can you kindly tell me if this pizzelle maker is made of teflon-coated stainless steel, or aluminum, or..? (thank you in advance)

naturegirl:Teflon coated, this makes adorable cookies, just the right size to fit in a coffee mug and give as a gift for holidays, birthdays, which is by the way, why I purchased it,the only problem I have, it does not bake evenly. There is a DARK line across a lightly baked cookie. I am waiting for the Cucino Co to respond with a possible reason why. I will still keep it and use it, but not the quality I expected for the money

Teflon, but make sure you check it the minute you receive it, I did not and when I did go to use it was broken, and by that time it was to late to return it.

Teflon or non-stick. I use Pam and then wipe it off and they don't stick. I Love it!

It is coated with a non-stick material. I believe that because of its weight that it is aluminum.

I think it is Aluminum. Because of the dull finish. It is not shiny like Stainless. Is also light weight. And I love the Secura Ice Cream Maker!

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.

While I do not know the answer, I'd recommend asking Cuisinart directly, as they would have the information you want. Also, apparently Teflon is no longer created with PFOA & there are supposedly lots of nonstick coatings that aren't dangerous, but don't take my word for it, it's just something I was reading. Still, recommend asking Cuisinart, because unless the customers on Amazon happen to have taken part in the manufacturing, they most likely do not know. :(

It appears to be Teflon. I rub it with a very small amount of vegetable oil before using, then wash with warm soapy water after using. Works great. But be aware that it's big and heavy. (Just what I was looking for.)

It appears to be teflon. I know it washes up really easy. I mainly use it for pasta.

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.

I'm not sure if you are asking if these are made in the USA (which they are) or what they are made from. They are made from anodized aluminum and "It features a nonstick ceramic coating that is metal utensil safe and is PTFE, PFOA, Cadmium and lead free. The aluminum base guarantees high heat retention making it excellent for searing meats, poultry, and fish and it delivering crisper, more evenly cooked food." This means if you can't scratch it like the teflon coated ones (although you can chink it or scratch it if you are using metal utensils - so don't) BUT it does not leave deadly toxins in your food from the teflon. If you let the pan heat up at medium, I guarantee you that you will not even need to use butter or spray because it WILL slide right out. I am truly amazed at the product for the price point. They are amazing. Worth every dollar, but they are so reasonably priced - who cares??? :-)

I am sorry....I honestly do not know whether it is made out of stainless steel or aluminum. I can tell you though that I absolutely love this machine!!

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!

I believe that the "non-stick" material is some other kind of non-stick coating Cuisinart does not specify. However, Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and the original patents expired a long time ago. So the coating could very well be "Teflon." It does seem to scratch easily, but the device does do an excellent job. We're happy with it.

The cooking pot is teflon coated aluminum. This cooker works really well. It produces great rice. and allows one to focus on things other than the rice.

I believe it is some type of teflon coated aluminum. It has proven to be very durable and does well washing in the dishwasher. I love it!

it looks like teflon but it could be a more recently used coating. i'm pretty sensitive about these kinds of "processed" coatings and i also refuse to cook with aluminum foil. but this coating is fabulous. it assists with keeping the frother clean and keeps you from damaging the rotating blade on the bottom. all you have to do to clean it is spray with some responsible cleaner and rinse. i love it.

I believe it's aluminum. Whatever, it works like a charm on the gas stove in our RV which only has one adjustable burner (and not very adjustable, at that). With it, I can make bernaisse sauce, cream soups, all sorts of things I couldn't cook before. I'm thrilled with it.

It says that it is made of "aluminized steel" but feels more like just aluminum. Also appears to have a somewhat thin teflon-like coating. As noted in my review, teflon had shown some wear upon receipt from shipment contact with the rack.
