another reviewer mentioned this item arrived with a notice that it should not be used for chickens due to teflon so i remain sooooo confused.

according to one of the reviewers: 3.0 out of 5 stars Not for poultry or birds February 15, 2012 By A. Tang Amazon Verified Purchase I initially purchased this to raise chicks. But after it arrives there is a warning on the box that said, "Warning: Teflon coated products should not be used as heat or brooder lamps for poultry or birds." Wish the warning was posted before I purchased this. With the $3.99 shipping, returning it would not be economic.

Yes, it does have Teflon coating inside. It has worked well for a year being used at least 4 days a week. A very reliable and easy to use unit.

The sticky coating is silicon rubber. If the bulb glass shatters it will be held together safely by the coating instead of spreading glass everywhere. The coating feels creepy but it is a good thing.

Yes, it is Teflon coated but I have had mine for 2 years and it is holding up fine.

It is not ceramic but the housing the lightbulb is entirely exposed so there should be no issue with wattage other than the capacity of your line/circuit.

Not that I've noticed. I've never touched the bulb while it's on, and don't feel any heat while it's in use.

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.

No, it does not. It takes two 40 or 60 watt bulbs. I'm not able to check it at the moment.

Not so much a coating, but a non stick surface... not like teflon junk. I have had mine almost a year, only have to lightly oil the pan before first crepe and they never stick! I cook a lot and I love this pan!

Yes,it's a solid material throughout and there is no Teflon or coating on the roaster.It holds the heat really well so be careful not to burn.

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

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.

It is not a Teflon coating if that's what you're worried about. It is the old fashioned enamel on steel coating found on most roasting pans. I suggest that you go to the Oster web site for exact specifications.

No but I do have it in a fixture that has a reflector shield around it to concentrate the light. It is as hot as a regular light bulb.

Sorry, I cannot tell if it is coated with Teflon. However, the surface is more porous than a regular pan and any coating seems to last longer than Teflon coated pans.

1) no, it's a special heat resistant plastic but you can still feel the heat when you touch it....but it's not overly warm to the touch. 2) I have only used the Zilla Night Black 50 watt bulbs in them myself.
