    No, the crafty so and so's, if you read the website, only refer to the 'french skillett, as being coated.
    See below. VVVV Crafty indeed in my opinion,

    i very nearly ordered these, glad i didn't as i have the stainless steel ones and wanted non- stick. i think you should phone and complain, the pic clearly showed a non- stick coating.

    I agree. Its not good at all. the black frying pan has non stick coating but the rest are all silver- not what it shows on the website. I feel tricked!!

    Oh no, does this mean the pans are rubbish then?? I've ordered 2 sets to be collected at my local store.

    well, if your just boiling things in the saucepan, i spose they will be okay. But i do things in my large pans such as sometimes, fry a bit of mince add tomatoes and make a sauce. and come to think of it, i use the small ones for making sauce.
    If you did anything like that then i'm afraid they will stick like fury. But if your just sticking potatoes in and boiling, they will be fine. I am really miffed I must say.

    just rechecked the page and you're right, im cancelling mine now. They want to redo their customer service and keep people on hold rather than forcing them to ring back tho!
  • typical i've now gotta wait for the store to contact me when they receive it and tell them I dont want it anymore. That had to be the slowest wait ever, must only be one person answering he phones.

    I was going to order these this morning until it became clear that the pans were not 'non stick', just stainless steel which I hate. Frying anything off first make an awful mess no matter how careful you are. Plus cleaning stainless steel is just as time consuming.

    Oh well the search goes on.
