Respectfully, I disagree completely. If someone else had a similar situation that they were able to navigate more effectively, I would love to hear their experience. At the very least I would at least know it is worth pushing if I hear they will honor their warranty. Additionally, I can't imagine that anyone's time while scrolling Reddit can be considered wasted. I am not making a sick hourly wage while I scroll through posts only to be completely ruined by a post asking a legitimate question.

Nonstick pans do fail. I agree. This is a brand that is typically respected for their durability. With proper care nonstick pans can last a while. I expected better from All Clad based on their reputation.
