I do not know about the coating - it does not appear to have a coating when you look at it and I always grease/and or grease and flour my pans before adding the batter so I really am not bothered by whether or not it is non-stick as there has been no problem with that. I do wash all my cookware by hand instead of using the dishwasher - it makes them last longer and gets them cleaner.

what about it? It works well, doesn't come off if you use wooden or plastic utensils.

All non stick coating is toxic if you eat it that means if you use a metal object to cut or remove what you have in the pan and damage it so the non stick is coming off or has a sratch in it there is a chance for it to get into the food you have cooked and has the possibility of causing cancer though the amount that you would have to consume to cause to get sick within a couple days would be enough to cover 30 pans that's what my dr told me when I asked I hope this helps with your question

Epoca customer service says it's sandblasted stainless steel, which is potentially toxic and I returned my kettle. Stainless steel is an excellent cooking surface *unless* it has been damaged via harsh scouring or otherwise (and sandblasting is pretty harsh!). In that case it can leech nickel which is toxic. Google "healthiest type of cookware" for more info.

It's carbon steel, not stainless, and should never be left in standing water. Rub it out with some wd40 or 3 in 1 oil.

It isn't a carbon texture... It is a smooth black surface with more shine to it but not glassy/glossy

I painted the lower unit of my outboard motor with it. It is in salt water very often and so far after 6 months of use it is holding up very well. Is it toxic to fish? Who knows.

This knife in high carbon steel most certainly WILL rust and discolor, but nowhere nearly as easily as "regular" carbon steel will. You can't leave it wet. Clean the blade and dry it after each use. It is not stainless steel and wouldn't be nearly as good if it were.

The title mentions "carbon." The description calls them "charcoal." Isn't charcoal carbon? This is a steal at the quoted price.

It is not coated. It is stainless steel. Good news is you won't end up ingesting the chemicals from the coating. Bad news is almost everything we cook, even bacon, sticks to the surface.

I have no idea about Non-toxic? I presume so since this is aimed at very young children! Companies can be ruthless so I would recommend you double check. My kids were past the chewing stage when I purchased this. The insert are plastic sleeves but very durable. Mine are still in very good shape.

I believe it must be from the look and feel of it, and how nicely it sheds burnt on food. I think it's probably not toxic because it's below the heating element, so does not get very hot, but I'm no expert.

No, it shouldn't mess with it. At least that I could tell. Its a thin not noticeable coating.

I'm not sure what you mean by non porous I have used it in 2 tanks and it seems to work like regular carbon it also sizzles when you wash out the dust

No it is not Non Toxic. Meaning that it is the traditional style of Dupont coating & only the new Ceramic based non-stick coatings are non toxic. Also an indication that a coating is the older style coating is if it limits the oven safe temperatures, and this 1 is only safe up to 400 degrees because of the coating.

Just went and examined mine and didn't find any coatings. Has a rubber seal for the two chambers, that's it for non-metallic parts.
