When is it really time to replace your pan?

1. Scratches, flakes and other kitchen quirks

A pan full of scratches might look adventurous, but don’t be fooled – a damaged non-stick coating won’t stick the landing. And those flakes? They belong in your crisp bag, not in your risotto. Time to say goodbye before your omelet starts tasting like Teflon.

2. Everything sticks – except the pan

If your egg clings like an old flame, it’s definitely time for an upgrade. A pan is supposed to let go – just like bad habits. No more kitchen drama? Then replacing it isn’t a luxury – it’s a must.

3. Wobbly, warped and out of balance

A pan that wobbles like a barstool on gravel? Not exactly the foundation for a culinary masterpiece. A warped base causes uneven heating – which means half-raw bell peppers and overcooked courgette. Not okay.

4. Rust never rests

A bit of patina on cast iron? Charming. But if your pan looks like it survived the Titanic, it's time to let it retire. Rust does not belong in your ratatouille. Period.

5. Funky smells in the kitchen

If your pan still smells like salmon while you're baking an apple crumble, something’s fishy. Lingering smells mean your pan’s best days are behind it. Time for fresh pans and fresh air.

6. Older than your favorite series

If your pan was around when Friends was still airing, it deserves retirement. Even the best pans wear out. And you deserve one that fits your kitchen vibe today.

7. Cooking without a spark

A good pan should get you excited to hit the stove. If yours drags you down like a Monday morning, it’s time for an upgrade. Cook & Pan pans make cooking fun again – and stylish too.

8. Your pan no longer matches your principles

Cooking clean but still using a pan full of questionable stuff? That doesn’t sit right. Our pans are free from harmful substances, durable and downright beautiful. That way, your cooking style stays as pure as your ingredients.

9. Sometimes tossing it is the greenest choice

A pan that doesn’t do its job wastes energy and ingredients. And that’s just sad. A great pan helps avoid flops – and food waste. Replacing it can actually be the most sustainable choice.

10. Life changes – your pan should keep up

Moving out? Starting a family? Your pan should evolve with you. Cook & Pan has pans for every moment in life – from lightweight aluminium for quick bites to bold cast iron beauties for that Sunday stew.

Ready or not?

Not sure if your pan’s past its prime? Do the test:

• Does food stick where it used to glide?
• Does the base feel bumpier than a gravel path?
• Secretly hoping it breaks so you can finally get a new one?

Sound familiar? Then it’s time for a fresh start.
