Do these pots and pans contain a teflon coating?

Teflon was banned for use on pots and pans several years ago, so I hope they're not still using it....

i can not say. it does not say in the manual. It just keeps saying T-Fal non stick coating. It does say that the coating is designed not to chip, but if it does, it is not harmful. It also says in the manual that cooking at ultra high settings can cause emission of fumes from the non-stick coating that can be dangerous for certain animals with very sensitive respiratory systems, such as birds, so they should not be kept in the kitchen. If you want to call them, their phone number is 1-800-395-8325 in the USA and 1-800-418-3325 in Canada. Hope that helps.

Teflon is the name of a non-stick coating developed by Dupont. Because it is branded, I'd expect that you'd see the name listed if it was being used. I do not know how different other non-stick coatings are from Teflon, but I do not believe that this product contains the specific coating that can be called Teflon.

No-teflon is a coating,the non-stick is in the metal(thats why they are approved for metal utensils)

Yes, just the fry pans have nonstick coating; all the sauce pans are stainless steel.

Not in the pan you cook food in - it appears to be enamel. I'm not aware of any teflon in the unit at all.

Yes, I believe they are Teflon coated. The work great in my Excalibur dehydrator.

There is no coating. The pans have been preseasoned and I just washed with hot water(no soap ever on seasoned pans) before the first use. Love them! Enameled bottom is perfect for glass top electric stove use by people who like to cook in cast iron.

It definitely has a coating which I assume is Teflon . I use this pan. 3X a week. Cleaning this pan is so easy!

Yes the pots are Stainless Steal and designed to be nonstick. Thank you for your interest in Tools of the Trade cookware. Dave Stellar Bargains Amazon Marketplace

Oddly, yes this set has teflon. Yes it's hard anodized, but in store it displays that as an outer layer. The inside non-stick layer is still Teflon. I don't understand this either, I thought hard anodized was superior to teflon pans, but this does contain teflon. I can't verify online, but there's another reviewer who can confirm. It's "long lasting teflon": http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11485000/kirkland-signature-kirkland-signature-15-piece-hard-anodized-aluminum-cookware-set-reviews/reviews.htm#BVRRDisplayContentReviewID_20710751

They are non-stick, but I doubt anything is made of Teflon today. I just don't know. Sorry

The pans are steel coated with enamel. Which is very safe opposed to a nonstick coating which wears off and could impart chemicals into your food.

The non-stick coating is ceramic based. Hence, there is no PTFE in the product. We now have a total of 4 of the pans, and, they are the best my wife and I have ever used. We are aged late 50's, so, we have used many pots and pans in our lives.

Yes they are. One warning, however... Water takes FOREVER to boil in these pots. Wonderfully heavy pans but not terribly heat conductive. Plan on lots of extra time to cook your meal.

I would ask to open the box before purchase. Some Calphalon is Coated. I had a set that lost its coating after 8 years of use. If the pans are anodized, they are not coated. They will stick, but adding extra oil or butter helps. Soaking in hot, soapy water will make cleaning easier.

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.

I don't believe so, I think they are aluminum with a non stick coating like Teflon???
