According to the manufacturer Meyer Corporation, Circulon's nonstick coatings contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the technical name for the material commonly known by the brand name Teflon. This means that while they don't use the 'Teflon' brand, the core nonstick polymer is the same. All modern Circulon nonstick cookware is completely PFOA-free, addressing past health concerns.

Since Calphalon's invention of hard-anodized aluminum cookware in 1968, the brand has expanded its coating options. So, what is the coating on Calphalon pots? It depends on the specific product line, with options including proprietary PTFE-based coatings and oil-infused ceramic finishes.
