Ceramic started peeling on first use. Will this continue?

I would return it and ask for a replacement. We have NEVER had ours peel. Sounds like a minor defect. Best of Luck.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

It shouldn't peel at all. I've had mine for 2 months and it's been fine. I'd ask the manufacturer to replace it if it were me. Sorry that happened to you.

I returned mine the day i received it because it already had a chip in the ceramic top upon arrival. I was hoping it would have been a good product to keep and use too. Very disapppinting.

I have never had this happen to me. That sounds like a defect. This grill can handle high heat very well. Maybe you should return it?

Had ours for a couple of months now used it 5or6 times no problems.Send it back!

I have not had this issue. Did you "season" it according to the directions prior to its first use?

the ceramic on ours did not peel but scratches badly-even when washed with a smooth cloth. The instructions state to wash stains with baking powder and that scratches the ceramic so I would'nt recommend it.

I would send it back. Mine has not peeled but it is not very stick resistant.

To be honest, I think Giani's topcoat needs improvement. What I did where it happened on my countertops was use a minwax clear polyurethane coating. First you sand the area that is peeling with 600 grit sandpaper, then apply the new polyurethane coating. It is much more durable than the one Giani gives with their kit.

according to WearEver, just the first time of use. washing it in a mild detergent with a soft sponge shall also keep the ceramic in excellent shape. don't ever try cooking anything on high heat as for many foods, you don't need it. The bottom of this cookwear is the only problem as it changes color from use as it is harder to clean with the groves in the bottom of the pans. you will see a "brown" color appear after some useage on an electric stove.

Sounds like this cooker has a "coating" on the ceramic bowl; not so sure this is a good idea either. Most non-stick coatings are unhealthy.

I always use the soft side of the sponge so I don't scratch the surface. BUT!!! Two of my pans have the protective coating peeling off even though I have been SUPER careful with these pans. I don't think they are a good product; I won't buy them again.

I don't know if it stay on the ceramic or stop it from scratching. Maybe try the round felt stick ones.

I turned mine on a little too high once and noticed that the spatula (which came with the cookware set) melted a little on the surface. I couldn't get it completely off when I washed the pan. I think it has worn off now, but I wasn't thrilled about that because I don't really like using plastic to begin with. This is the ONLY problem I've had so far with this cookware.

I have this knife and 3 others that have the "coating" - none of them have peeled at all, even after I sharpened them which takes the color off a tiny bit of the very edge. Never put them in the dishwasher, always hand wash & dry. Maybe you got a defect?

i dont think so since all pieces are ceramic. see if you could return for a new one

I have a ceramic cooktop and it didn't affect the cooktop. However, anything above medium heat did sage the pot. There is now fine cracking along the bottom edge, about an half inch above the bottom along the side. Not a huge visual blemish, but noticeable. I had contacted the manufacturer and asked if it would be safe and they said it would. I'm considering a return if the problem worsens at the next use. I will say they were very helpful the first contact and i don't anticipate problems. Might just be my unit? Hope this helps!

I wouldn't recommend this brand for any use at all. It was one of the worst things I ever bought. The non stick surface peeled off on the first use. I had two of the pans and the same thing happened to both.

I believe the enamel coating inside the pan prevents that from happening, but you should email Le Creuset and ask them about that for proper confirmation.

Hello Irene,I can't speak from a professional nor scientific standpoint, but personally I don't care for the way that teflon coatings peel and flake-off over time... So I made the switch to ceramic and love it! I no longer have to worry about my cookware losing its 'nonstick' appeal rapidly.

No. It started peeling after one use. Maybe a cast iron material would work better.

No. The ceramic is unfinished on the bottom. The set has been fabulous. I have used them several times a week in the oven & microwave. A great bargain for the price and it looks lovely on the table. I will be using it again this Thanksgiving for the turkey and dressing.

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck
