Has the enamel chipped on yours?

No, it hasn't. I've been totally pleased with it and have seen no signs of chipping. I use it on an electric glass stovetop.

My glass chipped a little but to be honest I dropped it but I haven't tried taking it off yet

I have had mine for over 5 months with no problems although the paint is starting to chip!

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!

Mine has not. Worse case, take it apart once a week and clean it! Great toothbrush.

The corners came chipped on ours, but I've banged it off a few things and haven't added any more. Our pastry cutter hasn't added any scratches.

It is a black enamel. Which I kinda like because you don't have to deal with oxidization or corrosion of the interior. That has often been a reason in the past for me to throw a tea kettle away. So far with relatively moderate family use (about 3 pots of hot water for tea per day) no chips, flaking, discoloration or anything has been seen. And I have checked. All in all I rather like it even though it was a bit unexpected when it arrived.

Not in this case. This cookware is very flimsy. In fact one pot fell of the counter (OK I probably knocked it off the counter) and when I picked it up it was bent so now the lid does not fit. There is not one bit of cast iron in this. And as for enamel? I did not think enamel would fade this quickly and start coming off. I bet it is not enamel but I cannot say that for sure.

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

Did I get a fake? I bought it on Amazon and the paint/metal definitely chips. After a year or so almost every "tooth" has chips that are missing. I can also see the silver metal where the edges on each tooth is now gone. It must have gone somewhere...

Interesting to see so many mention black enamel. I have always thought it was black teflon (non-stick coating). Since I don't like teflon, I would be happier if it were enamel or something inert. I guess the only way to know for sure is to call the company, since I don't want to scratch mine to find out for sure.

I use a little soap and water. I reviewed that it chipped, which it did. But so far that is the only chip and I still use all three.

I have only had mine for 1 1/2 months. I use it every single day, I haul it in my car, its been on a couple hikes, and camping trips. So far no chipping, but I do wash it by hand.

I dropped my orange one on a sidewalk from about four or five feet up and it put a nasty ding and scratched a tiny bit of paint off. This happened right when I got it and I've had it about a year now. The paint looks like it is starting to crack(in the area around where I dropped it, it's fine everywhere else) but it has not yet started to chip or peel. I think it would take years for the paint to start to wear on one of these as long as it doesn't get dropped too hard.

The inside is white enamel. This is basically a knock-off le creuset item, and works just as well as an owner of both)I am unsure about the warranty. I'm really bad about those things. I will say that I've used this MANY TIMES, and even banged it around a bit. No chips in enamel or anything. It's one of my most used pots/pans (along with an all-clad "essential" pan and my copper pots).

That edge is a coating that look to me like black sandpaper. On mine there is a small chip and I can see the metal. No problems
