does the coating come off?
312683
I've had two of these knives for over 6 years and use at least one of them almost daily. The coating on the one I use the most is really starting to flake off. I cut soft cheese yesterday and the coating was flaking off on the cheese so I'm going to replace it because I really really like them. I only hand wash them & store them on a magnetic knife strip.

Mine have not so far and I've put them in the dishwasher before. Good question, will keep an eye on mine.

Yes, eventually it wears off on the edges. I'm looking at mine that are at least 8-10 years old, I tried to upload a picture, but I can't, sorry. Hardly bothers me though, because I LOVE these knives! I have newer ones too, they are maybe a year old without a mark! My new ones a still beautifully sharp. I still use my old one though, I just use a knife sharpener every now and then. The kuhn rikon sharpener works great, but don't drop it! The wheel will dislodge and it'll be worthless. I recently got the "Edge of Glory" sharpener, love it! Small, suctions to the counter, and works great with a few swipes. Yes, eventually it wears off on the edges.

Not in my experience. I find these to be a handy and useful kitchen tool. I really like them.

It has no coating, but comes clean easily with "Barkeepers Friend". I just soak after use and it comes clean easily after dinner even if I accidently burn something.

Yes it has a protective coating on it, very well put together,paint possibly heated ,I doubt you will regret it's purchase

I had no problem if you follow their instructions. The key i think is first getting the protective coating completely removed. Love the pan!

No, it does not have the vinyl coating. I used to have it but it gets dirty and eventually chips away exposing the metal below. I am happy with the stainless steel because it cleans up better and does not show the dirt. I have not broken a dish yet!

As far as I know, it doesn't have a coating but you should coat it with a thin layer of olive oil from time to time (I think about 6 months)

no, the cooking pot is coated with a non-stick material. It has held up wonderfully & clean up is a breeze-Great appliance-got rid of my rice cooker, & crock pot:) this is a 5 star purchase-but buy a cook book for more ideas or check out utube

I don't think so. Out of curiosity I took a sharp knife and scratched it. Looks the same beneath as on the surface. I can't tell that it even has a coating. I've only had this for a few months but it's been knocked around in the gadget drawer and run through the dishwasher. Looks new.

It comes off. Just grab the plastic tip sticking up in the center and pull it off for an easy clean.

I love this pan. I have two of them. The best non stick pan I have ever owned. I have not had a problem with the non stick coating..I'm somewhat suspicious that they used metal utensils or a Brillo pad to clean this which you should never do.. Again..best pans I have ever owned and we'll worth the money..Take care of it and it will last a long time.. I hope this helps..

We haven't used it much, so I don't know if the coating will wear off. The pan is fairly easy to clean but the rack is more difficult. It takes a fair amount of scrubbing, but does clean with some effort.

No there's no coating in it. In fact, unless you wash it thoroughly, the lemon oil from the rinds will build up on it.

No, not really unless you remove the rubberized paint. Which by the way I just noticed that rubberized paint is coming off on mine.

No, it shouldn't mess with it. At least that I could tell. Its a thin not noticeable coating.

There are no coatings on it. It's plain black cast iron. I seasoned mine three times before I used it and nothing stuck and it cleaned up easily.

Yes. I have heavily used mine for about 2 years and the Teflon coating is now starting to chip off but only slightly.

Coating hasn't peeled off, but I haven't owned it real long. Maybe 6 months.
