Could anyone tell me what hard anodized means? Is the new
cookware teflon coated? I am confused with this
Thanks!

Amber,
I'm told that hard-anodized aluminum is harder than stainless steel. In fact, a NASCAR fan friend of mine states that's what NASCAR engines are made from.

The Executive cookware is also a titanium alloy, making it stronger than ever.

Our cookware is coated with Dupont Autograph II nonstick coating. The word "Teflon" isn't in the description...

"Hard-anodization is an electrochemical process that gives added hardness and seals the surface of the pan" (Found this on CC under the Product Information Guide- lots of great info on each product!)

The Prof. cookware is coated with Dupont Autograph Non-stick surface, and the Exec. cookware is coated with Dupont Autograph II Non-stick. These are actually BAKED ON, not sprayed on, which is why they do not begin to peel off with use!
