Does the non-stick surface contain PTFE?

I have no idea. I suppose I should. I didn't even know it was non-stick. Interior? The whole unit appears to be stainless. I am used to non-stick being black, like Teflon.

I do not know, but I am extremely sensitive to any PTFE and have had no trouble with this product.

I contacted the manufacturer and they said: The non-stick surface is not Teflon. After the Hard Anodizing process of the pan(s) is complete and non-stick surface is added.

Yes it is. The surface has a very good 'non-stick' coating. I've been extremely pleased with the performance of mine.

Here is what Nordic Ware says about their non-stick coatings in an FAQ on their website: "The nonstick coatings that Nordic Ware uses on all of its cookware and bakeware products are formulated to our specifications and produced in the USA by coatings companies that also supply the medical, military, foodservice and aerospace industries. We've chosen our suppliers because of their ability to meet our very precise quality standards. The coatings we use vary based on what type of food they will be releasing, and what temperatures the cooking vessel will reach. Our bakeware coatings are and have always been PTFE and PFOA-free, since an entirely different formulation is necessary to release sugars (associated with baking) than proteins (associated with meats and dairy). Our cookware coatings can be one of several formulations, depending on what substrate material they're being applied to (cast aluminum versus aluminized steel). We are able to state that PFOA is not present in any of the coating formulations that we currently use on consumer cookware products. PTFE (an entirely different compound than PFOA) is the material that gives nonstick surfaces their "slipperiness" and is widely used in consumer cookware coatings, including many of Nordic Ware's stovetop cookware products. Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and refers to a specific nonstick coating that they exclusively manufacture. Teflon is not used by Nordic Ware for any consumer cookware or bakeware finishes at this time. If you have additional questions about the nonstick coatings that Nordic Ware uses, please contact our Consumer Service Department" https://www.nordicware.com/faq#

Yes, if not Teflon, some other non stick surface. We don't spray it with anything and we don't wash it either. WE just wipe it after use. Never had a sticking problem as we have had with other products.

http://www.zojirushi.com/index.html website only mentions nonstick, not sure if it teflon.

The interior coating is enamel which, I believe, means it is PFOA free. It is not non-stick.

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

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.

If Erin's reply is correct, then it contains PTFE. From the Whitford website, "Xylan 8330: contains a high percentage of PTFE in the cured film for excellent nonstick properties"

No. It has an enamel finish, but not non-stick. You have to do a little prep on it and I still spray it with Pam before I use it.

The coating doesn't appear to be visible. It appears to be part of the pan. I have no clue what PTFEs or PFOAs are so I can't answer that question.

I don't know if it's Teflon or something else, but Yes it does have a non-stick finish on the inside.

No. The manual says it is "nonstick fluorine coated". You can find a pdf version of the manual on the zojirushi website or google for "cw-pzc.pdf"

Why would you say "Yes, absolutely" ??? I can find nothing on the Ecolution website saying what exactly their "Hydrolon" nonstick surface material is made of,only that it is made without PFOA. In fact, everything I've found on the web suggests that it *is* PTFE only processed without using PFOA. Either way, it's a good griddle. Ours is 3 years old, is used about once a week, and the surface is still as good as new. And PTFE is the most inert substance imaginable - keep it below 500F and there are no health risks.

Yes, and the non stick coating is great. After two years, not one bit of the coating is missing. I use it frequently and the non stick functions as well as it did in the beginning. Treat it well and it will serve you well.
