Le Creuset Toughened Non Stick 3 Piece Saucepan Set

I, like many other reviewers here, have experienced the same problem with these pans. The edges have chipped away quite severely. We're a family of three so I wouldn't say we would create excessive use, and like all expensive, 'quality' products I buy for the kitchen, I always take care of how I clean and store them.I also had the milk pan, but it deteriorated so badly I had to throw it away.I have contacted Le Creuset because a friend reminded me about the lifetime guarantee, but based on the other reviews here, I don't hold out much hope.Very disappointed.

I already have a frying pan and wok in the same non-stick range and know how good these products are. I have been waiting to get a deal on the saucepans as they are very expensive, so when I saw them in a sale at John Lewis I had to dig deep and buy them. I've not been let down with the quality. I do look after them very well and never put them in the dishwasher, so they are still as good as new a few months later. I was concerned about some reviews saying that if you stack them the non stick coating can chip, so I make sure not to do this.Only time will tell of their long term durability.

Bought these three years ago and within a year the coating started to come off where the lid sits - on all three pans. Otherwise the pans are fine and look good. It's as if the way the lid sits on these pans that causes damage, which shouldn't really happen. Like other reviewers I also hand wash these and look after them. I don't plan to go through the faff of claiming on the warranty - from what I gather from otherreviews they'll somehow conclude it's all my fault. I also have the stainless steel signature pans and they're much better. I'd recommend those, certainly not these.
