Hi, is the interior coating enamel? If not, is it PFOA free? Thanks.

The interior coating is enamel which, I believe, means it is PFOA free. It is not non-stick.

Cast iron interior and what the heck is PFOA? Major cooking done in Le Creuset and has been for years and I ain't dead yet!!

Greetings, The interior is cast iron. I do not know what PFOA is. We are happy with the various sizes and use them regularly with no bad effects. Enjoy!

Yes Le Creuset prides itself on making cookware minus the toxins. I believe that only certain lines of Le Creuset do this though. Please do a search on Le Creuset to see their policy. I would have provided a link to search but Amazon blocked me from doing that. Nice play, Amazon. You want me to help customers but you block any searching that a client provides. :-/ Also, cast iron is a great way to cook anyway. Pans are heavy, but my health is more important!

I only wish I could say the interior of this pan is enamel. Its a newer finish which is not as easy to care for as enamel. It do not believe the finish contains PFOA's. Hope this helps!

Teflon or not, it has a non stick coating, which to me indicates that it does release PFOA. Wilton doesn't provide any specifics on the coating that I could find, but unless it's bare metal, the coating is there. I'm still blissfully using mine though.

It looks and feels like teflon. The literature with the product does not appear to say specifically what it is. We have had ours for a couple of years. Although it is not used heavily, we have not seen any breakdown of the interior finish.

It's an enamel, non-stick coating. Haven't had any problems with it-used it for about 2 months.

Yes it is enameled on the inside. Love, love, love this pot. Use on stovetop or oven. Clean up is so easy. Linda

A little research turned up that it is PFOA free. But as with most stick free cookware it does not handle high temperatures well and the surface tends to deteriorate over time. For a fry pan I would suggest you look elsewhere but for bake ware this brand is fully serviceable. Hope this helps.

Interesting to see so many mention black enamel. I have always thought it was black teflon (non-stick coating). Since I don't like teflon, I would be happier if it were enamel or something inert. I guess the only way to know for sure is to call the company, since I don't want to scratch mine to find out for sure.

I love this pot, but I don't believe there is any pfoa. I don't believe much of what the manufacturer say. It's all a sales pitch,

Yes there is enamel on the interior and it works perfectly. Best wok we have owned for ceramic or induction cook top (hobs).

According to the answer given here http://www.everythingkitchens.com/cuisinart-frittata-skillets-fp2-24bk.html to a similar question, it appears that it does contain PFOA.

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.

I don't know, but when checking the Internet if there is PFOA it is a trace. I'm sorry, but still do not know. Will have to check the store and read the label on the cookware.

It has an enameled interior which is somewhat resistant to food sticking, but I would not call it "non-stick".

This is summer # 2 using mine. They clean up nicely and I cook a lot of salmon, burgers, steaks, and oiled veggies on them. They certainly are enamel coated but I'm not metallurgist so I have no idea if it's porcelain. I use a wire brush to clean them and sometimes put them in the dishwasher. I've used the scrapper tool on the wire brush to remove dripping gunk but not every cook event is this necessary.

Actually, because I am shopping for a new toaster oven and this one looks perfect for my family other than the non stick issue, I just contacted Kitchen Aid through their live chat. The non stick is Teflon, and it does contain PFOA, but according to the service agent helping me AND the scienctific community (I did a little research) the PFOA does not break down unless it is heated above 550-650 degrees F. Hope this helps.

Yes, the interior is Porcelain Enamel, rust proof. The pot works very well but is smaller than pictured although it WILL hold 40 oz barely.

The Costco literature says that the lining of the pans is "three interlocking layers of Teflon Platinum Pro nonstick coating . . . the coating is PFOA-free." PFOA means "perfluorooctanoic acid . . . [which] was used in the manufacture of nonstick coatings in years past."
