Doesn't it seem to be a teflon coated pan? Manufacturer: "Platinum in the vessel's fluorine coating ..." Teflon is made using fluorine.

I believe it is a teflon-like coating on the pan. As you correctly note, Teflon is fluorine. The manual and the advertising highlight that the coating contains some platinum. Anyway, whatever it is, it works pretty well. I have never had any food residue fail to come loose from the pan with just a light wipe from a wet paper towel.

I don't know. But when I read platinum, I expected something a little nicer than the pan it comes with.

Hard to explain, but there is no teflon coating on it but I have used the pan extensively so it is a well used pan. I like to call it seasoned and it works just as good today as when I first started to use it.

I believe that the "non-stick" material is some other kind of non-stick coating Cuisinart does not specify. However, Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and the original patents expired a long time ago. So the coating could very well be "Teflon." It does seem to scratch easily, but the device does do an excellent job. We're happy with it.

I called Caphalon today to inquire, because I was interested in this based on the rave reviews - but I refuse to buy toxic cookware. They told me that the bronze is just for the color. I asked what the non-stick coating was, if it wasn't actually some kind of bronze coating. They stated it was their standard non-stick coating. After asking a third time, I was told it was "PTFE". In other words, Teflon. Heavily disguised with marketing of a "bronze non-stick" coating. Can't get away from this stuff!

I do not know what it is made of, but I can tell you after a couple years of use, the surface hasn't chipped or flaked at all. I don't think they really use Teflon anymore. The newer non-stick surfaces are tougher.

It is a non-stick coating, though it doesn't specifically say "Teflon". You'd have to check with the the manufacturer to find actual name of coating. LS

It's coated, but doesn't look like a nonstick coating. It feels more like an enameled (albeit very thin) coating, not the usual teflon. It doesn't really have any taste...strangely enough.

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for your inquiry. This item is PFOA free as for the PTFE is the non stick coating that is on our non stick cookware, without the PTFE the pan would not be considered non stick. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia D.

The plates are made of aluminum for conductivity with a non-stick coating. There is no specific indicator for the type of coating used on the machine or in its manual. About 90% of all non-stick cookware is coated with Dupont Teflon of some kind. Hope this helps.

Don't think it is Teflon. I don't use it, wife does, and she likes it. Works well.

No Teflon coating. I use it in a restaurant and scrub it with steel wool every night and it's as good as new.

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.

The Breadman BK2000B had a non-stick pan. Not sure if it was teflon or some other type of coating. I have returned mine, it was not working properly.

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

Teflon coated, and a very thin coating I might add. But for the price and TLC when using it, this set is a great bargain for the price. We used ours many times and still holding up.

I own one just like this model and I'm not sure if it's Teflon...but it is a coated pan. I have had mine for around 3 months and use it 3to 4 times a week. The interior is also coated where the pot sits to heat and I can see no sign of use on either the pan or interior cooking surface area. Very well made.

No. The circulon pans use a combination of anodized aluminum and a raised groove pattern. To the best of my knowledge, there is no coating like Teflon applied. And certainly none that has scraped off in the decade plus that we have owned ours.
