How does the coating stand up for safety? From high heat?

so far, surprisingly stood up to our expectations. This wok is always is always used with high heat and does not seem tp affect the coating. just make sure to onlynuse non anrasive itensils and it'll be alright

We've had the wok for over a year and the coating still looks brand new. We've used it on extremely high heat with no problems. We are very careful to always use bamboo tools so the coating doesn't scratch.

Well, we don't have restaurant grade jet burners that can melt precious metals... just a nice gas burner that heats things up nicely and allows us to cook on the sides, and the base. So far after 7 months, no complaints. the coating seems great and works as expected.

I've cooked with it mostly fried rice about a dozen times ... on high heat ... everything is working fine and I see no signs of the coating coming up. I'm happy with the product!

So far the coating is standing up better then others I have had in the past. We use it a lot and it can take the heat.

I put mine in the oven and it held up great. I am usually afraid to, but it withstands up to 350 so I went for it. No problems at all.

There was no protective coating on our piece. We put several coats of cedar stain/weather-coa on our table for outside use. So far, it has held up well.

We covered our counters with this then (about three weeks later) my wife put down a pot straight out of the oven (425 degrees). It did not cause any damage to the counter. We had used another product from a box store on our first house. It was warped by a hot pressure cooker. This one stands up to its reputation as far as I am concerned

Having been involved in construction for many I can confirm that it is difficult to heat damage Corian in the first place. The oven stands feet about 1" high above any surface this allows any heat to quickly dissipate, ours stands on an older type plastic laminate surface and in three years of using it as our main oven has caused no damage to our worktop.

The Autograph coating is a very high grade teflon analog. From what I could decipher from the various "fact" sheets, it does contain some undisclosed level of PTFE and/or PFOA, but the difference is the manufacturing/application process (there's several layers, and they aren't sprayed on, but cured at high temperatures). However, I've noticed that my cookware is VERY scratch resistant compared to old-school teflon, and I haven't had any peeling or burnt spots with daily use. That being said, I take very good care of my cookware and never, I repeat, NEVER put them in the dishwasher. My wife did it with one of our pans (I almost lost it on her) and it is the only piece that is starting to show faint scratch marks. The other plus side is with the ringed pattern on the bottom, I rarely have anything get stuck to my pans. Therefore, there's no need to scrape or scrub. At most give it a nice long soak in some hot 'n soapy and wipe it down with the yellow side of the sponge. I'm no expert on the chemicals or potential health impact, so don't take my words for gospel, but this cookware set changed me, and I will probably never buy anything but Circulon from this point forward.

Not sure about coating,but I've used mine for at least 10 years and haven't died yet........

I'm unsure of how much heat it can withstand. You can layer it it's pretty sticky.

Aluminim's PROBABLY 'anodized' on the inside--which is a special metal heat+/electro-treatment process used on high-performance aluminum-wares for the past couple decades now. = More durable than coatings because it's still the same, singular material only with the surface having been specially hardened/sealed, and unlike Teflon, it's relatively non-toxic.

I have not had any problems with the coating, but I don't use it very often. I use it about every other month.

I used Krylon's High Heat Max paint and it has held up well. http://www.krylon.com/products/high-heat-max/?gclid=CJDawZWX2b8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA You have to remember to prep the surface first or it won't adhere correctly and you will need to reapply after the first use.

Other posts confirm that the coating is Dupont Autograph2 coating which will provide very good results if you cook without the use of PAM type coatings, cook at a lower temperature and do not try to sear/cook at high heat. High heat will destroy this cookware. Use wooden/nylon utensils. Wash well in warm water and soft washcloth. I've had Anolon Titanium cookware for 11 years and the ONLY piece that ever came into question was an 8 inch frypan that I let get WAY TOO HOT and the telon \coating started to deteriorate which is why I purchased the new frypan set. Treat your Anolon Advanced cookware right and they will provide years of service

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

It seems to be "safe" in that it is not going to peel off like the old Teflon surfaces did with wear. I love the pan and have given it as a gift to a professional chef who also loved the pan.

No. The non-stick coating will survive, but the anodized exterior will eventually wash off. Does not affect useabity, just appearance.

I've used my stainless steel pan on high heat (gas) without any problems. Of course I turn it down once the pan gets hot enough to start cooking. I like this pan but the only issue I have is that (in spite of coating it with olive oil) foods tends to stick causing a lot of scrubbing to wash it up. But since I made a commitment to give up Silverstone finishes (not good for our health) that just something I live with.

I've not had any problems so far. Using extremely high heat might make it warp--
