Users have reported the pan becomes stick for less than 4 months normal usage. Do you know any good non stick pan that can keep non stick longer?

None of non-stick pans can last longer than one year when cooking Chinese food. I found one made in Korea lasted the longest years ago but I forget the brand.

This pan can be thoroughly cleaned by tooth paste and maintained by high concentrated white vinegar.

When the pan begins to stick, clean it with a paste made of baking soda/water, or use soft scrub, Bon Ami or another low-abrasive cleaner suitable for nonstick cookware. Scrub gently with a paper towel or blue nonstick-safe scrubby pad. Wash and use as usual. Really "sticky" pans may require an additional scrubbing. NEVER cook higher than medium heat, and don't use cooking sprays.

I received a Christmas of Cuisinart pots and they seem to have a pretty not stick surface up to now.

I purchased from Amazon, when I had a problem Cuisinart replaced my CSK 250. I don't think they would do that if it had been a knock off. Understand, despite claims, non-stick eventually deteriorates regardless of how careful you are with the pan. I use my pan about two times a week, and it still looks new. It will eventually fail, I am ok with that, just don't buy into any non-stick being a forever pan.

Works fine for me. I use a bit of non-stick spray oil and wipe down with paper towel. 6 months now no problem at all......

To BC & VP: The only stainless skillet I recently bought was the Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic.. The whole trick to preventing food from sticking is not to have the pan too hot. Also - have a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend on hand for thorough cleaning. Really works. The pan will look like new. Good luck.

I've had this set for about 2 years now, I think. The nonstick coating DOES eventually come off, so then I just toss it or throw in recycling bin. Given the price, I'm fine with getting nonstick pans every couple of years. I've even had All-Clad nonstick and that comes off, too, so why pay too much for nonstick?Hope this helps. I also like the Circulon pans, too.

I did have a couple of sticks the first few times I used it, but as you use it, it gets to where it won't stick anymore. Althought it's "seasoned", it's not like that "black" cast iron skillet your mom has. It takes time to get it to "black" which is when it is really good!

Wow, I didn't have that until after I used the pan to burn onions for a recipe, and that was after several years. I use that pan as a backup now as it's still very useable. Read your guarantee to see if there's anything about the special use and cleanings, otherwise, I'd try to see if the guarantee would cover it.

I am looking for a non-stick skillet in the 12-inch range. I am all for the Earth friendly options, but most importantly, it must sit flat on a glass top range. The skillet that I am retiring is a Cooks Tools from Belk. It has served admirably for three years, but now the non-stick is breaking down. At this point, it is worthless for frying eggs and it is only going to get worse. I am statisfied with the Cook's Tools from Belk, three years for a non-stick pan that gets used on a daily basis is very good, but Cook's Tool doesn't seem to have a comparable pan in their current lineup. Does anyone know of a largish skillet with a lid that won't worp? Basically, I need some thing with a thick multiclad bottom.

I use mine almost every day since I bought it in February of 2013. I love it, mine has not chipped or peeled. I wash the pan by hand, with mild gentle soap, never in the dishwasher. Is yours still under warranty? If it is, I would call the Zojirushi Company. Explain to them what happened and ask for a replacement pan. Good Luck! Hope this helps. Thanks!

The nonstick coating should last many, many years so long as you follow these tips... NEVER use more than medium heat while using this pot, and only use plastic, nylon, or wooden utensils in it. Don't EVER allow metal utensils to come in contact with the inside surface of this pot! This pretty much goes for all decent cookware. If something does stick while cooking, you can fill it up with water and allow the pot to sit over medium heat. Eventually, what's stuck will soften and peel off. A regular soaking can achieve the same thing, but might take a lot longer. Just don't scrub the pan with an abrasive pad or scouring powder!Hope this answers your question.

Yes that the kind I have. I have heavily used the pan for 5 years now and I just started to notice some discoloration in the center, but I would say it has lasted enough. As a rule I never put the heat higher that 7.

yes. I've had two for 3-4 months and they are still unbelievable. best (nonstick) pans I've ever had. Don't dishwash them, ever.

I don't know and that is a little worrying. My best guess is that non-stick pans are safe to use as long as the surface remains intact and undamaged. Personally, having used this pan I am thinking of buying the traditional copper one

I've had mine for several months now, and it does discolor a little, but it doesn't lose its ability to be cleaned, or the quality of how well it cooks. It's still my favorite pan to use.

hi Sangki,Iv'e had my pan for several months. The handle still seems tight as it should. If yours is loose Iwould exchange it for a new one. To be honest with you its a great pan, cleans easily. Iwould buy another. I think it' the best. thanks jimmy

I agree with Barbara. This is a lightweight pan, not designed for serious use. I've had this pan for less than 2 months and plan to purchase a replacement that is reliable.This one sure can't cut it.

We've had ours less than a year. It still works, though the non-stick is inconsistent. It seems to work better on the setting that cooks the inside more thoroughly.
