How long has the pan remained non-stick? Does it lose effectiveness over time?

Still recommend, it's a good pan, but yes has lost some of its non stick effectiveness over time

I love the pan/s. I have now purchased three different sizes of this pan. They are great. You will only have a problem cleaning them if you cook with the heat on high. Never cook with the temperature on high. Never use any metal spoons, forks, etc. I have had these pans for several months now, and remain non-stick.

I have owned them for over a year and they are still working great.It has to be the Gourmet type.All companies have a less quality style.Purchased them for my wife and she is still raving about being the best pan she has ever,even 10/22 she said it again.That is the truth,plus we just heard on the cooking channel that Tramontina made in Italy,are quality pans.

I have not had mine for long. However, the directions say to just reseason it.

I've only had mine for about 6 months, but I use it almost every day. I've had no problems at all with the non-stick. It's just as easy to wash as ever. But I am careful to not use it on the highest heat setting and I do not put it in the dishwasher.

We've used a Tramontia Ceramic pan for about 2 years and and is still non-sticky

Yes it actually does in my experience after few months of use but it remains very easy to clean. An egg won't really slide anymore while cooking but would clean easily after with a jet of water

I bought a 12 inch aluminum model with non stick surface. I expect the non stick surface to last about two years and then will have to replace with another. That has been my previous experience. The life of the surface determines the life of the pan.

We've had ours less than a year. It still works, though the non-stick is inconsistent. It seems to work better on the setting that cooks the inside more thoroughly.

I've had this set for about 2 years now, I think. The nonstick coating DOES eventually come off, so then I just toss it or throw in recycling bin. Given the price, I'm fine with getting nonstick pans every couple of years. I've even had All-Clad nonstick and that comes off, too, so why pay too much for nonstick?Hope this helps. I also like the Circulon pans, too.

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.

I didn't realize there were different coatings, so I can't really answer your question. But, I've used this pan probably 4-6 times a week for 3 months. I stack it with other pans on top and I can say even though I use non-metallic tools, my husband is not as good about it and the coating still looks pristine.

I've had my pan for two years and it still works well. You just have to make sure to preheat the pan for 5 mins minimum before adding any food.

The only way the non stick coating will come off is if its scratched off, using metal knives or forks, over wooden spoon, etc, and cleaning with a steel wool pad. I have had mine for over a year now, cooked many pot roasts, even used a metal knive a few times, oops, but still have all of my coating in tact, its even been run through the dishwasher. Nothing lives forever but this is a great product plus it has an actual temperature setting and not that preset digital stuff you get with others.

I haven't any problems with it, though it's not non-stick. Read somewhere that one good technique is to rub a little oil on the pan, shake in some Kosher salt and rub it in, then oil slightly again. Things sure do not stick with that. They suggested wiping it dry after, rather than washing it, to avoid needing to re-treat, but I'm not so keen on that notion. I really like my Cuisinart cookware.

I have had mine for approximately 3 months and I use it two to three times a week. The non stick is working good. I hope this helps. Im waiting to see how long it will last. Thanks Jerry

Used my non stick twice and have had no problems with sticking. You do have to spray cooking oil

It does not have a "non stick" surface. I would say with a little oil, butter - there is no sticking. It took some getting used to, as our prior set was non stick, but overall, these pans will last far, far longer. Non stick coatings tend to flake, scratch or even peel off over time. Hope that helps.

We have a glass cook top and we bought this new pan because our old farberware pan DID warp but after over 30 years of use. The last 10 years on the glass cook top. We've had this one about 1 year and it is still fine.

I've been using this pan for about 2 months now and have not experienced this issue.

I've had it over a month and use it daily. So far, it's still very easy to clean and hasn't stained. The instructions recommend you season it before you use it, so, maybe that helps prolong the non-stick properties.

I've had mine for about three years. It usually doesn't stick, however, occasionally it will. Two things I have found helpful to prevent sticking are: making sure I don't put too much baking powder in the mix (your mix has a lot more effect on the stickiness than you would think it would), and occasionally spraying it again if I am making a lot of waffles. I like to use Trader Joe's coconut oil spray.

I've had mine for a year and I use it at least once a week. If you take good care of it...it will last a good long time I think. Mine is still like new and is one of my favorite pans.
