher priced non stick pans and clean up is so easy, no scrubbing involved at all. I yet to have even the slightest scratch on the coating and I have used the slow cooker once to twice a week since I have received it. Hope this helps you.

Not sure about the non-stick coating, but I really like it. Beautiful red!!

I didn't care for it and returned it. The pan is plastic and concave. Not sure about non stick coating.

it's not a coating that scratches off. it is more like a non stick sauté pan. We have had many fun family dinners with the raclette.

No it does not have a non stick coating. I personally do not like them because you end up eating the coating before long.

YES IT DOES HAVE A COATING. LOOK AT THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION- "Coated with non-stick coating for easy food release and cleaning".

No, but I rub the bottom with a little oil, and it helps things not to stick.....I didn't want the coating that is used in non-stick for health reasons......cooking at a lower temp and stirring often also helps with the "sticking" problem.

No it isn't non-stick. It's brushed stainless steel. After a dozen or so uses it starts accumulating a white film (I think it's calcium). This will depend on your water. It comes clean by adding some vinegar to the water and boiling/cooling it 2 or 3 times.I suspect a non-stick coating would have flaked off by now since I've had mine 5+ years and use it at least a couple times a day.

It does have a non stick coating but I'm no. t sure if it is Teflon or some other brand name. I've been using this almost daily for the past 3 months and I've haven't had it flake or crack. As long as you have wash the pot with a soft sponge it'll last a while.

The only way the non stick coating will come off is if its scratched off, using metal knives or forks, over wooden spoon, etc, and cleaning with a steel wool pad. I have had mine for over a year now, cooked many pot roasts, even used a metal knive a few times, oops, but still have all of my coating in tact, its even been run through the dishwasher. Nothing lives forever but this is a great product plus it has an actual temperature setting and not that preset digital stuff you get with others.

There is no "coating" but the cast iron is "pre-seasoned" and is truly non-stick - we just wipe clean with soapy water and a "scrunchy" (non-abrasive). We mostly use it for bacon on the griddle when camping, but also to hold down the English Muffins to get a great "grilled" top - works great

The insert is steel with a nonstick coating. I still use a little oil, however, and the cooked egg slides right out.

It DOES NOT have a non-stick coating. This is a classic quarter sheet that I think you would find in many commercial establishments, perfect size for many tasks. Highly recommended.I purposely bought it because it does not have a coating. I do not like those coatings, just as I have sworn off teflon coatings, but that is another story.

It does not have a non-stick coating. This is straight, shiny stainless steel and one of the best pans I've worked with since I started cooking. You can use a lower heat for cooking and if anything sticks (pudding or cheese sauce) just run hot water in it and let it sit for about ten minutes and it will clean up with no trouble at all. You won't need high heat to cook in these pans like you do with teflon coated pans. They heat up very nicely on lower heat settings.

Yes, it does have a non-stick coating...and we've stopped using that. Invest in Le Cruset if you can.

We have not had any issues with rice sticking to the removable insert. It is truly non-stick.

Not really, and it's not a non-stick coating either. To be honest I'm not sure what its made out of, it works alright but you have to grease it like anything else
