Does the coating come off with normal use or only when used for searing?

The only issue I have had with the coating is when I was running late from work and asked my 14 year old to shred the meat. I should have been more specific because she used 2 metal forks and did it in the pan. Filled with scratches during it's second use. However I have had no further issues with those scratches getting worse. Have seared meat in it a couple times without any issues.

Ditto - no issues with loss of coating. The searing feature is fantastic!! I LOVE this slow cooker!!

I have used it for searing and with normal use often. The coating has not come off. I think it's a great product!

The coating on mine has come off on the sides, like where the top of the juice is typically. This is after about 5 years of use. Am looking for a replacement .

Mine lasted one use before the non-stick coating came off. I returned it. If you want it to last, don't use it and just continue to look at it.

No, there's no coating. It's very shiny stainless on the spatula end but the handle has more of a buffed surface. Now just to let you know that this turner is on the small side but it is not a toy as someone suggested! I use it all the time with my smaller fry pans but works for larger things too. This was one of my better purchases because there is nothing to break, burn or destroy in any way. It's heavy duty and all one piece construction. There is no downside to this product. But, yes food does get on it and must be cleaned off. That is just common sense. It does not have an ergonomic handle but you really don't need it for an item like this unless you have arthritis or something like that. No, there's no coating.

We had to use near boiling water and steel wool to scrape it all off. It took a long time and was kind of a pain, to be honest, but is totally worth it. We then seasoned the pan with organic coconut oil and then a second time with bacon fat, and it is now my new favorite cooking surface.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

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

I had a bit of oil on mine and I just burned it off. I think it is there to stop it from rusting while in storage.Hope you like it, I love mine.

It has no coating, but comes clean easily with "Barkeepers Friend". I just soak after use and it comes clean easily after dinner even if I accidently burn something.

I would be careful and tread lightly with an SOS pad. Probably it wouldn't hurt, especially if you didn't exert a lot of pressure, but if you scratch the surface, that area will always be a sticking point, as well as a place for rust to start. I've never found an SOS to be necessary. I always grease, butter or spray my pan, and if something does stick, I let it soak a little while, then use a plastic scrubber, and it always comes right off. Happy roasting!

I purchased this same model and it does NOT have a non-stick coating. It is bare carbon steel ready to be seasoned and used.

I haven't had any issues with it coming off. I believe the use the same kind of paint that's used on BBQ's.

we had to really really scrub for a long time to remove the coating before seasoning did you do this? It had a non-stick surface that needed removing - try this first

I used proper utensils and second use the coating came off...unsafe to eat from that coating

There are no coatings on it. It's plain black cast iron. I seasoned mine three times before I used it and nothing stuck and it cleaned up easily.

I have 2 Evolve grills and have had no issues with the non-stick coating. I only use the provided utensils and wash it in the sink (not the dishwasher).

been using it for the last three months and have not had any trouble with the coating, do not run too hot for food tho.. cook slow and not fast.. the food can stick when too hot.... makes great omlets for two.

It is not a teflon coating, it is procelein on steel and will stick. Usually easy to clean up but I let a beef stew boil dry and it was extremely difficult to get off.
