Is Calphalon One's nonstick coating guaranteed to last 25-30 years,
with a "bring it back to the store for a replacement, no questions asked"
guarantee? IIRC, when I looked into it when it first came out, the
answer was "no" to at least part of that question.

I haven't used C1... have a few pieces of Calphalon's Commercial and
Professional Nonstick, and... well, they stick. Badly. If you follow
their directions on how to use the nonstick, you could use almost *any*
pan and the food wouldn't stick, so the "follow the instructions"
argument isn't really valid either.

(and C1 *seems* a lot like other anodized-aluminum pans, kinda light
and dent-prone... anyone know differently?)
