I bought this but I'm thinking about returning after looking at the inside. I expected stainless steel but it looks like nonstick. Anyone know??

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

It is non-stick inside. I love my teakettle. I have had no issues with it and it cleans well as well aesthetically pleasing.

Mine is stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating to speak of. It's not like a coating you might find on a pan or pot, it's simply stainless steel. With a little oil, I have had no issues.

i use it almost everyday in the past two monthes. Because I like making Chinese food. Frankly speaking there is nothing left on the base. So maybe it is nonstick

It is stainless steel without a coating of any kind. It is very easy to clean. I use mine for stir frying, which means using very little oil; stirring constantly in order to keep the food from sticking.

The inside surface of the saucepan is stainless and not smooth. Everything sticks.

What a great question! I was very upset for not researching that before I bought, but I have researched and found it to be 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 assumed it was (1 - it's pampered chef and 2 - it appeared to be stainless steel), and it looks like it ruined the inside part. It became very dull and tons of black "soot" came off when I touched it. Very disappointed!

It is not textured and I wouldn't recommend this product. It does not give a real stainless look.

The stainless cookware is NOT nonstick. If you want nonstick, look for the Hard Anodized version.

It does not have a non stick surface. It is however stainless steel and is easy to clean.

The pan just out of the box is not shiny stainless steel on the inside cooking surface, but a darker color and appears to be a coating. Did you find a difference from the outside shiny stainless steel to the inside darker textured surface?

I don't believe it is stainless steel, but it is a brushed metal, & it does not have a Teflon nonstick surface. It has a liquid core that is sandwiched between the outside metal bowl and the one on the inside. The bowl needs to be frozen before use. I have two of the bowls so that I always have one clean freezer bowl ready for use in case the other still has ice cream in it.

It is not nonstick in the sense that coated nonstick pans are. There is no coating, just plain, bare steel. It becomes somewhat nonstick like a cast iron skillet with curing and repeated use. Cure as you would a cast iron skillet. The more you use it the better the nonstick properties become provided you wash it gently and don't scrub off the cure.

The pan interior is stainless steel. I don't use it but my wife loves it for its even heating properties. When I asked her how easy it was to clean she said it is no problem, the finishing step she uses is a fairly coarse steel wool but it sure does clean up nicely. She cooks with oil and butter.

Good question! I called Farberware customer service today and they said it was all Stainless Steel, inside and out. K-Mart also carries this pan on their website, so hopefully could look at it in the store.
