First : impossible to put this cookware in the dishwasher => it rust for sure. Second : all the handles become too hot... in 2014, inacceptable !!! Third : impossible to sear the meat... it sticks, tear and fraying

Very disappointed with these pans. Bought just before Christmas last year but wish I'd seen these reviews before I bought them. Although the non-stick coating is fine (so far), the pans have discoloured badly on the outside. Never mind 10 months old they look 10 years old. Can't believe Jamie Oliver is still putting his name to these pans. Complained to Tefal direct and was told that whilst they say they are "dishwasher safe" apparently they are not "dishwasher proof" - clever word play!! When they returned my pan that they had inspected they enclosed a new care leaflet - pretty sure this has been updated to advise that they will discolour if washed in a dishwasher - pity I can't find my original leaflet but if anyone has an old leaflet pre Christmas 2012 I'd like to see a copy!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Perfect size shape and function. However, after 2 years (not heavy) use, having never been put in the dishwasher, or scoured, the tefal coating is peeling off. So much so that it cannot be used as it is now a health hazard. Truly disappointed. Cost very definitely not justified.

Having got this kit I must say the we are very please with it, the non stick pan are beautiful to see, great to handle and you can really see that they are top quality. We also bough the three piece stainless steel pan set which was just under £50 and I must say that the quality is amazing, Tefal have always been the best in this and this time are just as good.

I bought a set of Hot stuff pans about 6 months ago. Why Jamie Oliver would put his name to this item is beyond belief. The lids and handles of these pans are so dangerous because they get so hot. The handle gets too hot for you to be able to take the lid off. The pans were quite expensive so why after only 6 months do they look old and tatty. Come on Jamie you're a great chef so why put your name to something that is dangerous and not fit for perpose.

AUSTRALIAN LAW. Without proof of purchase, receipt or visa transaction - GUARANTEE OF THE NON STICK COATING does NOT EXIST. THEY FIND THE LOOPHOLE IN THE LEGISLATION to their benefit in negating any responsibility of the Lifetime Guarantee on the non stick surface. Instead of observing good Marketing Principles, they hide behind the 'proof of purchase legislation'. I, on the other hand, have a frying pan, with no proof of purchase: I personally feel as though I am being accused of improper acquisition, therefore they have no obligation to my complaint. Since my last email stating their lack of being Good Corporate Citizens, standing by their Guarantee, lack of good Marketing Principles and asking for this email to be sent to Senior Personnel, I have not received a reply. SHAME SHAME SHAME. The non stick surface has NO lifetime guarantee and the company Tefal, will find any reason to opt its responsibility to stand by their product, even accusing and disbelieving customers when they have tried to return their product. My case, no receipt or proof of purchase - response from Tefal - forget it, and now no email.

Like every single other review on her for Jamie Oliver pans, I too am pretty disgusted at the state they are in after just a couple of years. The anodised coating looks like I have been at it with an angle grinder and the non stick coating is coming off every one of them. I have never used anything but wooden utensils and never put them in a dishwasher. Every time I use them now I get black bits in the food, and afterwards I have to soak them for ages to get the food off the bare metal where the coating has come away. This is a very poor show and I shall be writing to tefal and letting them know how I feel. I don't expect to get very far with them, but I will be pointing them to this review site and demanding a response. I'll let you know how I get on...

I bought these pans when I moved into my new house 6years ago. Within 6 months the lining of the pan had started to peel and black bits were in my food every time I used them. I never use metal equipment on my pans, only silicone or plastic and I cared for them as I was instructed. What do I do with them now??? A complete waste of money, they weren't cheap, and I have had to replace all of them. The royal Worcester plates are showing sighns of black patches coming through them too..... Jamie, you should put your power behind this and make sure that your customers are served with courtesy in the manner they deserve. I wish I had read these reviews first!!
