is the non-stick cup safe for cooking? I use only safe non-toxic cooking surfaces.

Usually nonstick surfaces are only a problem when the surface is scratched and enters food you eat.Use rubber or wood to remove eggs, and it should be safe.

It seems to be "safe" in that it is not going to peel off like the old Teflon surfaces did with wear. I love the pan and have given it as a gift to a professional chef who also loved the pan.

Nancy, these cups are teflon coated. I have worked with this material for over 40 years in the lab and commercial areas. Teflon is non-toxic no matter what others may tell you. Having said that you need to judge what you think is best for you. Me, I have no negative feelings what so ever about any non-stick coating. Think about the 100's of millions of pans sold. This answer will show as my wife but the husband bought the pan and answered the question.

Yes, it's safe. I have several, and put them in the dishwasher all the time.

I use mine on a gas stove. I love it. I do hand wash it to protect the non-stick finish. This is my third one on 25 years. The others were damaged by my teenagers using metal spatulas.

The surface is durable, but you could damage it if you use metal utensils. I always use something that is safe for a non stick surface and these last me a very long time.

I've been using this for 6 months on my glass-ceramic top stove and have had no problems. The literature that came with the pan indicates that it is safe for these type of stoves.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

To me cooking spray is definitely taboo, the chemicals can damage non-stick cookware. When I need to oil something I use a soft brush with just one drop of oil or non-pressurized spray bottles. I haven't had anything stick but I haven't tried to make waffles or used any batter yet.

No. You definitely want to only use utensils that are safe for nonstick cookware with this griddle.

Hi Irish Angel, As long as you stir once in a while, it should be alright. It's performance is almost comparable with non-stick cookware. But remember that it is a metallic product, it is not entirely non-stick but there is a huge diff in performance compared to other stainless steel pots & pans I have. Also the satisfaction of cooking in a non-toxic cookware is great! I like it. I wish it came in an extra large size too :-)

It is NOT. On the bottom there are 2 symbols: food safe (thank goodness!) and dishwasher safe.But definitely a great little cup. Worth warming up whatever it is in a different container and transferring.

Shelley is correct. The plates are as non-toxic as any cooking surface can be these days--until perhaps some other health risk is discovered for non-stick cooking surfaces.

Hi, This has a non-stick coating on the outside it is safe for every cooking surface except for induction.

No it is not Non Toxic. Meaning that it is the traditional style of Dupont coating & only the new Ceramic based non-stick coatings are non toxic. Also an indication that a coating is the older style coating is if it limits the oven safe temperatures, and this 1 is only safe up to 400 degrees because of the coating.

I'm very happy with this set, very safe due to the ceramic coating, no scary chemicals. So long as your friend is careful not to use very high heat it will stay non stick and just wipes clean, I don't need to even wash it as stuff just slides off the non stick surface.

I have read that you shouldn't put pans with non-stick surfaces in the oven. On the other hand, considering that I use this on gas fired burners the localized temperatures easily reach oven temperatures. It is made of heavy aluminum. I personally wouldn't have a problem putting mine in the oven to finish something off. However, it does not say "oven safe" on it anywhere.

It does not have a non stick coating. I wouldnt recommend using the jetboil cup for making anything thicker than chicken noodle soup because the heat sink can get brittle. It all depends on what you are trying to cook. I would recommend cooking thicker items in a camping pan or a space saver cup. I use the cup for making coffee and boiling water for freeze dried food in 2 minutes.

No, I consider it much better then non stick. It is heavy enough and polished finish so cleaning is not a problem at all.
