Is the nonstick coating Dupont Teflon and was this skillet manufactured after Jan 1, 2012?

I don't know. I do not think it was manufactured after Jan1, 2012, but you may ask questions by contacting Jarden Consumer Service at USA 1.800.334.0759 or Canada 1.800.667.8623.

Ours was manufactured before 2012, as it was purchased in December 2011. Neither the product nor the user manual that we have refers to the nonstick coating as Dupont Teflon. In fact no trademarked name for that coating is referenced.

No it is not coated if you are use to Teflon, it will be a disappointment.I am not impressed with the quality either

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.

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

Yes, it does have a non-stick coating...and we've stopped using that. Invest in Le Cruset if you can.

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

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.

Teflon nonstick. Made in China. Excellent cooking. Dishwasher safe. I love it.

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

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.

from Presto Customer Service, Our current model, stock number 07115, is ceramic coated and does NOT have PTFE or PFOA. All other griddles/skillets do have PTFE and PFOA.

I have no 'skin' in this game and do not work for Dupont. Everything that I have found points to this coating being safe for humans. My wife and I have used this cookware for some time now and we have not seen any degradation of the surface. Teflon" is the same thing as PFOA. Fact: If someone tells you "Teflon" is PFOA, they are wrong. Teflon is a brand. Even the EPA has said that the Teflon brand is not PFOA. In fact, DuPont Teflon nonstick coatings for cookware and consumer bakeware are made without PFOA. Does DuPont use PFOA to make nonstick coatings for cookware? No. As of January 1, 2012, DuPont no longer uses PFOA to manufacture nonstick coatings for cookware and consumer bakeware. Yes, products coated with Teflon nonstick coatings are safe. Prior to market introduction, DuPont nonstick coatings were subjected to studies at the DuPont Haskell Global Centers for Health & Environmental Sciences. Cooks in more than 40 countries around the world have purchased and used billions of pots and pans with DuPont nonstick coatings. Over the past 40 years, there have been only a few reported accounts of polymer fume fever, a minor health effect with reversible flu-like symptoms, as a result of severely overheating nonstick cookware. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that DuPont nonstick coatings for cookware are acceptable for conventional kitchen use. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission rejected a petition in 2003 to require a label warning for nonstick coatings. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not believe there is any reason for consumers to stop using any consumer or industrial related products. We have no fears with regards to this product... great choice and value for the money. Ron

I'm not sure if it is "Teflon" but they have an awesome non-stick coating. I brushed them with vegetable oil before we used it the first time and the waffles never stick. This is a great waffle maker. I highly recommend it.

Yes, it is Teflon coated but I have had mine for 2 years and it is holding up fine.

It is not cast iron, it is cast aluminum, and yes it does have a non-stick coating.

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.
