This set has a wonder non-stick surface however, if you would like for it to last more than a year I would choose a different brand. What they don't tell you in the care instructions or on the website is that it can only be used under low or medium heat or else it will be rendered useless within a short time. Their warranty does not cover anything so it's not even worth trying. This set also can't be washed in the dishwasher per the care instructions. It's pretty much a worthless piece of junk at this point. I'm including the email that was sent to me about the warranty so that everyone knows how worthless it is: From date of purchase, T-fal guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes any damage resulting from improper use and care. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal. We will be happy to provide a warranty evaluation. Please review the following explanation of issues that can occur with non stick cookware and potential ways to resolve them. Most instances when the non-stick coating has lost its' non-stick properties, it is due to overheating of the pan. Cookware with non-stick coatings should be used on low to medium heat settings. One indication that your pan has been overheated is that your non-stick has turned a brown or rusty color. Overheating of the non-stick coating will cause the non-stick properties to break down. As a result you will find that foods are sticking to the cookware. Overheating voids the warranty. You may try to clean the non-stick coating with a mixture of baking soda and mild dish detergent using a soft cloth. Depending on the degree of overheating, this may help return some of the non-stick performance. If there are digs, nicks or scratches to the non-stick coating from the use of metal utensils or sharp knives, this will affect the performance of the non-stick and will void the warranty. Wearing away of the non-stick due to use of abrasive cleaners or scouring pads is not covered under the warranty. If the non-stick appears to be flaking, but you do not see metal underneath, this may be due to residual oil build up on the pan. Oils hide within non-stick surfaces in places where they cannot be removed simply with soap and water. These oils burn during subsequent uses and create a layer that food can stick too and also can flake off. Sprinkle a bit of the baking soda into your pan. Add warm water and dish detergent to make a soupy solution. Use a soft cloth, plastic-looped scrubber, or a food-grade nylon scrubbing brush to agitate the debris in a circular motion. Rinse well with cold water and dry thoroughly to avoid spotting.
