I understand this is not a coated pan. But can't find info that I am interested in knowing. What is the material of the pan and is it scratch resistan

love it, not scratch proof but definitely resistant, it is not coated with Teflon, pan is through and through and they are lifetime guaranteed

The Scanpan website as well as some other Scanpan sets on here show a short promotional video about their manufacturing, during which they show how the pan is pressure cast from liquid "aluminium" and then has the nonstick coating burned on. So yes, this is a coated pan. If you drill through it, you will notice different layers. However, Scanpan's video claims the coating is several times harder than steel, and many people have attested to the fact that it is difficult to scratch.

We've been using Scanpan for years and they are definitely scratch resistant and non-stick. We have been so pleased that we've added to our Scanpan collection!

I've had mine for about 6 months, actually just bought another one!. I am not particularly careful about what utensils I use, and it cleans beautifully.

i think it's teflon but not sure........what other non-stick coating is there?

It's a non-stick coating of a higher quality than I've had on any other non-stick pan. I'm not sure if it's Teflon®. You could conceivably use metal utensils-a smooth metal spatula probably would not scratch it, for example-but non-metal (silicon, wood) is probably preferred.

My pan has a non-stick coating. I can tell as the interior of the pan is different as compared to the bottom. A mixed blessing, new they are excellent but with time they usually scratch and begin to peel. It is a heavy aluminum pan and an excellent product but I get tired of having to replace pans as the coatings do not last indefinitely

Sorry, I can't tell. It is coated like teflon. This is my second one and i use it everyday.

Don't use metal in the pan at all. That will prevent further scratches. I did the same thing.

I'm not 100% sure, but the plug in the handle is silicone so that should be fine. I'm not sure what the coating is made of. It's just a thin clear coat. The pan in general is an absolute tank so even if the coating was somehow damaged it certainly wouldn't affect the performance.

Greetings, It is not coated with a nonstick surface. It is cast iron. Early eggs stuck but after awhile that no longer happened.Enjoy!

i have used it on my teflon non-stick pans and so far it doesn't seem to have any issues with scratching off the coating.

There is nothing on the product's box or in the instruction book that indicates exactly what the non-stick material is. It only says, "Coated with the world's most advanced non-stick technology." You may be able to find the answer by contacting the manufacturer at www.chefschoice.com. The company is actually Edgecraft Corporation in Avondale, PA, ph. 1-800-342-3255.

No, it's not coated. But I have All-Clad pots and pans and it hasn't scratched any of them. The lid handles fit in the grooves so they don't slide around against each other. I love it.

It definitely has a coating which I assume is Teflon . I use this pan. 3X a week. Cleaning this pan is so easy!

Okay I was wondering the same so I called. The pan is made from heavy gauge steel. There is a non-stick coating on the pan that is not teflon and is a food-based, FDA approved (not that that's any reassurance) non-stick material that is found to be safe up to 500 degrees. The rep. also told me that it says it does not contain a certain type of acid or something that sounded like"BP." I was not sure what she was referring to but I plan to do research. Hope this helps others with the same question!

I love this pan! I use it often. I am very careful to only use plastic utensils and a plastic spatula on it though so it won't scratch it. I do wash it it my dishwasher as well and I have not had any problems. I have had it for close to a year and a half. I hope this helps. Again, I love mine.

I haven't had the pan for over a year yet so unfortunately I can't answer you on that. I have had it for 2 months and so far it has been extremely durable. I use the Ozeri pan cover that came with it anytime I store the pan away so it won't get scratched easily.

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.

It is coated with a product called Thermalon, which works very well, but the main selling point is that it contains no PTFE or PFOA materials. It feels very much like a ceramic coated pan we had, but it is not ceramic per-se.
