what is the nonstick coating made out of? Teflon or some other material?

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.

The grids have a nonstick coating that works... I don't know if it is "Teflon" brand.

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.

The nonstick surface appears to be much more durable than the earlier Teflon, but I wouldn't recommend using metal. Use wood or plastic.

The packaging does not specify. It definitely has a coating, but I'm not sure what it is. It just says non-stick surface. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

The inside of the pans is covered in some sort of a non-stick material. It most likely is Teflon.

Appears to be a teflon type coating. Not really sure. I would recommend asking the manufacturer.

It is a non-stick coating, though it doesn't specifically say "Teflon". You'd have to check with the the manufacturer to find actual name of coating. LS

As far as I know, it is Teflon. I don't have the packaging information anymore, so I can't say for sure. Sorry.

I'm not sure of the inner pot, but aluminum sounds like a good guess. It is coated with a non-stick material which is similar to what the more quality pots and pans are coated with, like Circulon, etc. I don't think it's Teflon unless they've re-worked their formula. I like it very much; doesn't scratch or peel off.

No coating that I can see...not Teflon ....the grease does not stick to the container anyway.

I don't know what the coating is made of. This coating is spectacular. It actually is non-stick. I've used mine daily for 2 yrs. The coating is still perfect! It's delightful to own such a great product.

I don't think it is coated with Teflon. I think it is coated with something that is more heavy duty then Teflon.

It can be nonstick and not be Teflon. I own this and am now concerned that it's Teflon. (Or at least contains PFOA.) If it does, I'm going to stop using it. Researching now.

That teflon kind of stuff. The usual. I cover it with baking paper when I use it. But I like Phylis O's answer better. See below. She seems to know more.
