I bought an Analon set a couple of years ago...already the frying pan is starting to bubble on the inside...do these pans do that....

I've only had them for less than one year, but so far I have not noticed any "bubbles" on the inside of the frying pan. The only problem with the cookware set are how sensitive the pots and pans can be to light scratches from certain food items (ex. sugar)

I haven't had any issues with bubbling or other type defects with Tramontina. What I did receive from my Amazon purchase is a couple of warped pieces in my set. Not fatal flaws but I do expect quality to be good.

Mine have not done it so far. Amazing pots and pans especially for this price!

I have had my set for a couple of years - no chipping, no bubbles, and super easy to clean. I nest my pans, so I bought a set of cookware protectors like these just in case but have had no issues when I bumped the pans together ( Range Kleen Cookware Protectors, Set of 3

I also have a set of Farberware that is 40 years old and I still love it which is why I purchased these pans. I despise the "coated" cookware which is another reason why I purchased these pans. However, I guess the "sticking" question would have to be answered by "it's according to what you're cooking". For instance, I use PAM in my pans before frying an egg; and I saute veggies with olive oil so I've never had an issue with food sticking. I really like the ease in cleaning these pans. I would recommend Farberware stainless cookware to anyone.

These pans have a bottom that is thicker than the sides and have concentric circles machined into the bottom, which I assume is to help prevent heat buckling. That said, the largest pan will bulge slightly when stir frying on the highest heat setting for several minutes. The bulge disappears as soon as a little liquid starts bubbling out of the mushrooms, chicken, etc. My largest cast iron pan bulges more.The smaller pans have never bulged, when frying eggs, making a rue etc., but I have not stir fried in them.Wife and I cook on a glass top, radiant stove.

Yes, under high, prolonged heat they can, and the 8" fry pan has lost it's non stick qualities. They also stain easily.

The pans just have AIRBAKE on them, but from what I remember they were Tfal. I must confess I haven't used them yet as I am saving them for Hot Cross Bun season-the only thing I will use them for, as they don't over brown the bottoms. .at least my old ones didin't. Guess I should check them out!! Hope this helps.

We have been using them for a year now and they are a good set of pans but....they stick....eggs are the worst....The good news is they clean up rather easy after a good soaking but still a pain. for the price they are a good deal...

Shouldn't be a problem. So far (I've owned these pans for a couple of months), these are the best non-stick pans I have ever owned.

I agree with the previous comments. These pans are not very non stick, it also chips off easily. I am very disappointed with them.

My wife will not wash pans by hand. She told me staight up when I bought them that they were going into the dishwasher. After about a year of use and dishwasher washing they are still doing fine. My children also use them a lot and careless use of metal utensils has led to some light scratches in the most frequently used pans, but they still don't stick, and I haven't noticed much difference in performance due to the dishwasher. Still - one would expect longer life if you was them by hand. There is some change in color in the stainless base but it doesn't effect cooking performance.

I've only been using mine for a few months, but I totally love it. I used the coconut oil as suggested by a previous poster and I'll probably do mine around every 6 months or so. I do love cooking with these pans. Every time I use them, they amaze me more.

I haven't had any sticking issues. I do not use high heat.I usually use medium to medium high heat when I am using the fry pans . This is my second set of Calphalon and both sets have been wonderful. If you continue to have sticking issues, contact Calphalon and see what they have to say.

I needed a new set of pans for the very same reason you stated. I chose Farberware because I got a few pans 59 years ago that have withstood the test of time. They weren't warped a bit. I chose a set of new Farberware!

From experience: Nope nope nope! I have one of the small single pans I bought about a year before I bought this set. I put it in the dishwasher and noticed after a few weeks the non-stick started to deteriorate. It still works okay, better than some of your cheaper "non-stick" pans but not as good as the new set that I've yet to put in the dishwasher. Plus, you pretty much just swipe a soapy rag around in these then rinse to clean them. I've continued washing the small pan in the dishwasher just to see and it doesn't seem any worse but it definitely won't last as long.

I've been using them daily for almost 2 years now and I'm not easy on them; lots of frying and deep frying, untold dishwasher rounds, days of sitting in detergent water... both the coating and the shape have stayed true. I'm actually amazed they've stayed as they have. I didn't expect them to last this long. I thought I would be replacing them by now but I'm not even close. Definitely one of the better purchases I've made. Hope that helps.
