Chipping How chip resistant is this after years of use? I saw a some more complaints on the Lodge dutch oven about chipping.

Le creuset Ovens are more resistant to chipping (I have a 43 year old one ) but lodge are long lasting - Le Creuset have a lifetime guarantee. There are now many rival companies and most are cheaper but only LC has this guaranteeMore on French ovens from frenchovens.org with comparisons.

I have had several pieces of LC for a few years now...like three years. I take care not to knock them around the kitchen, wash them carefully in the sink, etc, and have not had any trouble with chipping. Also, LC has a great warranty against manufacturing defects.

The chipping on the bottom of the inside of a Le Creuset dutch oven comes from over heating the pan on the stove top, for example -- when searing meat for roasting. I learned this too late for my first piece, but I've since learned that this cookware should never be used on anything more than medium direct heat because it absorbs and retains the heat which causes the cracking and chipping of the enamel. I keep my heat dial on no more than the 5 (out of 11) and have not had any further problems. Regular use in the oven for baking or roasting doesn't cause chipping since the heat is indirect. I use my pot everyday for just about everything except frying eggs. I love it. :) The chipping on the bottom of the inside of a Le Creuset dutch oven comes from over heating the pan on the stove top, for example -- when searing meat for roasting.

Mine has held up wonderfully. I cook on parchment paper, though, because it makes things brown slower and more evenly.

Absolutely! We have had ours for something like a year now and have cooked on it numerous times. We've not had any problems with paint chips, or rust or anything like that. It really us a great investment.

Have used mine for years with no problem. It takes up to 1 minute per slice. Did you set it for too much time? I like it so much that I am on my second one after chipping the side of my first. Full control of crispness is possible by checking as it nears the end of cooking.

Gee, I don't know, never had that happen. It's made of cast iron..... and the mfg co (Lodge) coats their ironware with an oil and bakes it on. You might want to check with Lodge (online maybe) and see what they tell you. Send them a photo of the edge you are concerned about, maybe.

I have never had a problem with chipping. I use them daily and put them in the dishwasher after each use. They are sturdy and withstand lots of use.

I don't know if they're technically chip resistant, but I've had no problems with chips since I've been using them.

This Dishware is oven and dishwasher safe. I use it for my "everyday" set. Have had no problem with chipping.

Ive only had mine for a few weeks, but i left mine in the oven on accident for 20+ minutes at 350 and it didnt hurt it. I put mineral spirits on mine (stuff i had for my rolling pin) after the oven abuse. My label didnt have any maintenance instructions so i cant say for sure. Ive whacked mine with a big cleaver and it leaves some marks, less if you cut across the grains of the wood. Im pretty tuff on stuff! If mine gets too beat up, id buy another. Definitely happy with this purchase.

I am still on my first oven and have had it for over four years. I bought another one for my niece. I love this oven. So far o problems.

Never have had any problem. It has been in my oven for a couple of years. I use high temps and low temps. I do not use my oven on "self cleaning". The very hi heat will burn out the "boards" on a touch type oven. I remove the liner and use oven cleaner. I love it.

I have used mine for a couple of years. I have not experienced any issues. I am a decent cook but by no means a professional.

The leaflet I got with mine says it is made in the USA. I have had over a year and use it all the time for searing and sautéing and a lot of other stuff that I don't need to get my large Lodge cast iron dutch oven out for and absolutely love it. No chips no dings no problems!!!! I'm not sure if others just don't know how to cook or take care of their cookware but I highly recommend this!

The lining usually will chip if you use metal utensils while cooking and harsh scraping cleaning pads... I use nylon cleaning pads, and wooden and/or hard plastic utensils when using this cookware

been a good while since i had it. I didn't use it much honestly. It got rusty so bad in a short time that I just threw it away . I just went back using the old conventional put chips in some aluminum foil. There are other one out there but i haven't tried them.

Mine began to chip non-stick finish after only a few uses. Don't remember if I threw it away or sent back for refund. To season pan, pour a tablespoon vegetable oil in pan and spread fully with a paper towel.

I've had one of these knives for about a year without it chipping off. They are made really well. I did attempt to use one of them to chip through some frozen solid spinach one time and the coating did slightly chip. I don't know what it's made of but they work and don't rust
