Is the inside teflon, or what other material is it? Is the material toxic in any way? Is there aluminum in this pan at all? Thanks

This is a cast iron skillet with a ceramic finish. There is no teflon or toxic material or aluminum in this skillet.

It has an enamel coating. The pan is made of cast iron. It is a great skillet.

There's no Teflon or other nonstick coating. The pan is enameled cast iron.... Colored on the outside and very smooth black on the inside. After the hot pan cools, I fill it with warm water and let it sit for a bit. It then wipes clean very easily.

The material is enamel, not Teflon. It has nonstick properties when the pan is used as designed, but is not inherently nonstick like Teflon. The pan is cast iron under the enamel - no aluminum anywhere.

From what I have researched about this product is the base is cast iron (NO aluminum) and the coating is ceramic (NOT teflon). I purchased this for safety reasons just like it sounds like you may be. (Aluminum is linked to Alzheimers and the Teflon is a carcinogen.) Do have a little bit of a problem with sticking and they are quite heavy - but very well made and I will sacrifice a bit of sticking for keeping my health in tack! They seem to be rated overall as one of the safest from what I have read. Hope this helps!

No non-stick or aluminum. All very thick stainless. Because of the thickness of the bottom you don't scorch food.

This coating is far better than teflon. I have used this cookware for over 5 years now and it is still in excellent condition as the day I bought it and nothing sticks to it. It's fabulous. As far as the health risks, I wouldn't worry. Rachel puts quality into everything she makes. I love this set so much that I bought another 5 years later and I still haven't opened the box. When this set does wear out, I have a backup. Hope this answers your question.

The inside is non-stick but I don't believe it is teflon. The old model I had previously had the old brown teflon inside, that is why I disposed of it and got the new model. I love this one. Nothing stcks and it is the perfect size. I use it two or three times a week.

Looks like you need to find out if there is aluminum in the base of any pan you are considering. I do not know if this one contains aluminum. On my electric range, this is a magnificent pan. I love it.

It can be nonstick and not be Teflon. I own this and am now concerned that it's Teflon. (Or at least contains PFOA.) If it does, I'm going to stop using it. Researching now.

The pan is definitely made of aluminum. I still have the packaging that came around the pan because it has recipes on the inside of it. it says on the packaging made of aluminum for even cooking throughout. This pan has been awesome.

According to the description it is a Nonstick aluminum insert pan. If you view the image it shows the food inside the aluminum insert pan. Here is a video from Hamilton describing this Cooker: http://youtu.be/7lTnonGP27M

The surface is a light weight metal, and is "non-stick", but I can't tell if it is Teflon or not. It doesn't look like it to me, but it is the same color as the teflon pans.

It seems a little heavy for aluminum, but I'm not sure. I don't think it's Teflon but the non stick coating is very thin. Having said that, it's a good little product that does its Job. Just handle with a little care when cleaning.

It is not non stick, it is stainless steel. The bottom of the pan has aluminum encapsulated in stainless steel. If you prep. the pan correctly it is almost as good as non stick.( and you are not eating the non stick coating)

I don't have the pan in front of me, but the company website says aluminum. I'm not sure if there any any other materials in the base. The handle is stainless steel and rubber.

Nancy, these cups are teflon coated. I have worked with this material for over 40 years in the lab and commercial areas. Teflon is non-toxic no matter what others may tell you. Having said that you need to judge what you think is best for you. Me, I have no negative feelings what so ever about any non-stick coating. Think about the 100's of millions of pans sold. This answer will show as my wife but the husband bought the pan and answered the question.

The pot itself is stainless steel. I just cook with that. You may be talking about an aluminum insert, but I don't use an insert. There is aluminum in the bottom of the pot for even heat distribution but the food cannot contact that aluminum because it is covered by stainless steel.

It seems to be a light gauge aluminium compared to other pans I have used in the past, the cakes slide out perfectly, and are super easy to clean, No coating on them which is why I bought them, I don t like artificial coating. I like them so much better then any pans I have used in the past. They are just simple aluminium baking pans, but since all my friends who do major baking use Wilton I knew they would be good. I know this really doesnt completely cover your answer, but they work and are safe. I refuse to use teflon products Happy New Year

This pan is all steel on the exterior and interior surfaces with a full aluminum core. It is NOT NON STICK, it is a stainless steel pan. And it's amazing btw!
