My pan arrived with a teeny defect (2mm) in bottom inside. On non-stick bakeware is this just cosmetic or could it be dangerous? Should I return it?

I doubt if it's dangerous but it will be an area that you have to grease or things will stick.

Mine had no defects. I would call the manufacturer to find out if it is cosmetic as I wouldn't want anything going into my family's food.

If it was me I would return it. I would think this would make it stick in that one spot. I love my pan to make cornbread and brownies.

You need to send it back to the manufacturer. http://www.calphalon.com/Product-Support/Pages/Warranty-Information.aspxThey don;t make this pan anymore. They will send you a different pan.

My pan doesn't have anything on the side. I don't know what that is, unless it's some photographic anomaly.

I was sometimes I would soak it a bit then wipe with a soft sponge. My problem was that the nonstick surface began to wear and chip. I sent it back as you do not want to ingest teflon, very bad for you. It was a shame because otherwise we loved it.

When you receive the cookware, you will need to register it online. Once it is registered, if you have any problems referring to defect, you will need to email or call customer service for further instruction on how to get it repaired or replaced. So far, the cookware works great and has no signs of defects. Good luck.

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

I have had this happens with pans before that have a coating. I think it gets old after a while, and micro cracks form. I know generously prep all pans with butter and/or flour or use parchment paper.

I bought this as a gift for my Friend. However, I do not have experience baking in this cake pan. My Friend says her cakes come out fine. If it were me, I would probably still cut out a piece of parchment paper the size of the bottom. In the old days with regular aluminum cake pans, people would cut a piece of wax paper and put it at the bottom. So, I don't know what else to tell you other than perhaps go back to the greasing pan and then flour method. I wouldn't grease it heavy though. I wish I could be more helpful.

We have had no problem with ours in fact I have two pans that are 7 years old and no problem. I wish you good luck, yours may just be a manufacture defect.

After having my skillet for a short while, the middle of pan started to bubble up an started to stick so I'm not sure if the skillet was defected or what but threw out an did not order a second. In the biginning it was great to use an only washed an dried. Hope this helps.

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 send it back. Mine has not peeled but it is not very stick resistant.

I bought mine with a chip in the enamel from a reputable, discount home store a few years back. The chip is probably why it was at that store with a discount. I haven't noticed the chip getting any bigger, but I've also hardly used it and it mostly sits on the stove as decor.

Just be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating. It's when scratched that it causes problems. The cooker includes a plastic spatula, but I'm even gentle using that. I wash by hand.

Oh..forgot to mention.. Never pre heat this pan on high..As with all non stick...It will destroy them.. Read the directions and save the warranty card !

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

No, it is not normal, return it for a replacement or a refund. Fix it?---do you know how to weld? It's primary use is to cut butter or shortening into flour. What else did you have in mind for it?
