5 Charlotte Ramsay  · Great set and convenient to use – Awesome product, using like a pro. The quality is great and I'm very impressed until now.
5 Martha  · Great product – These pans are great. I love the non stick and durability of them. I use them every day in my coking and they are my go to pans every time.
1 Patricia Glen  · Rubbish – I have followed all the manufacturers requirements and have found these pans to be useless everything sticks to them absolute waste of money!
2 Karen  · Black brown staining – Really disappointed after 4 months a brown black stain appeared and now everything sticks nothing is ever how it is advertised
2 Magie Zora  · Not burn free – my food was stuck the first day, it all lies you don't need oil , and what was all that before you use it oil it warm it than wipe out
1 Nath  · As most have said – Ours went brown, got tons of scratches total rubbish will look at getting ceramics like a few others have said...

Helped me loose weight :) – About a year ago I started my journey to loose weight. As everyone knows, results are made in the kitchen! As soon as I saw Flavorstone fry pans on TV I had to try them as I was really committed to shred some pounds once and for all. They non-stick coating is unreal and cooking without oil or fats just help me so much keep on track with my diet! … Read more

I called the Customer Care Team once to ask a few questions and they were really helpful!

I'm very happy with my over all experience.

Absolute rubbish no customer support – I purchased this a few years ago and everything has stuck to it since new when I contacted customer support I was told to clean it with Bi-carb it just gets worse with every use my stainless pan didn’t have this much trouble. Not even worth the scrap value Several choice words come to mind but are unsuitable for this forum DONT WASTE YOUR TIME THEY DONT SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCT!! Show details

Good while it lasted – I received this product around 19 May 2021. For the period that it was working well, it did a good job, though smaller than I would have preferred for two people. Unfortunately, although I never used it above one third full power on my electric stove top, used olive oil and plastic egg-lifters, and washed it with plastic scrubber/sponges or plain… Read more

cloth in warm/hot soapy water, the surface became discoloured and caused food to stick more over time. I got to the point, two or three months ago, where I decided it would be about as effective overall to use my big old cast iron frypan, and put up with the scrubbing. So I have put the FlavorStone away.

Waste of money – Not even non stick after a few months. Cannot even fry a simple egg without most of the egg sticking to the frypan. Hard to clean. Simple frypans have lasted longer than this. Show details

Great for several years, but now, useless – Fine for several years...LOVED them, until 18 months ago, the lid jumped off the pot, mid cook, (my back was turned and the noise of it clattering onto the stove top frightened the life out of me) and it wouldn't "fit" back on...The pot had warped! I continued to use it (with a "universal" oversized lid) until the last couple of weeks when… Read more ·  1

literally EVERYTHING began to stick to both the pot and the frypan. Now, they are a nightmare, and I haven't done anything differently than I did for the past five or six years...I bought the 2 fry pan and one pot set in 2015 I believe. SO sad. After reading other reviews, it does seem to me, that once the interior base turns black, (or really, really dark blue) it is the end of their useful life...so, six years ISN'T ten years, (with about 4 years before the pot warped)...and THAT shouldn't have happened....

Replaced all of my cookware with Flavorstone – I have a bunch of Flavorstone cookware and love it to death. From infusion grill to pans and square pans. Chucked all my Scanpans that cost me a lot more money. Currently looking to replace Scanpan saucepans. Sure all underneath bases get darkened but which cookware does not? I have not even followed instructions but works great for me. Show details

awesome set~ don't forget to season with oil – i have had these for about 8 years and couldn't be happier and unlike many of lazy whiners here i followed instructions to season the pans with oil every time before i use them, which literally takes one minute to rub a film of oil into the surface. My only gripe is the 3 pc set didn't have a larger (30cm) pot or pan, these have been a joy to cook… Read more

and easy to clean up with. The heat conducting isn't quite as good as some more expensive brands but that has never been a problem either. The fry pan was had the surface partly destroyed by a flatmate that spent a few weeks washing it with abrasivs material and not seasoning it with oil but i have continue to season it and it is still 90% good, the others are fine

