Is the coating PTFE such as Teflon which it looks like or ceramic?

This pan is ceramic. It is the hardest ceramic coating Volrath make, they make two lesser coatings, plus a Teflon one and some metal ones. Go to this source for more info on Volrath pans. http://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/volrath-4010.html The Z4010 is ceramic the S4010 is Teflon. You could not use metal utensils as the description on this pan allows if it was Teflon. I have several of these CeramiGard II Volrath skillets from Webstaurantsrore.com and love them. I always get the CeramiGard II due to its better performance, and the rivets are also coated on riveted pans. For what it's worth the handle is oven safe to 450 degrees. Tom

It is PTFE without the use of PFOA's. PFOA's are normally associated with the process of making Teflon, however Volrath advertises the CeramiGuard II coating was created without PFOA:http://vollrathuniversity.com/vollrathUniversity/Product-Training/Professional-Cookware/PFOA-Free-Fry-Pan-Coatings.htm

It looks like a teflon coated pan, but I have to say it is pretty durable, gets used a few times a week in my house with others who don't care for it quite like I do and so far no scratches. I actually ordered this for my niece then kept it for myself b/c she ONLY wanted ceramic. Bought her cuisinart ceramics from Kohls with coups and they looked like much better quality than most of the ceramics.

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

ParaFlexx Premium are PTFE coated non-stick sheets. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE is Teflon by DuPont Co.While PTFE is stable and nontoxic at lower temperatures, it begins to deteriorate after the temperature of cookware reaches about 260 C (500 F), and decomposes above 350 C (662 F). These degradation by-products can be lethal to birds, and can cause flu-like symptoms in humans. In May, 2003, the environmental research and advocacy organization Environmental Working Group filed a 14-page brief with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission petitioning for a rule requiring that cookware and heated appliances bearing non-stick coatings carry a label warning of hazards to people and to birds

The coating on the Wilton doesn't look like any Teflon product I've ever had. So I doubt that it's coated with Teflon. But I'd check with Wilton to be sure.

The other Ozeri pans claim they are both PFOA and PTFE free, this one does not - so I am assuming it is present in the material. I did a little research into the Greblon coating which is made by Weilburger in Germany. They do make several different coatings that contain PTFE aka Teflon. Only one of their products is PTFE free, a coating called CK2, but we don't know exactly which one is present in this pan.

Sorry, I cannot tell if it is coated with Teflon. However, the surface is more porous than a regular pan and any coating seems to last longer than Teflon coated pans.

I was disappointed to find out it's not coated with ceramic, it is Teflon. It works very well though. Easy to clean.

No. PTFE is the main ingredient in their nonstick coating. According to their label, PTFE is inert and will pass through the body without being absorbed.

It's coated, but doesn't look like a nonstick coating. It feels more like an enameled (albeit very thin) coating, not the usual teflon. It doesn't really have any taste...strangely enough.

I am not sure if it ceramic or Teflon. We have used it for over a year without any scratches or flaking. I am very happy with the durability of the coating.

It is a stainless steel liner with t nonstick coating PTFE, a fluropolymer. Sorry it took so long to answer, I was out of the country. I hope it helps.

I'm not sure if it's teflon or something similar, but it is definitely not ceramic. And it is not PFOA free

Hi. I went on the Calphalon website and here's what they had to say about "teflon" Does your cookware contain Teflon®?Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont and a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) a nonstick finish. While Calphalon cookware features polytetrafluoroethylene-based nonstick finishes, we are not associated with, nor do we use, Teflon® branded products.

I got the answer directly from Cuisinart this morning: Yes, the non-stick interior does have a light grey PTFE/PFOA non-stick coating called Lexon. It looks like metal because of the color but is a non-stick coating. I was disappointed to hear this and will be returning my unit, which I bought based on the erroneous "No Teflon" answers.

I know there is a controversy about the use of PTFE (Teflon being the brand name used by Dupont). I've noted that after a year of very extensive use, the nonstick coating on the pan in the Virtuoso, is lasting longer than the pan in the unit I previously owned. I see no signs of it wearing off, peeling, or discoloration, although I use a lot of seeds and other ingredients which would scratch a PTFE surface.

Sorry, I can't tell. It is coated like teflon. This is my second one and i use it everyday.

It is coated with a product called Thermalon, which works very well, but the main selling point is that it contains no PTFE or PFOA materials. It feels very much like a ceramic coated pan we had, but it is not ceramic per-se.
