The nonstick contains PTFE. I called Customer Service before ordering it, and they confirmed it for me.

Glad to be of assistance.
I was under the impression that nonstick containing PTFE was being phased out. I wonder if these are the tail line of a production run by Ninja.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was to hear that this contained PTFE. I wanted to replace my aging Crock-Pot with this, but when I heard PTFE was involved, I deleted the order. The gases produced by even slightly overheated PTFE are lethal to pet parrots. I tossed all of my nonstick when we got our first parrot in 1999 (we have five now), and didn't buy any more until I saw a set of three MarkCharles Masilli ceramic nonstick frying pans on clearance last summer. They're great to cook with, and unlike stainless steel, cleanup is a breeze.

I had the same problem with Calphalon when I called about a new cookware line they were introducing several years ago (I think it was the One line). They refused to tell me if the nonstick contained PTFE, and cited 'proprietary issues' -- basically, they acted as if I was an industrial spy, even though I'd explained that I was concerned for the health of our birds. I never bought a piece of Calphalon again. My last full set of cookware was Cuisinart stainless, purchased in Sam's (it's gorgeous -- I call it bling for my stove, and 14 pieces were only $140), augmented by a 3-piece set of frying pans from MarkCharles Masilli that's made with ceramic non-stick (and I wish I could find a larger frying pan in that same style -- I love them to death).

I have been researching and have found on the Cuisinart site one of the answers was that the insert is BPA free. There is also a good video explaining the cooker. Just go to Cuisinart. com. When I went to the bed bath and beyond site someone asked about the Cuisinart insert. The reply was it is not teflon and it is a quantum 2 material which is ceramic. I am going to call Cuisinart tomorrow to get more info.Glad to be of assistance.
