Is this teflon or something else? Anyone have one of these?

Carla-
They are AMAZING! I am in absolute love with mine. In fact it gets used all the time now! It has an andonized surface. It doesn't look like Teflon to me.
This is from the GSI Outdoors website:
What is Hard Anodized?
• The Hard Anodization process alters & hardens the structure of the cookware surface, making it incredibly abrasion resistant
• Twice as hard as stainless steel
• Combines the best attributes of a very hard surface treatment with the quick-even heat transfer of aluminum
• The process seals the aluminum preventing any direct contact between the core & food
• Hard Anodized cookware allows heat to quickly & evenly spread across the bottom & up the sides of the pot making it one of the best cooking surfaces available

Hi Ladies,
The Perfect BakeOver Skillets are made of hard anodized aluminum. That means that the electrons on the surface of the aluminum are changed so that it creates a hard exterior. That means there are no chemical coatings that can be flaked off or emit gas.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!

This is so good to know - I have one of these skillets and absolutely love it - I use it for BakeOvers, stir fry, eggs, you name it! It's perfect for toasting almonds in, too, with the rounded shape. Anyway - it's really nice to know that it's not "flake-able." I tossed all of my Teflon stuff a few years ago, and have really steered clear of any coatings since then - just stainless steel and the BakeOver skillet...
XOXO, Libbie

I have one and love it too. The kids call it the "egg pan" since I scramble eggs in it alot when it is just the kids and I..the big pan comes out when we have company or dad is home for breakfast. I LOVE my cast iron but I wouldn't want to be without my little bakeover skillet either..it is wonderful!

Glad to hear such great things about this pan. I have been looking for a "wok like" pan, one without a wooden handle. This sounds like just the ticket. Can't wait to order one.

I have one but I can't find it. WAHHH! I took it on a cook out and I'm sure I packed it up so it's got to be around the house somewhere! I love that pan!

Trace- Oh I am sure you will love it! The handle is metal and you can take it on or off pretty easily, but it locks in so you don't have to worry about it coming off right when you need it! I love the fact that it isn't teflon, but it is non-stick. :)
Ayako- I hope you find yours soon! I know I wouldn't know what to do without ours now!

Thanks Alee, I gave away all of my teflon a while ago. I use a lot of cast iron. But, pay day is 7 days away and I am splurging for this pan, can't wait!!! Is it normal to get this excited over a pan?? lol

This is a good time to ask, lol... which size would be most handy? I am now thinking the larger size would offer me more use and be more pratical.. What do you girls think?

I like both, but would go with the bigger size first. You can cook smaller amounts in a bigger size, but the smaller size only holds so much :)

Just another note- I have noticed that water boils faster in this pan than it does in my stainless steel pans.

I love my small one and will be getting the larger one as well. The folding handle is so convenient. Before I ordered, I called the company that makes them to ensure that they were safe to use in the oven at 425; they said the pans could go up to 500 as long as they had food in them. I was very relieved to learn the difference between non-stick pans with Teflon coatings, and the anodized surface on these. Too bad I didn't check here at the forum before doing all that research! ;-)

Stasia-
Welcome to the forums! I am so glad you like your skillet! Sometimes having done the research makes you feel even better about the product, eh? :)

I got the smaller size, and now I wish I had gotten the bigger one. It's only DH and me at home, so I thought I'd just go smaller. However, the bakeover crusts make it pretty dough-y in the smaller size. So, now I just put part of the bakeover mix on top, and I make another, small "bakeover" in a pyrex glass baking dish. It works well for veggies & meat in the skillet and fruits in the small pyrex.

Kathy-
The traditional bake over just has a crust on top, so when you flip it over after cooking- the crust is on the bottom. Were you cooking your food with a crust all around it?
