What is the All-Clad Warranty?
- From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item
found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use
and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse.
Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.
What will void my All-Clad Warranty?
- If your All-Clad is used on high heat for a period of time.
- If your All-Clad is left empty on a heated burner for a period of time,
the metals may separate and cause extreme damage to your All-Clad.
- If your All-Clad LTD, MC2, Cop-R-Chef, Copper-Core, or Non-stick pieces
are used in the dishwasher.
- If metal utensils are used on the non-stick cooking surface.
- The use of scouring pads, steel wool, abrasive cleansers, bleach and/or
oven cleaners will void your warranty.
- Salt usage may cause pitting to the stainless steel interior. To avoid salt
damage, do not add salt to your food until the liquid begins to boil. The
salt pitting will not interfere with the cooking aspect of the pan, only the
beauty of it.
How long is the warranty on the All-Clad non-stick surface?
- Following the All-Clad Care and Use instructions, the non-stick surface
will last the lifetime of the pan.
All-Clad's non-stick products feature a state-of-the art system rather than
a simple coating. The non-stick on All-Clad is actually a reinforced process.
The surface of the substrate is blasted with an abrasive, which prepares the
surface for better adherence. White hot particles of stainless steel are then
sprayed onto the surface. Once these particles cool and harden, they become
part of the surface of the substrate, and form a series of "peaks and
valleys". The first coat of non-stick is then applied, settling down
into the valleys. A second coat of non-stick is then applied filling in all
of the valleys and covering the peaks, forming an even surface for cooking.
The coatings are permanently bonded to the surface for extreme durability.
