Have you used this machine long enough to say whether the non-stick coating comes off? Is that a common problem?

I've had it for 3 years and use it about once a week. No problems with the non stick coating.

I've used this extensively for about 9 months and only as directed - the given spatula and for cleaning a soft sponge. So far no problem, the coating is as new. Some have reported it comes off after time, but the instruction manual says even if it does come off it won't affect its performance. Also they sell replacement bowls if needed.

Don't think it's a non-stick coating - I use it to bake bacon and the bacon sticks somewhat in the places where it's well-done.

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

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 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.

Hey, I've had it just over a year. I use it maybe once a month or two, since I make a big batch and freeze them. It still works like new, no problems, but I can't say how it would do under harder use. The only concern I would have is the durability of the coating, but it's been fine so far.

No, I haven't experienced that problem, but I don't use the pans all that often. I like them very much when I do; this particular one is great for meatloaf. Maybe try scrubbing the pans with a paste made of table salt and a little water...it's great on no-stick pans!

I do not know about the coating - it does not appear to have a coating when you look at it and I always grease/and or grease and flour my pans before adding the batter so I really am not bothered by whether or not it is non-stick as there has been no problem with that. I do wash all my cookware by hand instead of using the dishwasher - it makes them last longer and gets them cleaner.

I've used the pan often and for quite a long time and the coating is wonderful- non stick but not teflon type. I'm extremely happy with it.

The one I have is not non-stick. The stainless model has a nice thick bottom and hasn't warped yet. I think if it does you are using way too much heat. Never overheat a non-stick pan.

I have had my pans for over a year now and have not seen anything coming off the surface. I would contact the manufacturer if your concerned about it leaching.

I've had and used my Earth Pan for over 6 months, used the heck out of it, and so far, it's really been a very good quality, almost 99% non stick issues! yet, it's only been half a year, so we will see if it stands up and continues to be non stick for a long period of time, or it basically loses it's non stick capabilities.

We haven't used it much, so I don't know if the coating will wear off. The pan is fairly easy to clean but the rack is more difficult. It takes a fair amount of scrubbing, but does clean with some effort.

There seems to be some kinda of non stick coating inside that makes cleaning easier. Been using it for few years no problem.

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.

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

We've had this unit for about 6 months. We've had no problems with the coating. It stays cleaner easier than the old unit we replaced.
