Regarding the Lifetime Guarantee - Does that include the non-stick surface? I don't mind speding extra money on quality.

I didn't keep the warranty information, but Le Creuset claims that its "forged hard-anodized pans deliver non-stick performance with a seamless reinforced coating that will never chip or flake." I'm happy with the product so far and we've had it for about 2 years. Just follow the care instructions and you should get many years of use out of it. We had gone through several other pans and realized that we needed to reserve one pan specifically for eggs so that it does not get gunky from sautes and meats. I did a little research, and found customer satisfaction highest with Le Creuset non-stick pans. We have other Le Creuset bakeware and cast-iron cookware, so we trusted this brand for durability and opted to spend a little more money on their small non-stick pan for omelets. Hope this helps!

FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY! I actually had to test that when a new pan arrived with defective coating. I paid for shipping it to them, then received a new replacement about 2 weeks later. I was impressed. Good cookware for the price. Use a dish sponge esp made for non-stick pads ( the blue ones).

The surface is durable, but you could damage it if you use metal utensils. I always use something that is safe for a non stick surface and these last me a very long time.

Hey Raellen, it does say that it has a lifetime mechanism warranty, Now that is rather ambiguous, but it is a good company and I have never had any problems with my set.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

It's cast iron so you shouldn't expect a perfectly smooth surface like a coated non-stick skillet. Mine was delivered in excellent condition and I have had no issues with the cooking surface.

Yes, it has a great non-stick surface. I was concerned that it would not hold up when I use the wok at the highest setting (Sear) but so far after a year it still looks good. (Its a little discolored, but no peeling or failure of the coating)

I didn't even realize it has a lifetime warranty. I have a dent in mine, no idea how. Still love the pan though, but maybe I should check on that warranty. Sorry I cant help answer your question, but when I do check into the warranty I will post my experience here.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

Yes, But I would recommend this item because it was out of the box damaged. Even the replacement had damaged Nonstick surface...

Mine came with "Preserve it Naturally" book, 9 mesh tray inserts, no non-stick liners (had to order separately), and 5 year warranty.

The no stick coating is thin and easily scratched on my MSC-400 too. I registered my unit at www.cuisnart.com where you can find out about parts. Mine came with a 3 year 'limited warranty' which covers defective parts. I doubt scratching is covered. It is impressively no-stick and I have not used anything harsher than a terry type dishcloth to clean. I have tried to be very careful cooking and stopped using the browning feature for concern about scratching bones etc. because the coating is very thin. I see outside is getting scuffed from ordinary use. I see in a crock pot cooking books that a removable plastic type liner is always used. That may be the way to go to deal with scratches if warranty does not cover.

Yes. A very high-quality one too. While only the test of time will tell, this particular non-stick feel very rugged and not one of those kind that will start flaking on you or off-gas on high heat. This whole unit is one beautiful beast. My best appliance!

Not sure about the non-stick coating, but I really like it. Beautiful red!!

It's up to you if you want to buy the set. I did & regretted paying so much for something that isn't worth the extra money. From the beginning the outside stainless steel quickly discolors after it is used just a couple of times. The material inside the cookware is like most over Teflon-based stuff. When requesting a replacement, you get interrogated, accused of not caring for the product "properly" with threats that don't ever call again. Go to Wall Mart & get the Tefal set if you need non-sticky surface at $70, 6 times less. I give it 1 star & that's too much. You want pictures? I got them. It's up to you if you want to buy the set.

Yes, but we've had very poor performance from these pans. The non-stick coating only lasts a year or so, and they don't cover that under their "lifetime warranty." Read my review posted 9-1/2-14Bob - NJ
