    We have had a set of pots & pans with lids for 10 yrs. They will stick if cooking with too high of heat but I love them as they can go in the oven too. I don't put them in the dishwasher & don't let them sit unwashed. The pots have been pitting. So we sent them back for replacement and are still waiting for them to be returned. Were told twice they are on the way but it has been 2 mo.! Customer service needs to be replaced!! Herb & Jean in TN.

    Bought my first Scanpan in '05 (or so). It was the ergonomic style. This pan had what is considered now the old coating technology. I purchased a saute pan (greentek) in '08 and noticed a huge difference between the non-stickability of the pans. The greentek was far superior. I had some blistering on the ergonomic non-greentek pan and returned it in '09 with no questions. What I received WITHIN 2 WEEKS was the new greentek technology. Again, NO comparison! Love the pans!!

    Ok for about 6 months then totally useless as everything sticks to it. Sent it back to scanpan and they said it was an issue with built up residue, they said they would properly clean one half to show how the pan would look with proper cleaning. (as if we don't know how to do the dishes) They managed to clean one small spot around the size of a 20 cent coin. Must have done it with a grinder because i can't budge the build up with oven cleaner, jif metal scourer etc. I have bought better cookware ...

    Had my first Scanpan for almost a year when the coating began blistering and peeling. It was immediately replaced and the new pan has now lasted five years with no problems at all.Excellent products, excellent customer service. Seems like some of the people posting on here have no concept of good cookware. Tefal? Really? Cheap and cheerful is all well and good, but I ended up having to buy a new one every six months - is that value for money?

    I love scanpan. i refuse to use any other pot or pan. It is the greatest i have ever used. The non-stick coating is fantastic, and the cleaning up process is a breeze. I have purchased in total 15 pieces, and am very satisfied. I cant wait to home every night and cook dinner, because it is such a joy to use.

    Anyone wanting good quality cookware should purchase Scanpan. It is amazing. I have used many other brands before and I found these over priced for the low quality pieces they are. Scanpan ...

    My Scanpan Classic skillet is flaking around the curved part of the skillet near the base, as well as a piece in the center of the skillet. Skillet was purchased in 6/2004, so it made it about 4 yrs before the flaking started. I never use more than medium heat for cooking. Have not contacted Chef's about flaking problem. Have heard that flaking will not affect cooking ability or ability to remain stick-free. I'm confused though because their ad says the material is all the way through the skille ...

    Had our scanpan for more than 10 years, Though several were little more than heavy aluminum for the last 7 or so.
    Nice flat base, even heat, handles can go in the oven, easy clean up (straight from hot stove to sink). Just replaced with nice Calphalon stainless. The stainless is at least as non-stick as the scanpan, a bit more prone to scratching, much better/even heating, lighter weight, around the same price.

    Easy clean up - can take from stove/oven to sink and clean with warm water. If by chance you really stick something, like my brother did with parsnips, just soak a short time in water with a little soap and it comes right out! I love the pans - have a whole set.

    I love these Scanpan pans. I wasn't a non-stick believer at first but after more than several years of cooking with them, I now can't live without them. The lifetime warranty is fantastic - I had to return one pan several months ago and they gave me a new one, no questions asked.

    Have had Scanpan cookware for at least 10 years and the saucepans have taken a real beating. Someone left whole peaches boilng on the stove overnight reducing them to a charcoal coating and sticky lumps the next morning. The saucepan was destined to the scrapheap. No matter how much chipping and scrubbing it was stuck solid. We then soaked the inside with washing detergent for a couple of days, boiled it up on the stove. Presto it all peeled off. We scrubbed clean and is good as new except a cou ...

    I think Scanpan Classic is overpriced, buy a tefal instead. Meant to last a lifetime, but the bottom blistered within 2 years. no good really. Not that "non stick" anyway - more like semi-non stick.

    We initially purchased 1 small pot which we adored and consequently bought 3 other pots and a couple of roasting dishes and the wok and a frypan. The pans we used on a daily basis bubbled within 6 months and started to chip despite using low heat and washing carefully. (Even though we were told you could use metal utensils we always treated them with care) The shop replaced these pots for us and we put it down to being a bad batch. However within a year the pots used on a daily basis were in a s ...

    Scanpan Classic pans are pricey but are definitely worth it. I have tried other brands but have found Scanpan to be the best!

    I wouldn't recommend these scanpan classic pans due to the high cost and poor quality. Pans were supposed to be resistant to scratches and chipping and within a year the two smaller pans I used most often started peeling and flaking apart. I even used special utensils for teflon coatings and placed paper towels between the pans when not in use. I expected pans that cost as much as these did to have a better quality to them.

    I don't understand where many of these negative comments about this Classic Scanpan are coming from - even a low heat is suitable for frying with my pan. Why would anyone want to use the full heat? To purposely burn food? The reason other pans need to have full heat is because they are cheap quality and poor heat conductors. My Scanpan has never let me down in 7 years - very surprised that so many claim to be disappointed. Non-stick still completely effective and no scratches.

    I decided to invest in a good quality make and purchase frying pan, large pan sutiable for the oven, griddle pan etc. From day one griddle pan was difficult to clean. The frying pan was less non-stick than supermarket brands and the surface became discoloured and patchy. The oven pan started to blister.
    I returned to shop I purchased from and they were replaced however one of the senior sales people chided me for the condition of my pans, said that I had used very high heat and it was her opinio ...

    Very good frying pan for most usual cooking. I can wash it with soap and sometimes I put it in the dishwasher. It is also safe to use all kinds of utensils with it.

    It was expensive and, whilst I was led to believe it would last a long time, in my experience it quickly ceased to be non-stick. It started to peel and flake within a year.
    I am very disappointed in the Scanpan Classic frypan.
    Now - just over a year old - it is usable.
    I would not recommend this pan.

    These pans do not last. I worked for Scanpan about 10 years ago and have had quite a collection of pans. They scratch easily, and you can not use the dishwasher if you want them to remain nonstick. The "baked in coating" eventually flakes off and reveals a metal base. The amount of pans that get returned because they stick, or peel, or bubble, etc. is astounding. There are boxes and boxes of them daily. Many stores stopped selling them years ago. A celebrity did use and and promote thes ...
