and yes, it does flake after a few years, like any other teflon pan, and what's more, you can't buy a replacement for it.

I bought this rice cooker - and I loved it, but I finally heard back from Sanyo after contacting them back when I posted this discussion:They told me that the inside is a compound similar to teflon - it is PTFE based. (the titanium is on the outside surface)Essentially, it is no different from any other non-stick surface.

to our knowledge, the titanium is the non-stick substance in the bowl. The inner lid, however, is aluminum.

It can be nonstick and not be Teflon. I own this and am now concerned that it's Teflon. (Or at least contains PFOA.) If it does, I'm going to stop using it. Researching now.

It is not non-stick which is why I ordered this pan. I like to pan-fry and fry shrimp et al and this pan is perfect! It really cleans up nicely ~ I hand wash the pan even though I think it said dishwasher safe. My pan has never scratched and I use it often.

Oddly, yes this set has teflon. Yes it's hard anodized, but in store it displays that as an outer layer. The inside non-stick layer is still Teflon. I don't understand this either, I thought hard anodized was superior to teflon pans, but this does contain teflon. I can't verify online, but there's another reviewer who can confirm. It's "long lasting teflon": http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11485000/kirkland-signature-kirkland-signature-15-piece-hard-anodized-aluminum-cookware-set-reviews/reviews.htm#BVRRDisplayContentReviewID_20710751

it's a non-stick metal... it's coated, which is helpful when you leave the rice cooking too long and it gets sticky... it doesn't stick to the pan and even if it dries up, it still doesn't stick.

All I can get from the description is 'durable hard-anodized aluminum'. And the back of my pan says 'hard anodized nonstick'. I've had it a couple years and its still good as new.

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.

The frying pan I received with the set does not have a non-stick coating. Separately I purchased a Vollrath Z4010 frying pan which does and is excellent.

This is the ti. Which is short for titanium. I understand your concern with the title, however it is easier to distinguish the differences by using the word titanium in the title.

I'm inclined to think this is not a "non-stick" pie shield. It is aluminum and does not appear to be Teflon coated or to have a similar finish. Nothing in the wrapping/packaging indicated that it's non-stick. I have used it twice since I purchased it and neither time did the crust or anything else stick to it.

It doesn't have a Teflon coating. It is like a lot of the Nordic Ware baking sets, it is BPA-free and melamine-free. Nordic Ware uses nonstick coatings that are water-based rather than solvent-based. Like many Nordic Ware pans, if you wash them by hand, rather than put them in the dishwasher, they stay light and are known to have even heating distribution. They clean really easily and nothing sticks to them. You might want to go the Nordic Ware site and read about how it is made. These are a champagne color so, you don't need to reduce the temperature when baking. This probably doesn't answer your question. If not, you may want to email Nordic Ware.

I just got this today 6/10/14 and it is NOT non-stick. The description says stainless interior - and that is correct. Unfortunately I bought one of these a couple of years ago that WAS non-stick and I clicked on the past order to get another one of the same thing and this is the item that came up. I didn't even look at the description because it was supposed to be the same. Anyway, it's a great pan for the price and I haven't decided yet whether I'm returning this one or not.

It is a non-stick coating, though it doesn't specifically say "Teflon". You'd have to check with the the manufacturer to find actual name of coating. LS

We bought the aluminum one. We really like the way it cooks the food evenly. I don't have any experience with the non-stick one, but the aluminum one does stick and is harder to clean. This is not an issue for us, as we were expecting that.

This is what their website says:pan bottom made of stress-relieved chill-cast aluminium and the long-lasting and tough cut-proof non-stick coating in high-tech titanium.Hope that helped :)

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

Thanks for posting this question. It's annoying that the product description doesn't mention that the lining is non-stick. I had decided against buying it, anyway, because it didn't say whether it did or not, so they may lose both customers who want non-stick and those who don't. I hate product descriptions that so prominently proclaim "stainless steel," when it usually just refers to the outside and not inside where it really matters, without enough consideration for their customers to list the internal components. In this case, I think they just describe something like "heavy black." I didn't know "black" was a material. Thanks for posting this question.
