Some reviewers are complaining about pitting and flaking. Is this a common problem?

I've used mine only twice: 450F for 40 min then hand wash. Still looks new.

I have gone from stovetop to a 500 degree oven several times with no problems whatsoever. I do handwash though, I've never put it in the dishwasher.

Yes I have noticed that as well. The ones on mine are not real bad but they are there.

We haven't had any such issues, but to be honest, this pan doesn't see all that much use.

I was about to order this pan and saw this question. I have about ten Cuisinart MultiClad pots and pants that I've purchased over an eight year period and have not experienced any issues to include the metal. I've gone from cooktop to 475 degree oven with some and have had no problems of any kind.

I purchased this model before Christmas. After one use (cooking prime rib on Christmas Day), we noticed that the interior bottom surface had pitted in several spots. It appears that the shiny stainless surface had just "flaked" off. We liked the pan otherwise, and it appeared of good quality and weight, but sadly, we had to return it. Not sure at this point whether to try again on the same model and hope we don't get a "lemon," or look for a different brand. I'm leaning toward a different brand as it appears that that the poor quality is a systemic manufacturing problem, as the pitting of the stainless surface was noted by other reviewers.

Used mine only twice before I returned it. The first time I roasted a turkey and then used the drippings to make gravy. Worked very well and cleaned up easily. A couple of weeks later I roasted a chicken and again used the drippings to make gravy. After I washed it I notices 2 or 3 areas where the finish was worn off. I had only used a wash cloth and Ivory Liquid to wash it. Nothing at all abrasive. The chicken was stuffed with lemons, so I don't know if the acid caused the problem. If it did, then there is a major problem with the finishing. In any case I immediately returned the pan.

I haven't seen it. Perhaps it is temperature dependent, or with broiler use.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

Ck for any corrosion around contact points. If any found, I recommend a professional opinion\cleaning. Also consider, new battery may maYou may have gotten a lemon! Also consider having it tested for free at Best Buy.Good luck!!

I haven't had any issues with bubbling or other type defects with Tramontina. What I did receive from my Amazon purchase is a couple of warped pieces in my set. Not fatal flaws but I do expect quality to be good.

I have not have that problem (yet). We normally leave it with some water in it (probably a bad habit) but we normally use it on a daily basis and we do replace the water before boiling it. When we are away for a few days we empty it and dry it by hand just in case. I had the problem you mentioned (white spots, not rust) with my previous one.

I use my quite a bit. I have no trouble with it dripping or sputtering. In fact, I almost did not purchase the iron because I read a few reviews about dripping and sputtering. But I am glad I did not listen to the reviews. Like any steam iron, it must be at the temperature you have set it at or it makes a loud swish of steam noise. But there is really no reason to attempt to use the iron before it has heated to appropriate temperature because it heats so fast. So far I have not complaints.

I haven't noticed any pitting of my bluestone, but I only started using this product last year, so I can't offer an opinion about the long-term effects. In general, I think the product does a fine job.

Did this happen after using glisten? If so that would be odd. If not, probably hard water, run glisten through the cycle, make sure the water in the dw is hot, then try a load of dishes. you should see improvement. I keep Jet dry in my dw too because I also have hard water, but haven't had the problem of white surface on my plates or glasses since I used glisten. I run this through my dw once a month.

Sorry to hear that Jill. We are on our 4th box and the texture has been fairly consistent. What I have noticed is that the size of the "flake" might be dependent on how much the box was adjutated during shipping.

Wow! Sure it's not flakes of "burnt stuff"? Mine isn't... Sounds defective and I'd return!

I haven't noticed any flaking off of the color from the fire pit. The way the stone looks it's hard to tell if flaking is occurring or if that is the way it is designed. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Maybe you got a defective one that needs to be returned.

This normal. Most of the reviews complain of it, but read the packaging. It suppose to be covered in the white flaky film. I shake mine over the garbage can and get rid of the excess white flakes. No mess!

Yes...I wrote about this a bit in my review. The same thing happened with a previous Rowenta I had as well. Something in the way they manufacture it or they do some sort of testing in the steam function, results in these white flakes coming out when you first start using the iron with steam. This will go away after a few days or week or so of use. Regarding the leaking, I experienced significant 'spitting' of water with the auto-steam turned on, when the iron would steam and big drops of water were coming out. I didn't have water just leaking out of the sides or anything, which is a problem a lot of defective irons have. But if yours is just "spitting" with the steam, this problem should eventually get better as well after a week or two. However, I've had mine for a few months and it hasn't gone completely away, but it doesn't happen that often or the water drops are small. Still, kind of disappointed with that as my previous Rowentas have not done this. Overall I still think a good iron though so far...you should probably try holding on to it for a bit and see if it gets better.

Mine had no defects. I would call the manufacturer to find out if it is cosmetic as I wouldn't want anything going into my family's food.

I haven't had a problems with it... nothing flaking off or affecting smell or taste... beyond that, it's hard for me to comment.

I agree...I used to get streaks if I didn't use the printer for a month or so,(I only use it for photo printing.) Now I make it a habit of printing something every week. I don't have to clean the printheads and no streaking.
