Definitely not used. At least my set wasn't. I bought it in 2009 and use it daily, handwash. Looks like new. My coating isn't peeling off at all.

I have two 5 qt. pans that I have had for many years and they are fine. My infinite pans are newer, go in the dishwasher regularly, and are also fine. I do use nylon utensils, but take no other care and the non-stick coatings are fine with daily use.

I have brand new pans for 1 year and not even a scratch. She handwashes and uses nylon utensils. Hangs them from a rack. Tried many brands and settled on Circulon Infinite. Cooks on Glass and Induction tops. They are a little heavier and take a little longer to heat up but worth it.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

We have the 10 piece set. I have always liked the look and feel of the Infinite line. We have been using ours for well over 5 years, never stack them when stored, always use nylon utensils, and wash them in the dishwasher. I have noticed that the non-stick surface seems to be wearing thinner, no chips or scratches just seems to be getting thinner fairly uniformly. Also, Circulon's warranty service is really poor. My daughter bought a set and the non-stick surface in the 3 quart pan bubbled soon after she bought it. Circulon claimed claimed the finish was damaged by overheating and would not honor the warranty. We have the 10 piece set. I have always liked the look and feel of the Infinite line.

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've been using my Infinite cookware (21 pieces, not including lids) for nearly 3 years. I own every pot and pan in the Infinite line, two of some. I also gave each of my daughters a 10-piece set after using mine for a year. Every pot and pan still looks as new as the day they were delivered; no peeling, staining nor blemishes of any kind. They're amazing; the only non-stick I've used in 50 years that actually works as advertised -- better, actually. Mine are used daily for stewing, boiling, grilling, frying and more. One caveat: I NEVER clean them in the dishwasher; I know its "safe", but my preference is to hand wash them. I simply don't want to use the harsh dishwasher chemicals on them. Besides, these clean up so easily, why not do them by hand? Bottom line: if the coating is starting to peel on yours, contact the company and ask for a replacement. Circulon (Meyer Corporation) customer service is excellent and can be reached (a real, live American!) at: 1-800-326-3933. UPDATE: Another year of daily use, and they still look and work like new!

Well, Plowgirl, Amazon does sell used cookware...did you order used? I think most folks responding here - me included - bought and received new cookware. But, how can we possibly answer your question as to whether yours is used without being able to see, and inspect, it? If you think you received used cookware, but ordered new, then contact Amazon customer service!

Hi, sorry took so long to get back to you, electric went out last night. I checked blades and they have a notch on ends of blade and 3 holes. No groves.

No, they are not. Also, regarding the black oily substance I found on the knives when I first received them, it is no longer a problem. The knives do not corrode, or give off any kind of substance. It must have been factory residue.

That's how mine were and the product covered them. Just make sure to give everything a good sanding first so the product will stick. I had a few spots where the stuff chipped off of the edge, but it's because I didn't sand it very well there.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

As far as I can tell, they are plywood. They have a wood veneer (on one side) that's probably been attached with some sort of resin. The blades are hard & stiff, not like "just" plywood - so I'm figuring some resin or glue was used to wet the wood when it was put in a press to set the twist in the blade. No matter what they used to make the fan - they don't "look" like plastic (which is what I think you're worried about?)

They're exactly as you've described. Hammer marks or faux pitting. Given the cost, the look is probably achieved mechanically.

No! I just washed my brand new ones and the steel coating is all gone. They'll still work, they just aren't shiny anymore.
1197167
Yes they are. They are metal. If you get polish on them just use remover to remove it. I hope this answers your question.

There is no sign of the colored coating wearing away on mine but this would probably vary depending on how roughly they are used. The blades on mine are attracted to a magnet.

No problems with sharpness of edges...I would definitely return them if someone would get cut!!!

I've had ours for 6 months used everyday and never had that happen. I hand wash them. I would think if you took a nail brush to the edges it would come off... It may be from sitting water in the cut edges if the metal??

I do not have any idea if they are coated or not.But for the cost and the look of them,they are worh the money. Mine are not old enough to see a patina.But These are perfect as they are for the sharps carbine I mounted on a board from the orginal boardwalk in Ocean City Md.

Sorry brother, I was under the assumption that they were still all made in the USA. It doesn't say on the saw, but the box says "made in China". Still has 5 year warranty, but when they were bought out they went international.

I've had mine since April. They haven't rusted nor has the coating peeled. Hope this helps :)

My edges are not sharp but they are thin and have a definite edge. I didn't think I would cut myself on them. Return or exchange them if you are pleased.

It looks like they are resin coated over stainless steel, but I am not 100% sure as they were a gift to my wife's sister.....check out the specifications at wayfair: http://www.wayfair.com/Farberware-6-Piece-Resin-Knife-Block-Set-5085418-FBR2073.html Also, you can contact LifetimeBrands for more details at: http://www.lifetimebrands.com/Contact-Us/CONTACT_US,default,pg.html
