Is this a Teflon non-stick? Is it PFTE and PFOA free? Thank you.

http://www.t-Here is the information that I found... Oddly, it only makes the claim about pans made in France.... Thought you might like to read it for yourself.... They say their committed to being environmentally friendly.... I hope that helps... I LOOOVE THIS COOKWARE!!!falusa.com/Tefal+magazine/Hot+topics/Environmental+Policy/Health+and+the+Environment.htm.

i love these!! nice & heavy, cook evenly on my glass top stove ~ clean up great. wash great in dishwasher. I have no idea whether they are this that and the other "free"....probably you should check with the company on that.

Not sure about the first question. But it is definitely non stick and so far I have had no issues with the non stick peeling or anything.

I am curious about the same thing - this oven looks perfect for my family EXCEPT the non stick interior - PFOA is no joke people. Stay as far away from non stick as you can get. If I end up ordering this oven, it will only be if I find out the non stick does not contain perfluorocarbons. Look them up. They are bad news.

It does have a non stick coating but I'm no. t sure if it is Teflon or some other brand name. I've been using this almost daily for the past 3 months and I've haven't had it flake or crack. As long as you have wash the pot with a soft sponge it'll last a while.

If you read it clearly, in the description it states that it is PFOA/PTFE free. Some are saying otherwise. So is it really PFOA/PTFE free or what?

It is Teflon and it works great. Don't be thrown off by how thin they are. I have both my ovens lined. It only covers the bottom of the oven. Spills wipe or shake right off. Mine have been in since December 20th 2012 and are still in great shape.

The non-stick coating is ceramic based. Hence, there is no PTFE in the product. We now have a total of 4 of the pans, and, they are the best my wife and I have ever used. We are aged late 50's, so, we have used many pots and pans in our lives.

I assume it is Teflon but I do not know for sure. I would not recommend using metal utensils; I use mine frequently. Love it!

I believe it's PFOA free, but does contain PTFE. From the website: Does not contain PFOA or PFOS

The surface is a light weight metal, and is "non-stick", but I can't tell if it is Teflon or not. It doesn't look like it to me, but it is the same color as the teflon pans.

They make a line coated with QuanTanium which is PFOA free. My rule of thumb is if it doesn't say "green"or "Eco non stick coating" I wouldn't. This description mentions neither. Research Green or Eco non stick bakeware and you should see choices more fitting your needs.

No it is not Teflon. They are an excellent set of cookware. I am very happy with them.

I called the distributor: Edgecraft Corp825 Southwood RoadAvondale, PA 19311800-342-3255I asked if the non-stick coating was teflon? They said that the coating was PFOA free. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is presumably the Bad Guy in older non-stick coatings. Google PFOA to read all about it. Teflon seems to be the catch-all term people use for any non-stick coating which appears to be incorrect in this case. There are lots of non-stick coatings out there. The question to ask then is; Is your coating PFOA Free? In this case, it is. The EPA and several major companies have been eliminating PFOA in all their products since 2010.

The Costco literature says that the lining of the pans is "three interlocking layers of Teflon Platinum Pro nonstick coating . . . the coating is PFOA-free." PFOA means "perfluorooctanoic acid . . . [which] was used in the manufacture of nonstick coatings in years past."

I think it is a non stick teflon. It's not a ceramic. It does clean up very easy. I do have to say, I just love this system. I use it more than my regular oven. With winter coming upon us soon, I will be using the crock pot part of it a lot too I am sure!

The bottom of the pan states that it is has "durable nonstick". Even though the pan doesn't state that it has a Teflon, the coating is very similar to it. The pan wipes clean very easy and I have not had any problems with sticking.

I'm not sure if it is "Teflon" but they have an awesome non-stick coating. I brushed them with vegetable oil before we used it the first time and the waffles never stick. This is a great waffle maker. I highly recommend it.

Not Teflon and to be honest I bought this and the power would turn off and the timer would not set, I just stopped using it.
