No it does not contain "Teflon", but it does contain a PTFE coating which is what Teflon is made out of.

NO, Calphalon uses PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) on the Unison pans. PTFE is the generic word for Teflon. Calphalon's website states that both the EPA and FDA has stated that this is a safe compound, explaining: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a resin used in a large number of consumer applications, including nonstick coating for cookware. Because PTFE is durable and long lasting, it is used in a wide range of consumer products, including stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, medical devices, electronics and fireproof coatings. PTFE is well suited for cookware use and is the nonstick coating of choice for high-performance results. PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is used as a processing aid during manufacturing to help nonstick coatings adhere to pan interiors. On warranty returns, Calaphon has given me the option to choose a stainless steel pan instead of another PTFE. I maintain that Calaphon's warranty is the best around.

I don't know. I wouldn't think so. It is your typical enameled cookware. Like you would find in your grandmothers kitchen. No antibacterial additives then.

That's weird that the instructions say that. At the Rachael Ray store at Cooking.com, it says that this set (the hard anodized set) is safe for use on ceramic and glass cooktops.

don't have the non-stick aluminum cookware but would not use on teflon coated products because the cleaner is somewhat abrasive.

It is hard anodized just like calphalon. It is wonderful to use and easy to clean

No, but you don't want one. Auto-clean in the oven happens at very high temperatures--high enough to ruin the teflon coating.The teflon is so good on this unit it takes like, 10 seconds with a soft sponge-scrubber to clean the pot. The inside of the lid detaches easily. Another 10 seconds, and off you go.set them on a rack to go, and you

According to the Circulon website, the cookware is made of hard anodized aluminum (Aluminum treated with an electro-chemical process that transforms regular aluminum into a superior cookware material - again, according to Circulon), lids are tempered glass, and coated with DuPont Autograph advanced 3-layer nonstick. You can always try cast iron, though you give up the non-stick. Good luck in your search!

I just received the WRONG item from this listing. Its supposed to be hard anodized commercial withOUT nonstick, but Ireceived the Nonstick vsn. I just spoke with Calphalon to ensure, they do not sell the commercial hard anodized nonstick set any longer. COSTCO has exclusive rights to the nonstick version of the hard anodized commercial nonstick pots and pans. The MODEL # on this listing is for the Commerical Hard anodized pot and pans that do NOT have nostick on them. I just received my order and got the WRONG product. I received what Costco is selling. I have contacted the seller for a switch of product. This is FALSE advertising going on here! Not cool! I just received the WRONG item from this listing.

Dear Blythe, Thank you for your inquiry. This product does not contain PFOA; PTFE is the nonstick coating that is on our nonstick cookware, without the PTFE the pan would not be considered non stick. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia

I'm sorry but I don't know. The packaging didn't have as much information as I would have liked, and I ordered it some time ago. I'm very happy with the cookware though. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you. Best of luck.

I don't know. I would suppose the website for the cookware should be able to tell you. All I can tell you is this cookware is probably the best I have ever used!

that's hard to say, i called the manufacturer and they claim the cookware version is "specially formulated" for cookware and has extra stuff in it. i've read a few comparison reviews and most said they were unable to tell the difference.

No. It has no Teflon but cleans easily with a plastic scraper similar to what I use on pampered chef bakeware.

I'm not sure. It says it's hard anodize which I think is another compound. I would check with All- Clad for the answer
