What kind of care do these Earth Pans need

I suggest you not overheat them or scrub them with very rough material. If you do not do the first you should not need to do the second. These are my favorites and no problems. I read the other reviews then went back to check all my pans. No smell and one slight stain which I cleaned. I'm a Happy Cooker.

My initial review on this stuff holds true. They are NOT non-stick and I regret buying them. I am intrigued by another person's review about olive oil and high heat. Maybe that why my skillet failed miserably.

Don't buy them. Less than a year after I bought my pans, the protective coating started coming off. I had pieces of metal in my food. I switched to ceramic pans.

No special care-great pans! We do wash all pans by hand- not the dishwasher

With proper maintenance, these pans will last a lifetime. There is a learning curve with these pans though. Once you get the hang of them though, they will be your favorites. They require the same care as cast iron pans. They need to be cleaned and dried immediately. No soaking, dishwashers, no soap. And is very heavy. But it is my favorite. It stays on my stove.

It is recommended to use the same care as with non-stick pans. I use melamine utensils as rubber or plastic utensils always tend to melt.

I have several of the USA pans and the coating does not come off if you follow the care directions for washing. I don't use a metal utensil either on them. They are excellent pans for baking.

Short answer. Yes. We have only had them for 6 months but so far they are the best pans I have ever had. I have never needed to use anything other than a plain sponge to clean the cooking surface.

Simply wash with warm soapy water to get rid of handling and shipping germs etc.These pans are better than my Tfals ever were.I accidently left one on the burner after scrambling eggs and simply ran water on it and the dried burnt eggs just slid off.

Here's what I remember from mine: Don't use any abrasive cleansers or scrubbers (not needed anyway because things don't stick), don't plunge the hot pan into cold water, use medium heat or less, and don't store pans on top of it unless you use the pad they provide. Oh, and no metal utensils to be used inside the pan. It's holding up very well for me - a couple of months now and no signs of wear.

I don't know because I've had these pans for a few years andnothing has ever stuck. After cooking, I allow the pan to cooland then wash it by hand with hot, soapy water and a non-scratch nylon scrubby. No problems and my pans still looklike the day I got them. Just a hint - you don't need touse high heat with this cookware as once it heats up itholds the heat very well and a lower heat setting can beused with optimal results.

I think there are Teflon sprays that you can buy but properly cared for, the coating in this pan should last a very long time. It is so slippery that it should never need to be scrubbed only washed with a dish rag.

I have had two for two years and haven't had that problem. I do take care not to store with other pans on top of these.

It is not recommended to use metal with these pans. They would scratch. I have only used nylon and my pans have held up well.

Unfortunately, from my own experience I just a have some 6 months using the pan set, but the person that recommended me this purchase, refered the pans as the only ones that could hold up over time, and if proper care taken would non-stick after a year

I have had my pans for about 12yrs and I have never seen anything like that. How weird. I think I would replace them so the power stuff wouldn't get in my food. You have to admit they are awesome pans! Sorry I couldn't help.

Best to hand-wash them, and not to scrub the nonstick surface with anything abrasive. Unfortunately, the coating will wear out eventually, but with care, it should last for years.

I don't think they are. I had wash mine. Also, if you use any kind of pam or cooking spray in them, even once, the non-sick goes away and they become difficult to wash with out scratching. They are okay pans. If you have time to take care of them right they will work fine.

I don't know about guarantees but the set is performing beautifully for me. Just use plastic spoons and other items for taking out eggs or veges. Wait til it cools before cleaning.

yes they need not to be seasoned!!! my advise to you is to use cooking spray on pans before each use. helps with clean up.
