Cookware does not have one universal expiry date. Replacement depends on material, condition, safety and performance.

Non-stick pans

Consider replacement when the coating is extensively peeling, deeply scratched, blistering or no longer performing as designed.

Stainless steel

Quality stainless steel can last many years. Replace or repair if handles become unsafe, the base separates, severe warping prevents stable cooking or structural damage appears.

Bare cast iron

Surface rust and lost seasoning are usually repairable. Structural cracks are different and generally mean the cookware should no longer be used.

Enamelled cast iron

Exterior cosmetic marks do not necessarily affect cooking. Significant chips or damage on the food-contact surface require closer assessment according to manufacturer guidance.

Warped cookware

A pan that rocks badly on a flat hob may heat unevenly and can be especially problematic on induction or ceramic surfaces.

Loose handles

Loose handles are a safety issue. Tighten or repair them only according to the manufacturer's design; replace cookware when the attachment cannot be made secure.
