I have not had any problems with the coating, but I don't use it very often. I use it about every other month.

not really sure since I have not yet ran into that problem. However, it sounds like the coating is just wearing off.

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.

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 have not had any problems with these pans. You need to be sure they are 100% clean after each use (non-stick sprays leave a residue that is hard to get off) and you should be good to go! Love these little cakes, they do a nice job!

I have used mine numerous times and have yet to have an issue with it. I am in love with these pans!

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

Every cooking surface needs to e constantly seasoned in order to give 100 percent of what you're expecting. I spray mine with Pam or a non-stick spray every time before and even after the final wipe down after cleaning it... never had a problem with it, after so many uses, you'll see wear and tear on it, as with anything...

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 have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

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? :-)

The first one, after about 4 years lost some of "it's non-stick coating" and you could see discoloration above the heating coils. Heating was not as uniform after the same period of time. But it got very heavy use.

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.

I am not a chemist but it seems to me if aluminum were coming from the base metal of the cookware then the non-stick coating should show some sign of damage, wear, loosening, or some other evidence of it. To date mine shows none of this.

I haven't had that problem. The paint on this grill is holding up nicely for me.

No, I have not had a problem with food sticking to this pan. So far, so good.

It's not coated with anything, but I haven't had a problem with food sticking to it or it getting scratched up. It will damage non-stick pans, so be careful.
