Is the non-stick interior made from an unhealthy type of material like Teflon or one of the newer, more healthy non-stick alternatives?

The pot that you cook in is not teflon, more like a light metal that is non stick & very easy to clean.

This coating is far better than teflon. I have used this cookware for over 5 years now and it is still in excellent condition as the day I bought it and nothing sticks to it. It's fabulous. As far as the health risks, I wouldn't worry. Rachel puts quality into everything she makes. I love this set so much that I bought another 5 years later and I still haven't opened the box. When this set does wear out, I have a backup. Hope this answers your question.

It does not look like a nonstick interior, but it really acts like it. It looks like metal. However, it is very easy to clean with only a sponge, so it must be some type of non-stick I am not used to seeing. If you let it sit for a short time with soap and warm water, it always cleans very easily.

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

No. The Beyond Gourmet website says it is "Silicone-coated; Quilon-free". So the non-stick properties are from the silicone coating, and there is no need of Teflon, and no Teflon listed.

Teflon, as a non-stick surface has many detractors, its made in an environmentally unfriendly fashion, outgasses CFC's and its break-down products are (at least potentially) dangerous to birds and fish. 'The Green ceramic coating from this line is ostensibly ceramic based, and less toxic on several levels, plus they make the base out of iron/steel, not aluminum, and lastly it has a little bit of a dark green color.

It is nonestick. So far it is easy to clean, and cooks great. I am not sure what material is made of. U have to contact the seller for correct information.

I have no idea. I suppose I should. I didn't even know it was non-stick. Interior? The whole unit appears to be stainless. I am used to non-stick being black, like Teflon.

Looks like Teflon to me, but there are new nonstick coatings out there being used now like the coating on the latest 'green' pans. This pan insert works very well, just keep a watch on eggs for doneness. Personally I always take eggs out of the frig in enough time for them to become closer to room temp. Find it works well to keep my yolks from becoming hard cooked.

There is a non-stick coating, I'm just not sure if it's ceramic or Teflon?...

I'm not sure what type of non-stick interior the pan has, but whatever it is, it seems very durable so far.

I was sometimes I would soak it a bit then wipe with a soft sponge. My problem was that the nonstick surface began to wear and chip. I sent it back as you do not want to ingest teflon, very bad for you. It was a shame because otherwise we loved it.

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!

While I do not know the answer, I'd recommend asking Cuisinart directly, as they would have the information you want. Also, apparently Teflon is no longer created with PFOA & there are supposedly lots of nonstick coatings that aren't dangerous, but don't take my word for it, it's just something I was reading. Still, recommend asking Cuisinart, because unless the customers on Amazon happen to have taken part in the manufacturing, they most likely do not know. :(

We bought the aluminum one. We really like the way it cooks the food evenly. I don't have any experience with the non-stick one, but the aluminum one does stick and is harder to clean. This is not an issue for us, as we were expecting that.

Sorry, but that is the only one. The frying pan NEVER was any good as far as I am concerned. Was NOT like they show on TV. I seasoned as directed but it was not stick-free like my regular teflon pans. I DO NOT recommend Orgreenic cookware at all. Waste of your money.

I called the company about the liner because it is nonstick. It is very light weight so I think it is aluminum, but it is coated with nonstick. The lady told me that nonstick is bad for you only if it reaches a certain temperature, that this cooker never reaches. Of course, if the liner chips, I will no longer use it. But I think if you wash it gently, it will be okay for a long time. I got mine at a clearance price at Target and it works well so I decided to keep it. You have to spend a lot of money to get one with a stainless liner.
