Has the cooking surface (expanded metal) ever warped or bent from the heat? Looks like thin expanded metal..

Our grate burned out the first summer we had it. We use it a lot and love the size but the grate wasn't made for the heat of a cooking fire. Still looking for where to buy a replacement.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. we can grill on it or remove the top grill and have a evening around the fire. we both enjoy it. and I am sure you will too.

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.

Mine does not sit flat anymore either but I just figured it was from me dropping it! Though, I have never had a problem cooking it it even though it tilts.

So far (a few years now) I have not had any issues with these warping and I use them often on my flat, ceramic top stove. I have had others that did (coated inside so they don't stick).

I have a Thermodor range That has high output burners and have use this pan both on the burners and in the electric oven there is no sign of any warping. I love this pan just as much as my All Clad SST pans.

Have had my set a couple of months. As of now, very pleased with construction and cooking of pots. Haven't noticed any warping. They are very sturdy pots. Would be surprised at any warping.

The one I have is not non-stick. The stainless model has a nice thick bottom and hasn't warped yet. I think if it does you are using way too much heat. Never overheat a non-stick pan.

I've had mine setup over the campground fire pit all season and it has not bent at all even with a roaring fire under it. I raise it to the highest position when I'm not cooking anything of course..

I have a bunch of these pans and have't had much issue with the 10" pans warping, but the 12" pan has warped significantly. I have an electric range and they work great.

No, I can find no difference in heat and the pan seems totally level. Did your last pan slowly develop a high center, or was it there from the beginning? So far, the T-Fal pan is fine. Perhaps after years of use, a pan might warp. Time will tell, but I doubt this will happen.

It is comparable in thickness to my All-Clad pots. I haven't experienced any warping issues.

Not that I noticed. We used it for a couple of hours once and had no problem. I would think it would have to be pretty hot for it to warp.

So far mine is looking great. No sign the heating rods are warping...ive had mine for a year or so.

I was happy to find and buy stainless steel replacement flame/heat diffusers. However, the thin gauge of the metal did not hold up well to the high heat. Mine deformed, but I continued to use them. Didn't see any harm. I think they are on the 2nd year. New grill soon--I'll be more vigilant.

Yeah. It's still a griddle. We used it on both a stove and over the pit while camping. It won't warp or anything. It's pretty sturdy. The only thing is the clean up. It's harder to get the burned on smoke off from a pit as opposed to a stove. Just use some soft scrub when you get home.

I have used mine many times (searing) with no problem whatsoever. If left on high heat long enough, just about any type of pan will warp. That being said, this is a great pan. With minimal care, it should give you many years of service.

NO WAY!!!!!I've used this roaster at least 20 times....even broiled steaks with it. IT is not supposed to warp. The casting on that should hold its shape forever. If it warped it is a manufacture defect and you should demand a replacement.I believe it has a lifetime guarantee.
