 Good while it last Feb 05, 2008
By E.Z.
"Eve"
I have both of these items for a few years and don't use them anymore. The skillet is not non-stick anymore and the dutch oven is flaking. So for a price of the set and a couple of years of use I don't think it's a good deal.

 WON'T TAKE A LICKING, AND SOON STARTS STICKING. Apr 19, 2009
By Angela
Like many other reviewers for Scanpan pieces/sets, my experience with this cookware has been awful. I've tossed a complete set out after just four years of use. I'm aware there is a warranty, but why replace bad with bad? Besides, the process for warranty replacement has less appeal than a root canal. It's a joke.
YOU REALLY OWE IT TO YOURSELF to check around on the Internet for consumer feedback/reviews on this overpriced and overrated cookware. Again and again you'll read about how the nonstick surface eventually discolors, then forms little bubbles, the surface degrades, then finally loses all its nonstick qualities. Take the time to read customers' 1-star ratings here on Amazon for both sets and single pieces, and you'll read the same thing over and over again. SERIOUSLY, FOLKS, THINK TWICE.

 Gotta get these pans! Jan 05, 2007
By Margaret E. Cullen
We own quite a few Scanpans and cannot say enough about them. Cooking is a pleasure with the no stick surface. They clean up like nothing you have used before and look as new as the day we bought them. We like them so much that now we buy scanpans for all our family members as birthday and Christmas gifts.

Be afraid...be very afraid. ZERO STARS Apr 07, 2009
By UpperDown
Starter set? ... better to start somewhere else. One of these 5-star reviews could easily have been mine about five years ago. I was over the top about them at first, but am feeling a bit different about SCANPAN these days, and I'm also in the process of replacing my entire collection for which I paid more than I care to admit.
Reading through the Amazon reviews (back then in March 2004) and reviews elsewhere, I was convinced I would be investing in the best cookware on the planet, and it would serve me the rest of my days with its lifetime warranty. At first it performed well, despite the limited size assortment of sauce pans in the titanium Classic line ... the largest being the 3-quart size, which is barely big enough to boil enough spuds for two servings of mashed potatoes. But the pans distributed the heat very well, and food didn't stick to the nonstick surface.
Though I knew I could, I never put them in the dishwasher and, as is my style, I took very good care of the cookware. Living alone, I would describe my use of the cookware as "light" ... I was the only one who ever cooked on them. Even with the surface rated tough enough for metal utensils, I never used anything but nylon or wooden spatulas, spoons, etc. I also never used PAM on the surface. I pampered this cookware.
The covered sauté pan that I used most often was the first to show signs of discoloration on the cooking surface, along with a mass of little bubbles. Some of the bubbles lost their tops, others didn't. This started within 12-15 months of being new. Slowly this worsened and the cooking surface took on an unsightly dull gold/orange hue. Though disappointing I could have lived with discoloration, but within two years food was starting to stick to the surface. REALLY STICK.
A few pieces in the collection still look like new, but only because they're used less frequently/rarely. The two pots I've used the most are not as discolored as the sauté pan, but are bubbled, spotted and scuffed/nicked. The sauté pan is now officially "toast," and I tossed it out today. I'd consider sending the pans back for warranty replacement if it was an isolated defect, but it isn't, clearly all the pots/pans are headed in the same direction ... south. The so-called titanium nonstick surface simply doesn't last. Caveat emptor.
