Does anyone know what this grill is seasoned with and if it is coated with teflon or any other non-stick chemicals?

Yes it is pre-seasoned, looks to be a VERY good seasoning too. Teflon is flammable, so obviously it is NOT covered with teflon.

Appears to be standard seasoning technique for "preseasoned" cast iron cookware. I washed mine with soap and water before installing it on my grill. I have used it several times now and after each use cleaned it with a wire brush. Cleans easy and effectively and has retained its non-stickiness.

I do not know what it is treated with although I am pretty sure it is not teflon. I have had mine for about 2 years now. Sits outside year-around. Zero rust. And food sticks only slightly to it. I always mean to pre-spray it with Pam or something but always forget. Works fine regardless. Great product.

Not sure what oil is is seasoned with, I would compare it to buying a Lodge iron skillet that has been pre-seasoned. Definitely no Teflon of any other non stick. Had some heavy rains here in GA this summer and Had covered for a few weeks. Looks like it was starting to rust which I quickly re-seasoned and good to go. You can flip two of the quarters so all the grill marks are the same way by the way.

They state that it is seasoned, but don't state what with. I will say that we use a paper towel and olive oil on the grill before cooking, and the food doesn't stick. And, you still get that special cast iron flavor. We've been really happy with it!

No idea about the seasoning, but there is no Teflon or coating on it. Mine does rust if not cleaned and seasoned after every use.. Its really not any different than the Lodge pan's I have.. Well worth the investment..

I have no idea. I do know that my grill guru continually sings it's praises and when he's happy so is the beef,pork and romaine. Grill on!

I don't know what it is seasoned with. Oil I think. It ain't Teflon. The reason I say oil is that it will rust if you don't keep it sprayed with vegetable oil.

I assume it's sprayed with oil and heated at the factory to season it. It's straight cast iron. No Teflon.

They are not coated with teflon, they are merely coated with vegetable oil. After each use, I oil a cloth or brush with vegetable oil and put it on the grates to keep the grill from rusting. I love the grill grats, use them all of the time.

It has some kind of nonstick coating. Dunno if it's Teflon or not but it works well. I don't know what you mean by pre-seasoned, but it's not cast iron so my guess is no. It has a bare (silver) aluminum base where you can use it on stovetop. I occasionally use it in this way but my primary use for it is as a sous-vide vessel with the Dorkfood Sous Vide controller.

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!

No, it is pre-seasoned cast iron and if properly seasoned does not need Teflon. I suggest that you look at the manufactures web site for instructions on seasoning.

The surface of the grill is just like a cast iron skillet. Keep it clean, season with veg oil and it will remain non stick.

being cast iron, this should not go in dishwasher, or be washed with soap as it will quickly degrade the seasoning or coating on the grate that keeps food from sticking on it. It will rust and have to be reseasoned. Buy a heavy duty grill brush with hard man made bristles as anything else will hurt the coating. Oxo brand makes a good one. If and when you do get the grate wet it is best to wipe it down and dry it in the oven a few minutes. Then spray a light coat of cooking oil on it. Mine stays on the grill 24/7/365. I just turn the heat up and let any bits burn off during preheat, brush it down, and wipe a little oil on it.

I believe it is supposed to be nonstick. However, my turkey burgers and hot dogs did stick to the surface even after I oiled it. Clean up was messy. Next time I will spray it will a spray for grills.

They are enameled, however a bit rougher (vs. heavey smooth coating) then I'd like. I'd recommend you grease them well and let it burn a while before putting food on the grill.

It is coated, but I'm almost positive it is just a paint coating. I've only covered the grill with foil, because I was afraid of the paint flaking off in the heat while cooking. BUT that does make my clean up easy.

Rashid: The grill is coated in a somewhat rough porcelain finish almost like a powder coat. My grill has not rusted at all and its outside all the time and just has a canvas grill cover on it when not in use. I really like the way this grill works (cooks).

Sorry. I don't know; I sought it several years ago and I don't remember if the grill contains Teflon. I am sure the specs should describe details about containing materials, though.

It is seasoned with paraffin wax. You'll need to re-season it, once you receive it.

I can't tell what it's coated with. Given how quickly the underside on the edges rusted I'd say it' not throughly coated but is coated. I have 3 and they all had the same problem. I've made batches of pop corn shrimp on it for weeks now and 95% of them don't stick with no extra prep required [eg: no non stick spray].

I don't know and the instructions I got with the grill don't mention what the non-stick surface is made of.

It's an enamel, non-stick coating. Haven't had any problems with it-used it for about 2 months.
