Is the non-stick surface made with healthy materials?

I can't answer the question as to specifics, but I've always found All Clad to be a quality brand and a conscientious manufacturer.

Probably not. I am sure if you eat it or chew on it, it wouldn't be healthy. As with EVERYTHING, if it wasn't grown or alive at some point it could be unhealthy if you digested it. I have used mine a dozen times or more and nothing has flaked off or "pitted" on it. I am not worried about this being "unsafe" to use. It is a high quality item.

If you are asking if it is ceramic, no. It is not cast iron either. Best to direct your question to the manufacturer.

It does not have a non stick surface. It is however stainless steel and is easy to clean.

I've had mine for over one year now. Used it hundreds of times. The nonstick surface has not scratched and nothing sticks. It's far better than Teflon coated pans. A durable and completely nonstick surface.

I've had it for 3 years and use it about once a week. No problems with the non stick coating.

Short answer: it's safe. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/nervous-about-nonstick

Yes it is. It hasn't scratched any of mine. The only thing you can't use in non-stick pans is any sort of metal. I did find that a couple of the pieces upon arrival were splintering. Especially the slotted spoon. Managed to cut the splinter off and sand it down, but all the same. But yes, it is safe for non-stick.

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.

It does not have a non-stick coating. It's pure anodized aluminum and cleans up easily.

It's been such along time since I bought this I do not remember. But I found a non-stick pan at Walmart. It is called Green + Life. It is a Healthy ceramic non-stick pan. It is free of PFOA, Lead, Cadmium and life time warranty. I was pleased with this pan and the way my food cooked up. I like this pan better than the green earth

All pieces have non-stick. Its a great product but I use so much I need to replace about once a year. Feel better about not exposing kids and pets to all those nasty petro-chemicals.

yes it most certainly does, this is NOT a non-stick surface. but that's the point. non-stick cooking surfaces are actually toxic, and folks who want to eat healthy, organic, holistically, etc avoid those surfaces. After cooking with this stainless cooker, just soak the SS pot in the sink for a while, and the left over rice wipes right off with a soft sponge.

No part of it is nonstick. If it were, I would not be using it daily--or at all!

It is nonstick and looks durable to me. I only use either a paper towel or a brush to gently clean it. I hand wash mine and never put it in the dishwasher. Still doing well after a month.

As far as I know it is not non stick. It will need periodic cleaning much like a oven.
