Is the Green Earth pan MORE non-stick than the teflon coated pans ?

I think they're similar in the ability to remain non-stick. The Green Earth pan uses a ceramic for non-stick coating. It does not contain PFOAs, which the EPA is investigating for toxicity.

I don't know if I would say it is more non-stick, but it's definitely AS non-stick as teflon. The benefit is you don't get all the chemicals that are in teflon with the green earth pan.

Well, I have a teflon coated pan and I have to use oil or butter but with the Green Earth pan I don't have to. I feel It's better. But I'm going to keep an eye on it and report after like 6 months of use.

Yes, I do think it is more non-stick than your average non-stick pan. Food slides right out and you do not even need to spray or use oil.

Yes Definitely & You Don't Have To Put Spray, Oil Or Butter It Just Slides Off!!! :)

I would say it is. When cooking eggs just this morning it slid right around when I picked it up. Didn't even need a spatula to flip it. And when I was done you couldn't even tell I had used the pan was so clean.

I agree with the others that the non-stick surface seems to be sturdier than the old Teflon coating. I use a wooden spoon with my pan and it doesn't even show any scratching on the surface. I would say that with a little consideration for the surface that you should not have any flaking or other issues associated with Teflon.

Most probably it is Teflon-the same stuff they use for any non-stick pans. If you don't like coating, you might like to look for carbon steel pans by De Buyer on Amazon..

I contacted the manufacturer and they said: The non-stick surface is not Teflon. After the Hard Anodizing process of the pan(s) is complete and non-stick surface is added.

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for your inquiry. This item is PFOA free as for the PTFE is the non stick coating that is on our non stick 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 D.

I have not seen the expression "Green Tek" with respect to the Scanpan but their non-stick surface is labeled Ti-ceramic.

This coating is far better than teflon. I have used this cookware for over 5 years now and it is still in excellent condition as the day I bought it and nothing sticks to it. It's fabulous. As far as the health risks, I wouldn't worry. Rachel puts quality into everything she makes. I love this set so much that I bought another 5 years later and I still haven't opened the box. When this set does wear out, I have a backup. Hope this answers your question.

It's definitely not Teflon. According to the description it's nano ceramic coating. I'm not actually certain that the outside is ceramic though. One spot on the outside of the pan had a spatula melt onto it and when I removed the melted spatula it pulled off the green coating, It doesn't affect the pan though. These pans work great and are really durable, they are worth every penny.

Not so much a coating, but a non stick surface... not like teflon junk. I have had mine almost a year, only have to lightly oil the pan before first crepe and they never stick! I cook a lot and I love this pan!

I didn't care for it and returned it. The pan is plastic and concave. Not sure about non stick coating.

Yes, this West Bend #84866 is lined with a non-stick coating. According to the instruction manual, it is simply referred to as "non-stick finish."I also have a Rival Crockpot, which I use a lot, that is NOT coated with Teflon or Teflon-like coating.

Hello. None of our items are coated in teflon. The inside are coated in stone, creating the unique non stick.

Fry pan is not non stick coated. I was disappointed in that part of it because I have an induction stove and have had many dishes stick to the pan, i.e. fried eggs

Well, they are still non stick, just not Teflon but anodized. The surface does not scratch-even though they say you can use metal utensils, I do not and never put them in a dishwasher either. I have 2 older skillets that are Analon and their surfaces are still perfect and fabulous. I have an electric cooktop, so I mostly start on med-high to medium and adjust from there. They are the most fantastic set of pans I have ever owned, and I've owned bunches! If they are good enough for Top Chef, they are good enough for me! You will not be disappointed.

No it's the non stick Teflon(?sp).. it cleans up very well & very light weight. I have used it so much. I am very pleased with this purchase.

No - It is MUCH different. Cirrculon is AMAZING and AWESOME! You will never have food stick to the pan. I highly recommend the cookware. I have had mine for about 20 years - and it looks brand new! BUY it! for sure! Teflon is old and outdated and has chemicals!

The bottom of the pan states that it is has "durable nonstick". Even though the pan doesn't state that it has a Teflon, the coating is very similar to it.The pan wipes clean very easy and I have not had any problems with sticking.
