HEllo, the model I bought has a stainless steel lid and painted black side panels. Will the panel sides peel? IF they peel would it just fall down the side and not on the food? THanks

We have had ours about seven months and used it a couple of times a week and have had no issues with peeling.

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck

I tried a magnet on the wok itself and the ring it sits on. On both items the magnet stuck. The lid is just aluminum and the magnet did not stick on there. I hope this answers your question.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I have had no problems with at all with the coating coming off of the edges. I do place a paper towel between each pan when I store them in my pan drawers and this may be why I have had no problems with peeling.

I purchased this model before Christmas. After one use (cooking prime rib on Christmas Day), we noticed that the interior bottom surface had pitted in several spots. It appears that the shiny stainless surface had just "flaked" off. We liked the pan otherwise, and it appeared of good quality and weight, but sadly, we had to return it. Not sure at this point whether to try again on the same model and hope we don't get a "lemon," or look for a different brand. I'm leaning toward a different brand as it appears that that the poor quality is a systemic manufacturing problem, as the pitting of the stainless surface was noted by other reviewers.

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.

I, too, wondered if this might happen. I baked one Angel Food cake since receiving the pan, the bottom and sides held sufficiently so that it cooled just fine. I am pleased with it, and cleanup was easy, too. I am planning to bake a chiffon cake for Thanksgiving.

The lid and the mounting surface for the lid are not silicone. The rest of it is food grade silicone though.

I have the black one, so feel free to discount my answer. I "think" my black one is painted metal, instead of painted stainless. Make sure read my earlier review in case my experience helps you. Once installed, it has been holding up and doing its job well over the past year and half.

It is not absolutely non stick, and in fact, the heat comes from the sides. This means that food touching the sides does have a tendency to get cooked onto it I did not have any issues with gettting the side clean I would not call it absolutely non stick, more like, when food does stick to the sides it is easy to clean off. I never have any issues with food stuck to the bottom

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

Mine never did that or I didn't notice it and my husband would say I notice everything. Mine came with little rubber things around the lid. I keep them on it when I store it. Used it yesterday to make a chicken noodle with vegetable soup. Used it Sunday to do the Pioneer woman chuck roast that is Devine. Started on stove top and finished in the oven.

I picked this model specifically because it didn't have the Teflon coating. I wanted the ability to scrub aggressively if needed. (Burnt on cheese being the possibility) Past experience has taught me that even being gentle with Teflon it will flake. This may not be the right model, mine is #FPSTFN7710. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do!!

Yes, the inner rim that screw the lid is plastic, but it won't touch the food. The part that might touch the food is stanless steel.

Well, I've had my sets for about 8 years now, but you can't tell I've had them that long; no scratches, no chips, no burnt marks no nothing. I have burnt vegetables to black charcoal inside my pots several times, it peels right off after soaking the pot in hot soapy water overnight. There is no non-stick coating on this line of cook ware. People are mistaken. It's all made together in one piece, made of a special type of material that's non-stick, it's not a coating like Teflon. So there is no peeling or scraping off. I use my skillets, pots on a regular basis. There is a possibility for the pots, pans or skillets to chip, but it's gotta be from something really hard, that caused the chipping and if it chips you can see the metal all the way through. On one of my orders the skillet was chipped, so I sent it right back and received another. No matter what your this line of bake ware is always replaceable with the company, despite when or where you purchased it.

The entire grill has a no stick coating that is superb. Only one side can be used, namely he ridged side. The flat side has the non-stick coating; however, you my not use it for cooking because it does not have a lip to hold in food. it's a deal only if you use the one side; A-1 surface. Blessings. Anne
