How well does this resist warping? I have a ceramic top stove and most pans I buy bow out in the middle so they don't sit flat.

I've had no problems thus far. I bought this skillet so I could genuinely scour it if I had to cook something likely to stick to nonstick surfaces. I still use a fairly pedestrian nonstick for less demanding applications. This is a very good quality pan - it should resist warping at least as much as any other brand. One thing I value is its ability to handle oven heat.

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!

I have had no problem with that and warping on the bottom This couldn't happen to a cheaper pans if you tend to have them hot and then put them in Coldwater the outside world shrink and make the bottom work out I have have not had any problems with Farberware

We have a glass cook top and we bought this new pan because our old farberware pan DID warp but after over 30 years of use. The last 10 years on the glass cook top. We've had this one about 1 year and it is still fine.

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).

I have a glass top stove and we have had no warping and we have had ours now for about 4 months! LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!

Yes, my same pan (in the 12" size) warped slightly. I cranked the heat pretty abruptly, though (by mistake). Lodge says that these pans work on any cooktop, including induction stoves (on their website). You just have to be careful to heat the pan somewhat gradually. I haven't had the chance to test this myself, though, to see if the pan stays flat with gradually warming it because I haven't purchased another one yet. Personally, I was a little disappointed because I really liked the pan until it warped (only slightly). I find myself using that pan a lot less because I don't feel like taking my time with warming my pan. I want to be able to get a hot pan asap and start cooking.

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.

Mine is flat. The non-stick surface repels oils so one may begin to think that the surface is not flat because of the way oils run around the pan. I think it has more to do with the heat distribution though than the flatness of the pan. Also, I am careful with all my pans to heat them up slowly before I cook on them. I have not tried turning the flame on high to a cold pan to see if it warps but I also don't intend to do this.

Yes, I've used these pans under a broiler on high multiple times. I had no problems with warping like thin, cheaper pans. They are great, solid and thick aluminum.

I have had this griddle for six years, using it a little more frequently than every other weekend, to cook pancakes. No warping whatsoever. I too only wash it by hand.

I have a ceramic topped stove and we just received this pan so I haven't used it. There are several warnings in the pamphlet included with the pan regarding ceramic topped stoves. It states that "overheating or allowing (porcelain enamel) to boil dry can make these pans fuse to the surface of the glass top ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cook top". My husband says to "go for it", but I do worry about the heat required to stir fry. The pan rated highly, but I am a little worried.

I bought this skillet to replace one that warped. I assume it warped from using it on "Hi" heat when it is suggested by the manufacturer no to do this.

No, it doesn't. It's a good, sturdy little pan, but not non-stick. Depending on what I'm using it for, I cover the bottom with a sheet of foil, or use non-stick spray. We've had no problems with it warping.

Other than keeping it on a flat surface, which I do with mine, it should not warp. I have not had that problem.

The cookie sheet has not warped mainly due to the fact there's a steel rod all around the rim to keep it from doing just that. In fact I'm using this under the charcoal grate on my PK grill to catch the ashes and it gets hot under the fire on one end with no warp yet.

My pan hasn't warped due to the fact that I let it cool first before washing. I think the degree of heat should not matter; just try letting the pan cool before washing. Hope this helps.

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.

Hi, I have owned this griddle for about a year and use it weekly (at least) on my Viking 6 burner stove (which pumps out a fair amount of BTUs). No issues at all with the griddle and no sign at all of warping. The griddle weighs a ton. JP
