How long do nonstick coatings really last?

Reviewer consensus

Across r/cookware, r/BuyItForLife, and expert commentary, the recurring number is roughly 3–5 years of regular use before any nonstick coating — including premium hard-anodized lines like All-Clad HA1 and T-Fal Ultimate — meaningfully degrades. Hand-washing, avoiding metal utensils, and keeping heat at medium or below extend that lifespan.
