The nonstick coating is something similar to what's on Teflon
I want to warn the customers who are looking for non-teflon cookware that the non-stick feature of this Circulon Hard Anodized Skillet is actually from a coating using DuPont's technique, which is the same as Teflon pans, and not from the anodized aluminum. I was trying to get rid of all the teflon cookware in my kitchen and looking for replacements. I read some online articles saying hard anodized alluminum cookware is safe and strong to withstand scratches and therefore long-lasting. That led me to this product. On the Amazon webpage, there was NO any description of COATING on the skillet, so I thought the anodized construction could yield non-stick feature for the pan. Plus almost all the reviews are very positive so I purchased this twin pack. However, after I received the product, I read through the product description on the package very carefully. It clearly says that the surface of the skillets were treated using DuPont autogragh technique. Because I know the teflon coating was first developed by DuPont, I immediately realized that there is a teflon coating on the pan that makes it non-stick. I also called and asked the company about this and got confirmed. Of course I was very upset with this and decided to return this item right away. The good thing was I could print return label online and drop off in UPS store without any charge of shipping fee for return. I am still waiting for the product to arrive to Amazon and getting my refund back. Hope this review will help someones like me who don't want teflon coating cookware.
