is non-stick better than the polished grids?

I have not used a polished grid one before so I can't say from experience. However this particular model I have had no issues and no sticking when following the instructions included in the packaging. I think you'll be pleased :-)

I have a polished grid iron. There is usually no problem because of the amount of shortening in the dough.

I personally like this non-stick grid - I've been making pizzelles for 30 years - This Cucina Pro is easy to use and the pizzelles come right off without sticking

My wife and I had the polished grids prior to this one. The problems with sticking, that is why we bought the CucinaPro 220-05NS. There was a difference like night and day.

Used my non stick twice and have had no problems with sticking. You do have to spray cooking oil

Also recipe for cookies makes a difference. I use butter in my batter - cookies are amazing

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.

Non-stick - yes. Don't know any other name but "Grundig Electric Countertop..." PS. I like it better than G Forman. Better price and when it goes bad just buy another. It has lots of nice features like when cooking a steak you can cook both sides at the same time!!

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.

Have not as yet used the griddle so don't know. It is coated but don't know if it is non stick but a little butter makes everything better!!

I find the nonstick surface to be truly nonstick, comparable to Stonedine cookware and better than Kitchenaid and Cuisinart. I'm very happy with my wok and use it a lot for stir-frying.

I hear cast iron is good but I am not a fan of them. I love the Calphalon non stick anodized. Cooks evenly and is a great product!

I have had the 7 pc set for almost 3 years. They are still non stick. I use them constantly. They wash up easily (by hand) so I can turn around and use them right away for the next dish.

The non stick coating is very adequate. You will not be sorry if you buy thes, they are awesome.

I would bot reccomend it it is made with very low grade metals and the coating on the non-stick part will probably get damaged.

Neither, but closer to seasoned cast iron than non-stick. It's an enamel inside, which gets progressively more non-stick the more you cook on it. However, its more delicate than a seasoned cast iron, so you want to use silicon implements on it whenever possible.

Yes, I have used it on non-stick surfaces, but don't scrub with anything that will scratch the surface.

The nonstick surface appears to be much more durable than the earlier Teflon, but I wouldn't recommend using metal. Use wood or plastic.

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.

I have received 3 sets and none of them were non stick. I love mine and recommend them highly to you.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

it is as non stick as ceramic can be - dont use metal utensils that may chip the finish, tho
