How long have you had them? Do they rust? Does the nonstick coating peel?

I've had mine since April. They haven't rusted nor has the coating peeled. Hope this helps :)

8 months, no rust, they are not the best pans ever made but they are certainly worth the price.

We've had ours since April 2014 and have used them several times (have baked 3 cakes since Thanksgiving) There has been no peeling or rust and I wash them in the dishwasher. Of course we only use them for cakes and use plastic utensils.

I've had it for 3 years and use it about once a week. No problems with the non stick coating.

YES! They were fine at first, but it's been 9 months and they're rusted. Looking for a new set now, and won't be buying these again.

I've had mine for about a year. They continue to be the best pans i've ever owned. They are as nonstick as the day I bought them. I am extremely pleased with this product!

I haven't used them yet. But, because their stainless steel cook ware I doubt that they will rust.

Well, they are still non stick, just not Teflon but anodized. The surface does not scratch-even though they say you can use metal utensils, I do not and never put them in a dishwasher either. I have 2 older skillets that are Analon and their surfaces are still perfect and fabulous. I have an electric cooktop, so I mostly start on med-high to medium and adjust from there. They are the most fantastic set of pans I have ever owned, and I've owned bunches! If they are good enough for Top Chef, they are good enough for me! You will not be disappointed.

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 assume they are SS...I have owned my set of pans for over a year now, (LOVE THEM!) and there is no rusting...they clean quite weel...easiest way I found to clean my frying pan, especially if I used a glaze, is to add some water to the hot pan, usually while the food is still in it(meats and veggies), and it cleans all the stuff sticking to the pan and deposits it on the food where it belongs.To keep the pans extra clean on the sides and bottom, I occasionally clean with Bar Keepers

I own other pans with non-stick surfaces made by either All-Clad or Calphalon. I believe these are also referred to as hard anodized surfaces. My pans have lasted for years without peeling, cracking, scratching or otherwise deteriorating. I take care of them by not using metal utensils on them, not cleaning them with abrasive sponges or cleaners and not using spray lubricants for cooking.

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.

YES, they rust. I have had them for 8 months now. They started to rust around month 6.

The literature for Anodized cookware says you can use metal utensils. But I have found that the anodized coatingwill scratch and then become a *sticky* spot for certain foods. I use these *awesome* pans to cook omelettes as a vital part of my catering business...so they can't stick. After hundreds of uses over the last 12 months thesepans remain stick-free, both inside and outside...but I choose to use only non-metal utensils. I have 8 more pansas back-up, but only pulled 2 that got scratched over this last year.

They can definitely withstand 500 degrees. They are cast iron and nearly indestructible. The only thing that survived when my house burned was my cast iron pans. They survived a heat that melted or warped everything else made of metal. After sitting the ashes and rain for a couple of weeks, I rescued them, scrubbed off the rust, reseasoned and reused them for another 20 years. Just don't put a hot pan under cold water. It will crack. If fact avoid water, detergent and scrubbing as much as possible to build up a non-stick coating. I have had great results with this method: I wipe the pan out with a clean damp cloth, put in a dab of coconut oil (Avoid olive or other oils/fats with a low smoking point for seasoning the pan.) and sit it back into a hot oven or on a low burner until it is completely dry and the oil has melted. I then use a paper towel to spread the oil and remove any excess then put it back in a (preferably warm) oven. Over time a layer of carbonized oil will built up on the surface of the pan making it nearly non-stick. Scrubbing will remove this coating and it will take a while to build it back up.

I never read the box, but I've been using them for a couple of years. I've not experience rust, if that's what you're worried about. I gave a set to my friend...no complaints there either.

Mine is stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating to speak of. It's not like a coating you might find on a pan or pot, it's simply stainless steel. With a little oil, I have had no issues.
