It's all correct. Try not to read into it too much. It is nonstick, but don't think of it as a "coating," but more as the hard anodized ware...it just happens to be a great nonstick surface!! It is heavy like the other hard anodized ware pots and pans; they are gorgeous!! You don't have to use nonstick utensils, but I do anyway just to be careful. Also, you do not cook on high with these; you only need to cook on 3 or 4 with these - they hold their heat that well. I bought the whole set plus this one. They are amazing!!

You know what I'm not so sure but I did buy it because of the "hard anodized"; and so far this is the best pot I have ever owned!!! Been cooking for 35 years and have gone through some expensive pots and this is my absolute favorite!!! My daughter wants to steal it from me and I won't let her!!! :))

I don't know the technical answer, but I love it. The interior does not peel or look like a simple coating. It never sticks and cleans easily. I started with a set and have since added several separate pieces. I love them all.

No it isn't. I use it for heating liquids (water, soups) so I don't see the need for a non-stick coating.

I just received the WRONG item from this listing. Its supposed to be hard anodized commercial withOUT nonstick, but Ireceived the Nonstick vsn. I just spoke with Calphalon to ensure, they do not sell the commercial hard anodized nonstick set any longer. COSTCO has exclusive rights to the nonstick version of the hard anodized commercial nonstick pots and pans. The MODEL # on this listing is for the Commerical Hard anodized pot and pans that do NOT have nostick on them. I just received my order and got the WRONG product. I received what Costco is selling. I have contacted the seller for a switch of product. This is FALSE advertising going on here! Not cool! I just received the WRONG item from this listing.

No, It's hard anodized. You can only use stainless steel. It's a very nice pot if you have a regular stove.

I'm no expert but when I read anodized aluminum I think of the black coating on the outside or inside of a pan. These are brushed aluminum, not shiny, they're not black, they're not anodized aluminum.

it is coated but I spray it anyway. It's so nice that I ordered a second pan!

It's not ceramic and it is far better than any "teflon" like surface. I can't swear it is hard-anodized aluminum but I think it is. The description here on the product shows Hard Anodized and they would not risk false advertising, so I am certain it really is. I only know it is excellent. Not quite as slick as ceramic products, but still, excellent.

I believe that the "non-stick" material is some other kind of non-stick coating Cuisinart does not specify. However, Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont and the original patents expired a long time ago. So the coating could very well be "Teflon." It does seem to scratch easily, but the device does do an excellent job. We're happy with it.

Correct: Hard-Anodized is NOT "Non-Stick." The Hard-Anodized surface is generally more durable than a "Non-Stick" surface.

It is non stick and not hard anodized, it is nice one to make chapati's. I'm still using it.

Received this pan today and the packaging states "PFOA-free nonstick surface..."

I'm not sure. It says it's hard anodize which I think is another compound. I would check with All- Clad for the answer

It is coated with a non-stick material. I believe that because of its weight that it is aluminum.

HIAccording to the manual it says "non stick" coating. I don't see any identifiers other than that.Good luck

There is nothing on the product's box or in the instruction book that indicates exactly what the non-stick material is. It only says, "Coated with the world's most advanced non-stick technology." You may be able to find the answer by contacting the manufacturer at www.chefschoice.com. The company is actually Edgecraft Corporation in Avondale, PA, ph. 1-800-342-3255.

Hi Dibyendu, This is a real Hard anodized kadai. Something better than Calphalon. I would recommend this over Calphalon, since it is designed keeping Indian cooking in mind.
