Is the non-stick interior made of Teflon (a substance I'm really trying to get away from)?

No, it's some sort of treatment called anodized aluminium. It works great, better than teflon, but still needs to be treated with care. I LOVE these pans.

I don't know. I didn't bother to check the product lit before buying. Why? Well with four plus years of biochemistry study at various universities and having lived in this scare tactic society, I have learned that the government needs a purpose, and it finds its purpose in trying to control our lives. Mostly thru fear. Remember saccharin, coconut oil, butter, and all the other things that were going to kill you that don't. Well Teflon is just the next on the list. Constantly living in fear of the world around you will kill you faster than most things the government warns you about.

this is an anodized aluminum. this is specially treated to provide even heat. No teflon.

I contacted the manufacturer and they said: The non-stick surface is not Teflon. After the Hard Anodizing process of the pan(s) is complete and non-stick surface is added.

aluminum oxidizes instantly, and this process strips the "natural" oxide coating and this material forms a protective barrier. i never turn up high heat even with this product, and have not seen any surface damage. my concern with scratches in teflon is that it might also flake off and really did not want to eat that product. The issue was that it might also out-gas with extremely high heat applied.

http://www.zojirushi.com/index.html website only mentions nonstick, not sure if it teflon.

The bottom of the pan states that it is has "durable nonstick". Even though the pan doesn't state that it has a Teflon, the coating is very similar to it. The pan wipes clean very easy and I have not had any problems with sticking.

It is non-stick teflon coating on the inside, stainless steel outside.I believe there is another model sans teflon coating.

The interior is not teflon coated. It appears to be brushed stainless steel.

It looks and feels like teflon. The literature with the product does not appear to say specifically what it is. We have had ours for a couple of years. Although it is not used heavily, we have not seen any breakdown of the interior finish.

Hello Jayajit, The surface inside is non-stick, although I don't know if it's specifically Teflon. The instructions are to spray the inside plates with an oil spray before cooking. The waffles release easily once cooked. Hope this helps -- please let me know if you'd any other information. Anna

The interior walls of the oven are "a non-stick surface", according to the instruction manual.It is definitely not stainless steel.

It is stainless steel. Since liquid is often added to the contents or cooked out of it, there would typically be no sticking. In addition, there is an aluminum insert that can be placed in the bottom of the cooker to help keep solids from sticking to the pot. However, I do not believe the interior is nonstick.

I would say it is non-stick, but not the teflon kind that is painted on and flakes. I hate that. The liner is made of a material that is non stick. In fact I'm using it right now. I've used it to saute on the stove and the slow cook and it was fine and easy to clean. I love it actually.

I am pretty sure it is. it's not like the old Teflon pans where you see and can scratch the coating off.

The coating is definitely not Teflon it is some other form of nonstick.I have read that some users have had that happened to the buttons but I have not had that happen yet and I use mine quite frequently.

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

If not "Teflon", It is something identical ..... Have used for 3 + Months & it is very durable .....no sticking

It's a non-stick coating of a higher quality than I've had on any other non-stick pan. I'm not sure if it's Teflon. You could conceivably use metal utensils-a smooth metal spatula probably would not scratch it, for example-but non-metal (silicon, wood) is probably preferred.

It does have a nonstick coating inside the pan. It is not invisable...it looks.like Teflon.

Yes: non-stick inner pan. (Not sure if it's PTFE - seems like it - but rice doesn't stick to it.)
