is cirrculon the same as teflon?

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 Teflon is old and outdated and has chemicals!

No. The circulon pans use a combination of anodized aluminum and a raised groove pattern. To the best of my knowledge, there is no coating like Teflon applied. And certainly none that has scraped off in the decade plus that we have owned ours.

Cirrculon is the brand name of the cookware. Teflon is a nonstick coating used on many cookware manufactures to reduce sticking.

I don't think this is teflon it is calphalon or analon finish very nice nothing like any teflon I have ever cooked with or seen and yes I beleive teflon is now gone from all finishes on pans, calphalon pans are always good pans cook very nicely and evenly they are a bit pricey but I feel worth it especially if you do any amount of cooking or sauteing which I do as it is pretty healthy, I think you will be pleased with these pans.

I believe they are the same-- This is one of the best kitchen tools I have. You won't be disappointed!

It is PTFE without the use of PFOA's. PFOA's are normally associated with the process of making Teflon, however Volrath advertises the CeramiGuard II coating was created without PFOA:http://vollrathuniversity.com/vollrathUniversity/Product-Training/Professional-Cookware/PFOA-Free-Fry-Pan-Coatings.htm

Not teflon. Hard anodized cookware is the best nonstick I have used. Rachael Ray cookware is very comparable to heavier, much more expensive cookware.

I believe they're the same product. I have both and they both do the same job for me. Get the discoloration off the bottom of my new pots and pans.

Yes I believe so these one I had bought for some friends for Christmas last year and that was one of the selling points. The ones that I own myself are the stainless steel set with out any tefflon coating and those ones you can put in the oven also. I really love the set I have and my friends seem to love these ones also. No problems with them as far as I can tell you.

It's teflon, and ours has shown significant peeling in only a couple years. That surprised us (and is hopefully not rypical), as did the cost of a replacement pot!

Hello Steffany, I cant honestly tell you. These products are poorly designed - the "nonstick" coating does not work very well. It deteriorated within 8 month of normal use (not at all heavy). When I approached customer service and attempted to use warranty I received an answer that the cookware is not supposed to be exposed to high heat. Claim was denied and threw them away. I will never purchase any of Circulon products and will not recommend doing this to anybody. There are plenty of products of better quality for the same price that will stand behind their warranty. Anolon comes to mind... Sorry if I could not be a better help. Hello Steffany, I cant honestly tell you. These products are poorly designed - the "nonstick" coating does not work very well.

Of course! they are all high-temp resistant plastic and do not scratch teflon either.

Teflon coated. I have been highly disappointed in this product. Coating flaked off first 'pot' but it was replaced under warranty. Now lid doesn't fir well. I have used West Bend for decades. Have 2 others still in use - but things change.

I cannot tell you definitively - one would have to look on the packaging which in my case is long gone. I do not recall any specific mention of teflon in the product description, however.

Hi George,The lids for the Symmetry set are glass with rubber (?) handles. The Circulon Infinite has the metal lids. Glass lids let you see your food but will reduce the temperature that you can use in the oven. The Metal lids let you use 500 degree oven temp, but you cannot see your food.

The old model was Teflon. This one has a ceramic lining instead, which is much nicer.

Not Teflon and to be honest I bought this and the power would turn off and the timer would not set, I just stopped using it.

Just says non stick but looks like teflon to me. But teflon is a trademark name sooo. Generic teflon I'd assume
