Calphalon non-stick Lifetime Warranty

If you have any Calphalon non-stick cookware that is beginning to flake off, scratch or otherwise deteriorate, it will be covered under their lifetime warranty. Here is how it works:

1. Clean your pan, skillet or pot to the best of your ability. If it appears damaged because of abuse, then they may not honor it.
2. Write a letter. Include your name, address and a brief description of the problem. Usually, saying something like "We have had this pan for awhile and it is beginning to lose the non-stick coating. We take great care of it making sure we never use metal objects or any harsh abraisives..." you get the idea. Sign it with a big thank you! This info is on the warranty form, but I like to include it for the tech who opens the box. You never know haw that can affect the decisions a person makes :-)
3. Check out the Calphalon warranty section of their site HERE. Fill out the warranty authorization and you will get the addrss to ship to.
4. Pack it in a box and send it to calphalon, you may want to add a tracking number or delivery confirmation.

This process will take 2 weeks or so, be patient. They should, barring any issues like abuse, replace it with a similar new model usually including the lid. So if you have a pan that cost $79.99 or more to replace, $15 of shipping plus a couple week wait equals almost $65.00  in savings!   I had 2 pans, each about 5 years old that had deteriorated. Calphalon replaced them both. $30 spent in shipping for $165 of new pans.
