Do these contain Teflon? I am trying to find new non stick pans with no Teflon as its bad for pet birds.

I have a pet bird as well, and have been searching for a "safe" set of cookware. From the research I've done these do not have Teflon. The main hazardous off-gassing components are PTFE, PFOA, and cadmium, of which this set is free of. From what I can tell they are the safest pots & pans set at this price point.

It is white and smoothe inside. It does not have the dark teflon that we are use to. It says Nonstick Ceramic coating is PTFE-Free, PFOA-Free, cadmium and lead free, compare to traditional nonstick coating system. Not sure what that all means but hopefully that will help you determine if it is. But is is not your normal teflon looking pan.

They are not nonstick. Air bakes are great cookie pan. Really hard to burn. Brown so evenly. Had my last par for 20 yrs

Well the pans are not Teflon coated so if you add meat without oil and don't pay attention it will stick. On the other hand I don't use them for meat si I had no problems yet. Cheers, Mike

I have two parrots and any responsible parrot owner knows that fumes from pans with nonstick coating can kill them--QUICKLY. I'm sure the zojirushi is perfectly safe for them because the nonstick surface is enclosed but honestly, if the fumes alone are harmful to my birds, I don't even want to entertain what cooked food on it would do to me. I changed all of my cookware over to heavy gauge stainless steel. My new rice cooker will not be an exception. Sorry zojirushi...but I have to agree with "stuff2read"'s posting.

They do not have a non stick coating, but very easy to prep. Cook evenly ...almost perfectly every time with an added benefit of a healthier option compared to a non stick product.

These are made of plastic, much like a spatula you would use on Teflon pans. I think they would be fine to use on your nonstick pans.

I don't know or care what it is made of, it is the worth the money. I don't believe it has teflon in it. I use a little non-stick spray and works great.

This does have a nonstick but I don't believe it's Teflon, and I love it. Good weight and so easy to clean.

I don't think they are. I had wash mine. Also, if you use any kind of pam or cooking spray in them, even once, the non-sick goes away and they become difficult to wash with out scratching. They are okay pans. If you have time to take care of them right they will work fine.

No it does not contain "Teflon", but it does contain a PTFE coating which is what Teflon is made out of.

I would say they are 90% nonstick. When you're cooking always remember to not use high heat. The pans do much better.

No teflon! I think this is the reason for the interest in going back to cast iron for so many cooks. Not only do they provide wonderful even heating, iron traces are not harmeful, so there is no "bad stuff" to peel off and be ingested with the food. I'm impressed with my Lodge cast iron products. When cared for as directed for seasoning and cleaning, they work almost as well as teflon for releasing food. And the pans get better with use and consistent seasoning. I do suggest that you do research the care and follow that protocol for best results.

No, they aren't non stick, but they are great quality pans. I love that they take up so little storage space in our motor home.

It is NOT teflon, it is a PTFE and PFOA free non-stick material - I called support to find out.

I have to assume, since it really does not say "Teflon", that it is another type. I am thinking that it it truly was "Teflon", that it would say so. I am using my pan at our vacation home, so it hasn't had very much use yet. I will only use plastic or wood tools in it though to preserve the non stick coating.

Hello. None of our items are coated in teflon. The inside are coated in stone, creating the unique non stick.
