What is the non-stick coating comprised of? ptfe or ptfe derivatives?

Dear Loretta smith, Thank you for your interest in our Anolon Advanced Bronze Nonstick Bakeware. Our nonstick cookware is PFOA-free, and the nonstick coatings do contain PTFE - actually, all nonstick coatings from any maker contain PTFE. "PTFE" is basically the chemical name of the nonstick coating - it's the actual ingredient that makes the cookware "nonstick." Rest assured, Loretta smith , that our nonstick cookware is safe for everyday consumer use. Should you have any more questions, our team of Consumer Relations experts are available toll-free at 800-388-3872, Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm PT (Pacific Time), excluding holidays. Thank you, Tonia

Do I have to use non-stick spray

Thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend using nonstick cooking sprays on nonstick surfaces. We recommend using butter, oil, or margarine. we hope this information is helpful.
