How does it come that my ozeri pan sticks like crazy?I have this pan only for a short time. The first weeks the non-stick properties were stellar. After 2 months of use it sticks like crazy. And this, although the ceramic layer still looks brand-new, not one scratch (I always use wooden spatulas).Neither has it ever been put it in the dishwasher.

It's because these pans are junk. I've used lots of non-stick pans, read all of the research about smoke points, burning teflon, etc. and am the designated heat police in the house and the non-stick coating still stopped working after only a few months.

I don't have a sticking problem, however sometimes people have a heat higher than the smoke point of the oil that they use, and the oil actually caramelizes and make things stick. That is my best guess. So far no issue with my Wok and I use it about once a week.

What I have found with all non stick pan is that you can only cook in med heat. Any higher and the coating starts to slowly come off which make it ineffective.

I have not had that problem but, then again, I have always used oil when cooking with this pan. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

The non stick does not extend on the lip of the outside of the pan, if you follow the directions and let the the pan cool after you use it, it cleans up in a snap, in other words, do not pour water in and think it will soak, just let it turn if off and let it cool and then wash it with soap and water and dry. I do not know if I would put it in the dishwasher as I treat it as any other non stick pan that I use. Also follow the directions and do not heat it to high thinking that it will work better, it works beautifully if you follow the directions. where we live it is very cold and a lot of snow and from December to March, I use this pan and I love it.

My thinking is that all coated or ceramic non stick pans eventually lose their non stick properties. Your best bet is a cast iron pan that you keep seasoned. It should be non stick forever. Hope this helps.

Nothing sticks to mine. Did you season it with the oil in the oven first? It may need done again. I think periodically you must season it.

I have not had that experience. Love this wok and the nonstick remains good after repeated use.

Brand new it works GREAT, once properly seasoned. After 3-4 months however its anti-stick properties drop off, and from then on its a HIGH MAINTENANCE surface where you have to re-season it regularly. I re-season mine as often as once a week.... Read my review where I go into details. But overall... NO, GO WITH TEFLON.

First of all, it is a coated, non-stick surface. NEVER use a metal pad to clean it.I soak it with DAWN and use the point of a wood skewer to clean the corners out.I use this pan at least once a week, and it still looks almost brand new. NOTE: If you have scratched the coating by using Brillo, it has lost its non-stick features. You may want to get a new one and clean it differently.I hope this helps.

I've never had that experience with this wok, but I treat it like I do my cast iron pans. After I wash the wok in hot soapy water, I dry it thoroughly and coat the inside with a thin coat of canola oil before I put it away. This keeps it looking beautiful and is non stick as well.

I'm surprised a cast iron skillet had that problem! I have not had an issue with mine since I got it in December. I even used it in the oven a. It's been even cooking for me since the day I've used it.

Ours is definitely NOT "non stick". And I should know, my wife insists that I wash it after we use it. That's not fair. help me!

I haven't found them to be any more durable than other non-stick pans. Although they advertise that you can use metal utensils, I found that they scratched easily, and then lost their non-stick surface. I think we were conned into thinking that they are better quality because they are Danish, but I definitely haven't found that to be the case!

Hi Tina, It says not to with non stick pans becuase over time it will wear off, and we don't. Washing by hand is super easy though since nothing sticks to it. We jut use a soft dish brush and we have had no issues with them so far. Great set!

A number of factors could be happening here. Could it be caused by your recipe? Is the finish breaking down? Perhaps a strong dish washing detergent is the culprit. The pan is a high quality part of my kitchen and I would suggest a light spray of something like Pam before baking.

Hi There! I never wash any of my good pans in the dishwasher. This pan is awesome and cleans easily because it has a non-stick finish.

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!

I love this pan. I have two of them. The best non stick pan I have ever owned. I have not had a problem with the non stick coating..I'm somewhat suspicious that they used metal utensils or a Brillo pad to clean this which you should never do.. Again..best pans I have ever owned and we'll worth the money..Take care of it and it will last a long time.. I hope this helps..

Mine started sticking too.. made ugly cakes and I threw it out. I know they were meant to not stick for more than using them a few times. I sprayed with the flour spray thinking maybe it would work better but some still stuck. The pans cost too much not to be better than this. I thought I was buying the best brand of pan. I washed by hand each little cake hole. Nothing was sticking on them that would have caused this problem. Just disappointed. If, anyone has an answer to this I would really like to know.
