Is this set considered non-stick? If this set is NOT non-stick does it need to be seasononed?

It doesn't have a non-stick coating which is why I bought this set. I wanted to avoid a non stick coating that would eventually flake into food. I did not season it. I haven't had a problem with sticking. You must cook no higher than medium heat. Clean up easy with one of those scrubbies.

When I bought it I would have thought it was non-stick due to the high quality look and price. Unfortunately it really isn't. I use a trick by not cooking at to high of a temp and it seems to help. They are really high quality pots and pans, just the downfall food seems to burn into the bottom of them. Ive bought non stick pans from Walmart that I would prefer over these honestly.

No, It's all stainless steel, seasoning helps during cooking, but you still have to clean em, these are not like cast iron pans

I have had the 7 pc set for almost 3 years. They are still non stick. I use them constantly. They wash up easily (by hand) so I can turn around and use them right away for the next dish.

The stainless cookware is NOT nonstick. If you want nonstick, look for the Hard Anodized version.

You don't need to season a stainless pan though some do. I don't. But I mostly pan fries stuff and the preheating process with oil is similar to the seasoning process anyway. For things stuck, if not burnt, it is easily soaked and cleaned. For burnt on, I use the barkeepers friend to clean it up. Not really difficult.I am not a chef, so my opinions worth 2 cents.

It is non-stick. I still use a bit of oil, though, because the directions that came with my pan stated to do so.

you need to grease the bottom. don't think its non stick, even they say it is. like the frying pan and the egg. it will stick if not coated.

You are correct. It is not "non stick" surface. If you preheat the cookware, and use proper cooking technique nothing will stick!

I have received 3 sets and none of them were non stick. I love mine and recommend them highly to you.

I put them in the dishwasher and have not noticed anything wrong with them . I have had my set for 27 years, each of my daughters received a set for their wedding gifts. The only negative is: they are not non stick but they are EXTREMELY durable!

The pan is non-stick only because of the cooked on oil that forms a film over the steel. If you wash it in the dishwasher it will remove the non-stick coating, and you will need to re-season the pan by heating it up on the stove and wiping more oil on the pan. You could wash it in the dishwasher... but I do not.

It is not non-stick in the same way Teflon and similar pans are. However, once properly seasoned it performs as well the classic Teflon style coatings do. In a brand new pan, I would cook fatty meats or heat it up real hot and oil it a time or two. After the seasoning, it will be as non-stick as most "non-stick" pans.

Season them? I've only seasoned cast iron cookware. I washed them before using them but other than that I didn't do anything to them. I've used them now for two years with zero problems. I love this set

Yes, although this pan does not need to be "seasoned." The oil is part of the cooking process.

Ours is definitely NOT "non stick". And I should know, my wife insists that I wash it after we use it. That's not fair. help me!

Herman, Kindly refer to the manufacturer's details at http://www.t-falusa.com/. My caution is that the set is NOT all 'non-stick'. The description says "*Stainless steel cookware with nonstick interior". However, of the six pieces of cook wear, only two are non-stick the others require something abrasive, and elbow grease, to clean.

Does not have to be seasoned - wash with soap and water. Just remember that this is in no waya non stick pan - you need use oil or butter or whatever - otherwise you will have a lot of scrubbing to do!

I don't season it every time. At first you may need to, but the seasoned surface becomes quite resilient over time (from cooking as mush as repeated seasoning), and usually I just wipe out the pan, leaving a little oil in it, and then "scrub" it with kosher salt and a wadded up paper towel. A well seasoned pan has the best non-stick surface there is, and it really doesn't take that much maintenance once you've established a good surface through use.
