For anyone who has owned this for approx 6 months &amp; uses it a lot -- how has the nonstick surface held up for you? The Foreman nonstick is poor.

Works fine for me. I use a bit of non-stick spray oil and wipe down with paper towel. 6 months now no problem at all......

We have a couple of small imperfections in ours. The pan performs beautifully but is NOT scratch proof just non-stick.

I use it often. It is a great pan. There is one thing... you need to clean the corners very well to keep the buildup out. I am happy with it and can recommend it.

I had to get rid of the pan when the surface started to stick.. the pan out last any other previous non stick pan I bought. I gladly bought another one.

I'm surprised a cast iron skillet had that problem! I have not had an issue with mine since I got it in December. I even used it in the oven a. It's been even cooking for me since the day I've used it.

This little pan works wonderfully, but is definitely not the quality of my higher end pans. Wash it by hand, not in the dishwasher, and it should last. The non-stick coating will otherwise come off easily. And, be careful not to overfill with water, or you will be hard boiling, not poaching.

I usually soak mine, over night with dish soap, but I have notice that has time and use wear and tear, its getting more dificult to clean, even after spraying non-stick spray before cooking.

I have used it for a few months and it has not warped. I do wash it by hand and it is easy to keep clean. I also have a gas range which I know can be a little harder on pans than electric and it's been fine.

I've not had this problem with mine and I've had it for awhile now. I've found it to be a good, high quality item. That said, I don't cook anything higher than medium heat.

i have used the 69610 for 5+ years now and expect another 20 out of it. it's designed for temperatures at or below 500 degrees. don't know much about the other one beyond what can be found on amazon. sounds as though the non-stick surface has a different formula. why would that make it $8 cheaper? who knows.

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.

I've only had this only since May, I think.I find that if you cook on low heat foods do not stick. But on slightly high heat like medium-high ,it does stick .It does have a nice smooth ceramic surface which is easy to clean.I have no idea how long the non-stick surface will work

I haven't as of yet. It cleans so easy on inside. I wipe out excess with paper towel and I've never had anything to stick. Don't need to cook at hugh temps either...good heat conductor; cooks even. The outside is a little problematic.

I've used this skillet many times and I love it. I have not heard of thee pans warping. I do not put any of my pans in the dishwasher. I have never had a pan that warped before.

Honestly I haven't had mine very long. I haven't had any issues so far, just cleaning throughly with dish soap and water. I read of a few comments that Bar Keepers Friend is the best product to retain the shine and intend to use it when the time comes. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I will say I really like my Anolon so far, my problems in the past with other cookware has been the bottoms of the skillets warped and I use a glass top stove so I always had to keep a hand on the handle while stirring. So far so good with Anolon, but time will tell.

Mine is for sure not completely non-stick. But it tends to get that way when inlaws come and SCRUB it. Maybe cook a few rounds of bacon on it? :-)

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!
