Nice pan, but the coating has started coming off
919758
I purchased one of these Vollrath frying pans at a local retail store.  The pan did fine for a while, but then the non-stick coating began coming off the center part of the pan. We only used plastic and wooden utensils with this pan, so it is not our fault the coating is coming off. Vollrath only warrants their pans for 90 days, so I am just out of luck.  I wish I had bought a $10 pan from Walmart rather than this one. I hope you have better luck than I did with this rather pricy piece of cookware.

Love this pan but the coating is delicate. Cleans very easily and cooks great. Coating is going strong for 8 months, my other green pans lost their nonstick quickly.  Always hand washed and air dried.

This is the second one of this pan I have purchased.  While the finish is durable, after a year or so it become less nonstick.

I have used this pan for 10 months at least 6 days a week to make pancakes and scrambled eggs. The food started to stick to the pan in the last 4 days.  Always cleaned with warm water and liquid soap the pan.  Now I have to replace this pan since the "ceramic coating" is questionable.

My husband and I received this pan off of our wedding registry. I really needed to replace our very old and toxic teflon griddle and was very pleased to find one with good reviews that didn't poison us. My first impression upon using it was very good. Beautiful non-stick white finish, cooked evenly, extremely easy to clean. Unfortunately, it's about eight months later and I'm not as impressed.

Firstly this is how I cared for the pan:
Only cooked on medium or lower heat
Used butter/oil with food that would need it
Washed with warm, soapy water, and a non abrasive sponge
Stored with felt protection so as not to be scraped by other pans

The once beautiful, white and non-stick pan is no longer. There is an obvious wearing of the coating and it's now sort of a dull beige, particularly in the middle. This morning I tried to make turkey bacon and it instantly stuck to the pan. Honestly, even if this had been a crappy, grocery store, non-stick pan I would have expected it to last at least a year.

I guess we'll get a few more months out of it but after that it will essentially be no better than the old and crappy griddle we replaced.

At the beginning I was super happy, but now the bottom of the coating is coming out, please be careful. Expend more money and buy something more durable.

I have changed my review from 5 stars to 1.  I loved this pan until the coating started peeling off after about a year.  I contacted the seller because there is supposed to be a lifetime warranty.  After 3 emails the seller still has not gotten back to me about the warranty.  So if you want a pan that you have to replace every year, and you don't mind supporting a dishonest merchant, buy it.  Otherwise find something else.

I bought the same frying pan 3 yrs ago and  lasted for over 2 yrs.that's why I bought the same one again. I use it to fry maybe 1 a week. However, the new one lasted only about 6 months. I cleaned it with soft cloth so i have no idea why the coating came off and it sticks now. Need to look or a new brand

I used this pan happily for a couple years of occasional popover baking, but eventually the coating came off and stuck to the popovers. I increased the amount I greased the pan before baking, but even popovers that slid right out got coating on them. Once it starts flaking there's no saving it. Sadly had to throw it out and am still trying to find a pan that is not non-stick.

This slow cooker cooks well BUT, the black coating on the inside started peeling very soon after I bought it and has now virtually peeled off. I cannot use it anymore as it has been leaving little black pieces of the coating in the food. It is an inferior slow cooker as the inside coating should be permanently bonded with the metal of the pot and definitely should not peel off so easily.

I have bought two of them and the non stick coating started coming off within 2 months of daily use for both of them.  I hand washed them with sponge or soft paper towel but still doesn't help.  You get what you paid for.

After only six months occasional use, the non-stick coating started to flake off of one of my two loaf pans.  I will be contacting Cuisinart about it.  It is very unfortunate, because these have been my go-to loaf pans when baking bread, and I would give them 4 stars otherwise as they have a nice weight to them and bake evenly.  The only other major drawback to these pans is that the outsides are quite slippery which makes it impossible to grab a pan from a hot oven with only one hand.

Both pans have been used and cleaned in the same way: bread baking and hand-washed, sometimes with a 30-min pre-soak.

I am no longer happy with this pan.  I have tired of the meticulous cleaning which must be done, and no matter what I do, the surface now sticks, as others have described.  It is a heavy and beautiful pan, and I love having a less toxic ceramic surface to cook on, but it is just not good enough to warrant the cost.  I will soon be discarding it. Very disappointing.

Original comments, formerly a five star review: I have had the 12 inch anodized pan for more than 2 years, and I still enjoy using it.  I have no problems with sticking.  Everything just wipes out.  You have to make sure you get it perfectly clean, and the best way to do that is to wipe it out right away while still warm.  The owner's instructions on the box (at least the one I got) explain that if your pan begins to stick it is because a film of food residue has accumulated on the pan.  Another reviewer mentioned soaking hers with a little baking soda, and that eliminated any tackiness.  I thought that was a good tip.  I use bamboo cooking tools with it, and I haven't noticed any material flaking off after two years of use.

I love this pan and use it almost every day since 2009. This year the coating started to chip off in one spot, and Scanpan customer service quickly responded to my email and is replacing it.

The pan is a perfect size for one or two items. It's downfall is the nonstick coating. With each wash, more and more flakes off. Now I have the perfect size, but I must use a foil liner or nonstick spray.

Knowing this, I'd still buy it.

Pan was great for the first couple of months.  But 6 months in it's already losing its non-stick.  We've treated the pan delicately; wood or plastic utensils, hand washed with a soft sponge etc.  Disappointing.
