They never used Teflon. For a very short time it's rumored they used Silverstone on some pieces, but even that was applied to an enamel cook surface.
One of the most common reasons that food sticks to our pans is using a heat setting that is too high. The heat level depends on your stovetop, so it might take a few tries to figure out your perfect level.

Never store the product when still damp, and store in a dry place. Le Creuset Essential Non-stick Ceramic cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, to prolong the life of the non-stick surface and enhance cooking performance of the non-stick coating, we recommend washing by hand in warm soapy water.
Le Creuset states that you should never use metal sponges, abrasive cleaners, or metal utensils when washing as they may scratch the cookware's enamel surface. Instead, the brand recommends using soft natural or nylon sponges when cleaning the interior or exterior of your pan.
Does HexClad have Teflon in it? Teflon is a proprietary brand of PTFE made by Chemours that is not used by HexClad. Instead, the brand now uses ceramic to coat the nonstick valleys of its cookware.

Our Favorite Egg Pan

Looking at the facts, we've determined that Le Creuset is safe to use. So whether you're looking to buy your first enamelled cast iron dish, or just add a few to your wish list, at least there's no reason to worry about any form of leaching.
Why is Le Creuset cookware so expensive? The short answer is: because you get what you pay for. Le Creuset makes some of the best cast iron cookware on the market, including the best Dutch oven money can buy.
Le Creuset products that are not cast-iron may be made in other countries, such as China (accessories or silicone products), Thailand (kettles and ceramics), England (enamel cleaner), Portugal (stainless steel), and Eswatini (clay pots).
As for cleaners, our Le Creuset Cast Iron Cookware Cleaner will help keep your Dutch oven looking great, and is ideal for removing metal marks caused by metal tools. Bar Keeper's Friend, or a paste of baking soda and water, also comes in handy for cleaning tough stains, oil residue and marks on your Dutch oven as well.
They will last forever (okay, maybe not 1,000 years, but still). We stock our kitchens with Le Creuset dutch ovens, braising pans, woks and frying pans, and they take a pretty heavy beating.
It's important not to overheat your Le Creuset Cast Iron Casserole – this can cause food to stick. Always cook on a low to medium heat, whatever heat source you're using. Make sure you build heat gradually too.
In our opinion, the answer is yes. We're big fans of any brand that offers a lifetime warranty on its products and Le Creuset is one of them. In fact, its ceramics are so well made that they often outlive the people who originally bought them, with items being passed down to the next generation.
Le Creuset cookware is warranted to you by Le Creuset of America, Inc. to be free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of its purchase. For this Lifetime Limited Warranty to apply, you must follow the care and use instructions provided with the utensil. This warranty covers normal household use only.
The most common reason food sticks to cast iron is because the pan is simply too hot.
Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly. Condition the interior non-stick surface by rubbing vegetable or corn oil over the entire surface, using a paper towel. When you're done, rinse your product with hot water, then dry thoroughly.
