Has anyone had a problem with the teflon coating in the pan chipping, pealing or wearing off?

I really haven't had mine long enough for there to be any wear on the finish , but it looks and feels different than any teflon finish I've had . . . looks and feels more like a ceramic finish. So far I love it and make bread two times a week.

I've had mine since December 2012, use it frequently and never had any chipping, finish is like new, as is the machine. I love it for homemade bread, See Walter Sands recipe at King Arthur . com

I have not experienced any chipping or peeling of the interior of the baking pan.

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!

I've owned this unit for a little more than a year and minimally, it's in use 2x per week. I've not had an issue yet with the nonstick coating of the pan or paddles yet, but, I owned a Zo for about 6 years prior to upgrading to this unit. The pan in the old unit needed to be replaced. The nonstick coating started wearing off on the old unit. I've used bread machines for 20+ years. After removing the loaf from the pan, I always fill the pan with water and dish washing detergent, place the paddles in the pan, and soak the unit for ~ an hour, before cleaning it.

I have had no problems whatsoever with the non-stick coating. I always wash my pan and paddles by hand after they have completely cooled. I also never use anything but non-metallic tools and never use abrasive cleaning materials.

No problems with the Teflon but I've been so incredibly disappointed in this machine I really don't use it much anymore :(

I am a chemist and have worked with Teflon for 40 years. Don't understand the concernwith Teflon injestion, since it is will not react with anything other than metallic sodium. As a matter of fact I held the patent for Teflon catheters which are the only type used by hospitals. You could eat this stuff alll day and it would have no effect. Anyone who knows specifics about how it causes damage to a human please give specifics.

No, I haven't experienced that problem, but I don't use the pans all that often. I like them very much when I do; this particular one is great for meatloaf. Maybe try scrubbing the pans with a paste made of table salt and a little water...it's great on no-stick pans!

It's a non issue with this cookware. Main gripe for me is they do not seem to fully clean after cooking. Smells seem to stay stuck on the Teflon? I think that's more of an issue with non stick cookware in general though.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

No, I haven't had any chipping problems. For normal wear and tear, Le Creuset carries a lifetime warranty.

I've used the pan often and for quite a long time and the coating is wonderful- non stick but not teflon type. I'm extremely happy with it.

Have used the pan for frying chicken and bacon many times. No issues with coating - still looks like new. Use it but don't abuse it & it should work great.

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

I have no idea but the coating is awesome and hasn't chipped so far, like Teflon pans I've had.

I've had mine for over one year now. Used it hundreds of times. The nonstick surface has not scratched and nothing sticks. It's far better than Teflon coated pans. A durable and completely nonstick surface.

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.

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

Well, I've had my sets for about 8 years now, but you can't tell I've had them that long; no scratches, no chips, no burnt marks no nothing. I have burnt vegetables to black charcoal inside my pots several times, it peels right off after soaking the pot in hot soapy water overnight. There is no non-stick coating on this line of cook ware. People are mistaken. It's all made together in one piece, made of a special type of material that's non-stick, it's not a coating like Teflon. So there is no peeling or scraping off. I use my skillets, pots on a regular basis. There is a possibility for the pots, pans or skillets to chip, but it's gotta be from something really hard, that caused the chipping and if it chips you can see the metal all the way through. On one of my orders the skillet was chipped, so I sent it right back and received another. No matter what your this line of bake ware is always replaceable with the company, despite when or where you purchased it.

I've used all four pans, and I have not experienced any issues. I really like the fact that the heat is evenly distributed in the pans. What is the trouble you are having specifically?

I have used this pan for along time now almost daily, cooking everything, high heat, meat, veggies, fish, etc. and it's the be most durable I ever owned. It's a bit discolored now at the bottom, but still no sticking or peeling. Have replaced all my other pans with the same product. I love it.
