Is the cooking surface nonstick or plain carbon steel?

It is plain carbon steel. It needs to be seasoned (rub with oil and heat) before use. I am sure it works well over a gas flame.

thit comes with a layer over it which needs to be scrub off before use. and yes it is carbon steel

It is steel, and the bottom is flat, so it can be used on a regular/western-style cook top.

stainless steel and I prefer it over the non-stick skillet surfaces. of course it will scatch with use.

Exterior surface is stainless steel finish, but the interior is a non-stick, Teflon-like coating.

The non stick coating is very adequate. You will not be sorry if you buy thes, they are awesome.

It appears to be (may not be) stainless. As for "non-stick", not sure. Never had any prooblems with sticking, though.

It's nonstick, not ceramic. We use it a couple of times a week and still love it!

No, it is a stainless steel pot that cleans up easily if one soaks it in hot, soapy water for a bit. No need to worry about nonstick coating becoming part of your dish! :)

Carbon steel pan is lighter and does not hold it's heat as long. But using it in the oven works great.

According to the Calphalon statement about its non-stick surface, as contained within the Amazon info, the cooking surface is bronze. I'm guessing that Calphalon deposits bronze onto the base metal plates. According to Wikipedia, bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive.

It is nonestick. So far it is easy to clean, and cooks great. I am not sure what material is made of. U have to contact the seller for correct information.

Stainless on the exterior and nonstick on the cooking pot. No problems with either so far.

It's coated, but doesn't look like a nonstick coating. It feels more like an enameled (albeit very thin) coating, not the usual teflon. It doesn't really have any taste...strangely enough.

It is stainless steel with copper coils/core on the bottom. No non-stick or anodized surfaces.

Yes it is nonstick, but I love the grill and have used it for several years.

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.

This pan is heavy and a gray ceramic like non stick surface.It is called aluminized carbon steel. I have used it for everything and it works great. No sticking whatsoever.

I'm assuming you mean the cook pot. NO, it is not stainless it is a non-stick surface.
