Is this Wok coated in TEFLON/PTFE? I noted that people were alarmed that it rusted; so is it carbon steel that needs seasoning??

I believe it is carbon steel as it does rust if not lightly coated with oil after each use/washing. A magnet does stick to the wok itself but not the lid or ring both of those seem to be aluminum. I will say that I just checked mine and where I had coated it after last use is fine but the outside bottom (which I did not coat) has some rust already. This does not appear to be made as well as this same wok I purchased over 20 years ago.

Yes it is coated with a very nice Teflon, that does not flake off. I wash my rice in a bowl, so as not to scratch the cooker.

I don't know what it is seasoned with. Oil I think. It ain't Teflon. The reason I say oil is that it will rust if you don't keep it sprayed with vegetable oil.

The coating doesn't appear to be visible. It appears to be part of the pan. I have no clue what PTFEs or PFOAs are so I can't answer that question.

Hard to explain, but there is no teflon coating on it but I have used the pan extensively so it is a well used pan. I like to call it seasoned and it works just as good today as when I first started to use it.

Stainless steel needs no coating. Hard surface keeps stuff from sticking. Unlike PTFE(Teflon) surfaces, no odd chemicals leach into food. More durable but slightly less nonstick than PTFE

I own one just like this model and I'm not sure if it's Teflon...but it is a coated pan. I have had mine for around 3 months and use it 3to 4 times a week. The interior is also coated where the pot sits to heat and I can see no sign of use on either the pan or interior cooking surface area. Very well made.

It is Teflon coated. I might add very, very poor quality Teflon. After only two times using it the Teflon started peeling off where the rivets hold the handles. Don't waste your money buying this crock pot.

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

There is no coating, it is like any other Cast-Iron and does need to be seasoned. We love ours!

Thanks for clarifying! The Amazon heading has "stainless steel" in the title, so I'm glad I discovered it's actually teflon coated before ordering.

Okay. I had stir frying in mind & haven't been that happy w/ recent incarnations of cast iron (vs. my grandmother's stuff which I don't own.) I had one carbon steel wok that INSTANTLY rusted when I followed manufacturer's first-time use instructions so I feel like an idiot but I keep trying to find the solution. Thanks for your input.

No it is not coated with Teflon. You must season it prior to use and coat with vegetable spray or other prior to use in order to prevent sticking of what you are baking.

It's a non-stick coating of a higher quality than I've had on any other non-stick pan. I'm not sure if it's Teflon®. You could conceivably use metal utensils-a smooth metal spatula probably would not scratch it, for example-but non-metal (silicon, wood) is probably preferred.

I've never had a problem with mine. If you do find any spots of rust, just rinse them off and rub oil on the wok. I use coconut, but any viscous oil will do.

It is metal/stainless steel. I only use mine in cups, bowls, and pans...... I haven't had a need to use it in a teflon skillet. I do all my mixing in measuring cup or bowl and pour it into my skillet. My pans are not coated, so nothing to scratch when used in my pans. Hope this helped.

No it is just stainless steel. I got it because I didn't want the toxic Teflon coating. So it can be difficult to clean. Just soak it.
