What makes this non stick? I am not a fan of man made non stick coatings.

i believe it works like a cast iron skillet. you season it so there is NO non-stick coating. i have had mine for a long time and absolutely love it, inside and outside.

I would love this griddle if they applied a non-stick coating but alas, that is NOT the case and food sticks.

Just the carbonation of the oil you use to season the pan. There is no man made non stick coating.

It is steel, without any non-stick coating. We love this griddle. We just spray the griddle with a light coating of vegetable spray before using, food comes off easily.

In order to make a non-stick surface, the griddle needs to be "seasoned". Instructions for 'seasoning' are included with the griddle. When seasoning, it's preferably done on an outdoors grill. To season the griddle, season as you would any cast iron pan. It will smoke while seasoning. Do not scrub the griddle or use soapy water as it will remove the seasoning.

It not non stick in the sense that coated non stick pans are. It becomes somewhat non stick like a cast iron skillet with curing and repeted use.Cure as you would a cast iron skillet. The more you use it the better the non stick properties become

It is not nonstick in the sense that coated nonstick pans are. There is no coating, just plain, bare steel. It becomes somewhat nonstick like a cast iron skillet with curing and repeated use. Cure as you would a cast iron skillet. The more you use it the better the nonstick properties become provided you wash it gently and don't scrub off the cure.

It's like a wok and cast iron skillet as you first have to season it with oil and heat; instructions can be found on the internet. The more you use it, the more nonstick it becomes.

I retained the packaging but it makes no mention of the word "Teflon", simply "non-stick" so if it's not Teflon, I would expect it to be a similar coating.

It is not stainless and it is most likely aluminium but coated with a non-stick surface.

It appears to be (may not be) stainless. As for "non-stick", not sure. Never had any prooblems with sticking, though.

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.

Fry pan is not non stick coated. I was disappointed in that part of it because I have an induction stove and have had many dishes stick to the pan, i.e. fried eggs

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

No problem, it is cast iron. The "non stick" is from baked in oil/fat so don't use soap to clean, don't soak in water and if you need to you can always re-bake it with more oil/fat.

Don't think it's a non-stick coating - I use it to bake bacon and the bacon sticks somewhat in the places where it's well-done.

I'm not sure what type of metal it is.... it is not ceramic or glass but some type of metal. It is not non-stick. I'm guessing stainless steel?

There is nothing on the product's box or in the instruction book that indicates exactly what the non-stick material is. It only says, "Coated with the world's most advanced non-stick technology." You may be able to find the answer by contacting the manufacturer at www.chefschoice.com. The company is actually Edgecraft Corporation in Avondale, PA, ph. 1-800-342-3255.

No part of it is nonstick. If it were, I would not be using it daily--or at all!

Mine is stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating to speak of. It's not like a coating you might find on a pan or pot, it's simply stainless steel. With a little oil, I have had no issues.

I have had no problems whatsoever with the non-stick coating. I always wash my pan and paddles by hand after they have completely cooled. I also never use anything but non-metallic tools and never use abrasive cleaning materials.

I don't know and the instructions I got with the grill don't mention what the non-stick surface is made of.

I don't see a coating. Mine is just a silver/steel finish. I don't know why it would need to be non-stick, since you don't use it for cooking. I do notice that I get a slight coating of citrus oil, but it's easily washed with soapy water and a washcloth.

No coating that I can see...not Teflon ....the grease does not stick to the container anyway.
