How prone are these pans to warping? I noticed another TFal set mentions anti-warp tendancies but this set does not. Thank you for responding to my question.

Have had my set a couple of months. As of now, very pleased with construction and cooking of pots. Haven't noticed any warping. They are very sturdy pots. Would be surprised at any warping.

The Ultimate Hard Anodized selections of Tfal pans are the ones that make the anti warping claims. However the T-Fal Signature style pans do not include that claim, at least not on the website I checked.To date this set of pans has not warped nor shown signs of warping. Please keep in mind they are being used by a novice, he isn't doing any high heat searing on a regular basis or anything fancy....

Paolo very good question indeed. First thing i noticed when receiving my set of T Fal Pans is that its very sturdy hard metal not going to warp bend or break very good strong quality i highly advise you to buy these sets i am very pleased with my purchase and I'm sure you will be too.

This is a high quality pan. Weve used it for over a year and it has not warped. The secret is not to wash it until it cools down. If you run water over it, especially cold water, it will warp due to the sudden change of temperature. Hope this helps.

I actually own both models with lid and without. I have use both of them extensively and they are both perfect, they clean beautifully and stay shiny and new looking with an occasional scub with "Bar Keepers Friend" cleaner. Whom ever claimed that they had warping issues should seek replacement, I have a kitchen full of All Clad pots and pans and have never had a single issue. Hope his helps with your decision! ps: The difference between the one with lid is a different handle, otherwise the body is identical.

We use on a gas stove, but have had no warping after years of use. We don't use with high temperature. Our purpose for using is to get lower temperature than the lowest flame setting, for simmering, so high temps and warping seem like moot points.

So far (a few years now) I have not had any issues with these warping and I use them often on my flat, ceramic top stove. I have had others that did (coated inside so they don't stick).

RAV, I have a 12 qt. Calphalon commercial pan, and I have the same exact problem. Last week, my meatballs stuck to the bottom of the pan and I had a terrible time with it. My friend raves about it. However, she has a gas stove and mine is electric. I really think that has a lot to do with it. I even called the company because I found that the outer perimeter of the pan doesn't heat very well. My friend has no problem in that regard, so I am convinced that it was specifically made for gas cooking. I'm going back to T-Fal. Although they are not durable, they work best for me. Jackie

I have a Thermodor range That has high output burners and have use this pan both on the burners and in the electric oven there is no sign of any warping. I love this pan just as much as my All Clad SST pans.

I believe I've had both and the professional is heavier. The one problem I've had with the thinner ones was shillets warping over time. When I saw this T-fal professional was the #1 recommended skillet by "America's Test Kitchen" I decided to buy one. I'm very happy with it. And yes I know the warping is from someone putting a hot skillet under running water...I keep telling hubby that, but....Carole

I have not had any problem with these pans and I've been using them for several months. They are probably not the best pans for ultra-high heat gas flame cooking, but are perfectly fine for electric cooktops. They clean up beautifully. I really could not be more pleased with this set. It's a great price for very good quality.

I've used this skillet many times and I love it. I have not heard of thee pans warping. I do not put any of my pans in the dishwasher. I have never had a pan that warped before.

I purchase two pans. I was very surprised how sturdy they were. I've used them several times & they have not warped. Money well spent!

I know they caution against high temps but nothing on low temps causing warping. The best way to know would be to contact the company.

I went to look at my pan and it simply says "TFAL" 3 times around the edge of a circle centered on the bottom. No other writing appears anywhere that I can see. It would seem this is a different pan series or perhaps some updated pan with the same construction. You should probably drop a note with the information to the manufacturer.

I've hads these pans for a while & they haven't warped. They are about the same weight as my old set of pans (not PD's brand) and thoses never warped. Here's something to think about. They are porcelain. Have you ever seen a toilet warp? So far, the only problem I've had is discoloration on the exterior of the smallest pan. I also only hand wash these.

Yes, no problems there, no warping. I've been using these trays for many years, I always have one on my lap because I use a wheelchair full-time. With all that use, I like to sanitize them in the dishwasher.

I have not had a problem and my daughter and daughter in law haven't had them warp. We use ours all the time and love them.

Thanks for posting this question. I've used & liked T-Fal frying pans for a while, which have always been perfectly flat. The one at my mom's house, however, has that hump in the center, which drives me insane! The hump makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually saute or fry something in oil or ghee. I thought the pan was warped, so was looking for a replacement. If I bought this one, I would have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire!!! I see lots of good suggestions posted by others, so I'll be looking into those.
