Is the non-stick coating one of the newer safe ones? I don't want a pan giving off dangerous fumes.

They make a line coated with QuanTanium which is PFOA free. My rule of thumb is if it doesn't say "green"or "Eco non stick coating" I wouldn't. This description mentions neither. Research Green or Eco non stick bakeware and you should see choices more fitting your needs.

Okay I was wondering the same so I called. The pan is made from heavy gauge steel. There is a non-stick coating on the pan that is not teflon and is a food-based, FDA approved (not that that's any reassurance) non-stick material that is found to be safe up to 500 degrees. The rep. also told me that it says it does not contain a certain type of acid or something that sounded like"BP." I was not sure what she was referring to but I plan to do research. Hope this helps others with the same question!

Is it still safe to use this pan when the non-stick is peeling off after 7 months of daily use? Purchased in Dec. 2, 2013. Failed July 16, 2014.

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.

Shouldn't be a problem. So far (I've owned these pans for a couple of months), these are the best non-stick pans I have ever owned.

The interior is billed as being "non stick" but the word "Teflon" is not mentioned. I've never had a problem with fumes.

I threw mine away. Very unsafe. The nonstick surface is anything but, and the coil is exposed on the bottom of the pan which can cause serious burns. Send it back.

There are new non stick coatings out that you can use medel utinsils, and go into the dishwasher. Those do not throw off toxins..You might want to look into those breadmakers!Its really isn't toxic unless the taflon seal is , cut, scraped off, so to speak, ..If you do not use high heat with taflon there is not a problem, but before using it, always heat itup for awhile with water in it, and wash it out again, then use it..We are all going to die of something, and I doubt at this point if its going to be teflon!

All non-stick pans have the potential to emit unhealthy fumes, but the problem isnt the pans, the problem is overheating. Never turn your pan higher than medium setting and you will avoid that problem.

That's kind of a crazy question, because I can't imagine a cooking pan with a toxic coating. Yes, though, this coating is non toxic, and it is a good one too.

Do not use steel wool. Soak the pan in detergent and use a plastic equivalent to the steel wool. Otherwise, you will destroy the non-stick coating.

Not really sure but for some reason I would think that the nonstick coating could be wearing off.

Short answer: it's safe. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/nervous-about-nonstick

I have not had any problems with these pans. You need to be sure they are 100% clean after each use (non-stick sprays leave a residue that is hard to get off) and you should be good to go! Love these little cakes, they do a nice job!

I truly do not know , but you can call ALL-CLAD, to find out you question , I have LTD of the All-Clad pan over 20 year never had a problem. but I would not used a metal utensils on the all-clad pan 3021.and I agree that it a non-stick coatingof a higher quality.

No, and that was a selling point for me. I don't want non-stick coatings, and have had no problems with food sticking when I use a spray oil or coconut oil.

No it isn't. I use it for heating liquids (water, soups) so I don't see the need for a non-stick coating.