Non-Stick Quality

Handle broke immediately – After the hour or so it took to remove the truly absurd amount of packaging, the first thing I noticed is you can't unstick the sticker from the non-stick pans. Some might call that irony, I call it failure to meet the product description. And if you absolutely MUST put a sticker on a pan that just says "remove this sticker", could you at least… Read more

put it on the outside? I'd be willing to bet you tried that and it didn't stick. It only sticks to the non-stick bit, am I right? Of course I am. They've been soaking in warm water for two hours and the stickers still won't come off. So I thought I'd try out the handles while I'm waiting for the sticky stickers to unstick from the non-stick, and the handle for the square pan sort of works, but I'm not going to risk using it with any weight in the pan... it's just a grip and it wobbles about, so I have zero confidence in being able to actually pick the thing up with it. But worse is the handle for the casserole: Never mind taking the weight of the dish, it couldn't even withstand itself! It shattered the moment I tried to slide it into place.

I bought this set of pans on the strength of reviews I have read on more than one website. I have to now seriously doubt the authenticity of some of those "customer" reviews.

Works well as stated – I had these pans for around 3yrs or so. The pans had a good non stick quality, was amazed at the stuff that didn’t stick. After time I found them to become less non stick but still better than other pans I used. Also over time they started to go brown which was unable to be cleaned, but still highly recommend. Only other down fall is some of the… Read more ·  1

pans are a lot bigger than the burner on my stove, so the outside of the pan wouldn’t get as hot as it has no contact with the element. I brought a new set and continue to love them

Great for a few years and now everything sticks to the pan. Almost unusable – Handles don't get hot but are heavy, especially with food in pan. Definitely not non stick after years of use, cleaned as per instructed. Very disappointed in quality. I will not purchase again Show details

If it wasnt half price i wouldnt of bought it – I put an egg in a pie maker and it slide off better. WORD - i think with all the advertising on tv it's make out the product is the best thing since sliced bread, i'm here to tell you that is not true. I've never been as disgusted in my life regarding a product, even after conditioning the pan food still got stuck to it. I wouldn't recommend this product to any human being. If it wasnt half price i wouldnt of bought it. Show details

Lasted for an year – The pans were good for about an year, after that the non stick kept wearing off and now its just like any other set. Without oil, we cant use these any more. The pans looks rusty now and doesnt look blue on the inside. Its a big mistake. My stainless steel pans are much better than these. Show details

Rubbish, not non stick, – Not non stick, can't even fry an egg, forget trying to cook salmon. They state no need to add oil - rubbish. This product should not be being sold as it is not fit for purpose. Do not bother buying this - stick with known brands. Very disappointed. Show details

Non stick? As if – I’d love to know how they tested the nonstick - no need for oil or butter. I just bought this and tested it out with an egg and both times the egg sticks so badly you have to scrape it off and put it in the bin. What a joke, if it didn’t saying no need for oil/butter I might have liked it a little better but to me that’s false advertising Show details

very good as described – great product still in good condition 8 yrs later. removable handle on deep dish pan is awesome to use in grill or oven. I didn't notice any excessive heat in handles or lids, easy for me to use They sent 1 wrong colour pan and 1 pan was dented, they replaced both quickly The accessories that came with them kitchen utensils, knives, oven trays, are still great as well. Show details

Convenient product – I have gotten them as a xmas gift and the best thing i own. They are very easy to clean, non stick and i cook everything in them. The only issue i have is that i have a gas stove and when the handles are exposed there is a burning odour. Still use them on daily basis. Show details

It was ok for around 3 months then lost the none stick I would not buy any flavour stone item again – Average weight but I have a stainless steel set of pots and pans would put them against these any day I've had these for 41 years so I think I wouldn't go and buy something would last me 3 months again I would be so silly if I did.  Show details

Diamond Edition- I like it but, – Just like other non stick pans, the heat/flame is suppose to be only half way so it takes longer than usual. Other than that the quality of this product is excellent. I’ve been using it almost everyday & the bottom part is not even dark.  Show details

I have no trouble with my flavorstone pans whatsoever – I have owned my flavorstone for over 5 years and love them, no sticking, easy to clean, use them every day, and have updated with a flavorstone infusion grill. Why some users are having trouble beats me, follow the instructions correctly and there should be no trouble.  Show details
