Has anyone had an issue with the coating on the cover peeling off? I can no longer use the skillet and am very disappointed. Thank you.

No not at all. When I received mine I rinsed it with very hot water then dried it real good. I've made probably 12-15 pans of cornbread with the skillet and fried chicken and made chili in the dutch oven about 6 times with no problems. After each use I rinse with hot water and wipe a thin coat of canola oil inside each piece... I hope this helps you..

I think they've remedied that problem. I had one of the earlier models (finish flaked off) - the replacement pan they sent had a thicker enamel . Worked fine !

it is from the filament. you should not be putting the underside in water. try to only wash the part that you cooked in and try to avoid getting the filaments wet. It will prolong the life if the skillet. If a little water gets on the underside of mine, I just let it air dry.. but the powdery stuff underneath it is normal.

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.

this was my first cast iron skillet- we used it while camping but I was very disappointed as it rusted after just one use- the paint chipped off and I haven't used it since- I read reviewes on it before I purchased it, some people had mentioned the problem but I figured since the reviews were from so long ago they must have made changes to the product by now, needles to say its in the box in the basement.

I had trouble with the handle too. My husband finally got it on, but the first time I used it the teflon coating started coming off. I didn't bother trying to put the handle on after I washed it .I threw the piece of junk away.

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..

I had an experience about a year ago with a 8" scanpan skillet non stick surface sticking very bad. I called the number on the warranty. I had to leave a message, but my call was returned within 24-36 hours. At first the representative insisted that I had done something to cause it to stick. I was very firm in my argument that I had followed every instructions that had been recommended when cleaning and ensured to let cool b4 cleaning my pan. The representative gave me a couple of suggestions to try. Neither worked to keep the pan from sticking. Finally after being very very firm, I was sent a brand new replacement skillet.

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

I bought this skillet to replace one that warped. I assume it warped from using it on "Hi" heat when it is suggested by the manufacturer no to do this.

I also received mine and I had the same problem, unable to remove the pan. I need to wash it before I start use it.

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!

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck

You need to send it back to the manufacturer. http://www.calphalon.com/Product-Support/Pages/Warranty-Information.aspx They don;t make this pan anymore. They will send you a different pan.

I have used mine numerous times and have yet to have an issue with it. I am in love with these pans!

Honestly I haven't had mine very long. I haven't had any issues so far, just cleaning throughly with dish soap and water. I read of a few comments that Bar Keepers Friend is the best product to retain the shine and intend to use it when the time comes. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I will say I really like my Anolon so far, my problems in the past with other cookware has been the bottoms of the skillets warped and I use a glass top stove so I always had to keep a hand on the handle while stirring. So far so good with Anolon, but time will tell.

I got one of the new rough finished Lodge cast iron pans. Food stuck to it until I honed it smooth with abrasives. Now it's great!
