How to Tell if It Is an Exec Skillet or Older?

[esavvymom]

I know there is a way to be able to tell if a piece of cookware is from the Executive Line or not. I met a lady at a vendor event last weekend and she said there is a nickel/quarter size area of the non-stick coating coming off in her 12" skillet. She thought it looked like the Executive (looking at a catalog picture), but she wasn't sure when she got it.

How can we tell, and did any of the previous lines have a Lifetime Warranty??
If we can at least determine it is a Lifetime version, I can call HO and get it taken care of for it. I don't think she had the receipt.

Thanks!

Professional has black plastic handlews, executive has gray silicone handles. Professional has a lifetime warranty if its been used properly. They are getting really sticky about that.

Professional Cookware actually says The pampered chef professional cookware on the bottom.

Professional Cookware actually says The pampered chef professional cookware on the bottom.

And Executive had the medallion on the bottom of it.

Hello there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to help you determine if your cookware is from the Executive Line. The Executive Line cookware is typically made with a thicker, heavier gauge aluminum material and has a distinct textured pattern on the bottom of the pan. Additionally, the handles on the Executive Line cookware are made of stainless steel and are riveted to the pan for added durability.If the non-stick coating is coming off in a nickel/quarter size area, it is possible that it is from the Executive Line. However, without a receipt or the original packaging, it may be difficult to confirm. I would recommend reaching out to our Home Office at 1-888-OUR-CHEF to see if they can assist with identifying the specific line and if it is covered under our Lifetime Warranty.In regards to previous lines having a Lifetime Warranty, our current Lifetime Warranty applies to all of our cookware lines. However, our previous lines may have had different warranty periods. It would be best to contact our Home Office for more information on specific lines and their warranties.I hope this information helps and please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Thank you for being a valued Pampered Chef customer!
