Is this a nonstick surface inside? Anyone having any problems with food sticking?

Stainless steel. With about a tablespoon and a half of oil (split across eight servings of stew or roast that's--22 calories?) I've sauted tons of onions, carrots, pork chops, chicken thighs, and ground beef for chili in this pot with superior results, and it still looks almost brand new. I also like it for boiling spaghetti. For eggs, pancakes, or pan-frying potatoes, I recommend Calphalon Unison Slide skillets and omelet pans--perhaps two or three in different sizes--if you need non-stick. Way worth the price, the slippery surface seems to last much longer than other brands. I find ceramic nonstick lasts about a year or less before the slip quality degrades. I wouldn't recommend those Calphalon skillets to do the kind of job this Cuisinart pan does, any more than I'd recommend a chef's knife when a serrated bread knife is the right choice. Good luck, Scott!

No. This is a stainless steel pan. I have not had any problems with food sticking. If foods stick when finished cooking, cool pan and fill with water. Let soak for a while or overnight. Sticky foods remove quickly. Try using no-stick spray when frying eggs. They slip out effortlessly. I, too, love the high sides.

It is not nonstick. Most foods cook well but you do need oil, but eggs aren't something you want to use in this pan. If things do stick, when the pan is cool then put some water in it and let sit for a bit and it cleans up good. The pan is an excellent heat conductor and you don't need use high heat at all. I love the high sides.

It is not a non stick surface. As with all stainless steel cookware, you have to stay close and watch. It is a great heat conductor but can stick if left unattended. I love this cookware.

The removable pot is very sturdy but has a non stick finish. I initially had reservations about that part but have been pleased and not had a problem. I've had almost a year, use about once a week. Food does not stick, it cleans easily and so farther no scratches.

Interior is steel.....it is not Teflon coated and I would say that it is not non-stick, but can easily be wiped out if you care for it after use.

I find the nonstick surface to be truly nonstick, comparable to Stonedine cookware and better than Kitchenaid and Cuisinart. I'm very happy with my wok and use it a lot for stir-frying.

it is not a non-stick surface. You have to make sure you oil, pam, butter the pan well in order for items to not stick. It's a little learning curve if you haven't cooked like this before, but I love my SS skillets way more than the teflon coated skillets I've had in the past.

I don't know if the interior is completely non stick or not, but it is easy to clean. The top and sides just wipe clean easily, the pull out crum tray rinses clean under running water and the glass door is also easy to wipe clean. I have broiled burgers and baked pizza in the oven as well as plenty of toast and have experienced no splatter. I love this oven.

Yes, it is. The directions say to wipe the inside with a little oil before cooking, I forget to do that, but I have not had anything stick.

Yes, the interior is nonstick. Additionally, the base is also nonstick. Along with using the West Bend as a slow cooker, I have used the base as a 'mini-griddle'...making crepes at school for my French students. :)

Yes! It is non stick, i bought it as a gift for my mother. So far this is the best she has ever had. I am buying one for myself too.

No, it is an aluminum type interior but I haven't had any issues with sticking even after I overfilled and burned some of the kernels

The rack is metal, so no nonstick coating to worry about. But I also haven't had an issue with sticking either. As for the inside depth, I got 3.25 inches approx. We have a super small oven and it fits perfectly and still roasts large hams. I'm actually very impressed with the pan!

This is a stainless steel set, no non-stick interiors. However, if pans are properly preheated before adding food, there will be very little sticking.

i use it almost everyday in the past two monthes. Because I like making Chinese food. Frankly speaking there is nothing left on the base. So maybe it is nonstick

It does not really have a non stick surface. It is like an ordinary cookie pan but as long as you take them off right away I have had no problems with sticking. I find if you leave them on while cooling they stick. Hope this helps. It is a nice sturdy pan and big I really like it.

Nope, the interior is not non-stick, and neither is the broiling pan that comes with it. It is, however, a very good toaster oven.

No problems with that for me. Food sticking isn't really a problem. But I have soaked mine a few times and it hasn't rusted.

I haven't had a problem with the nonstick coating coming off. I enjoy my Fondue pot.
