Despite repeatedly telling Mrs D [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] to put the non-stick pans into the dishwasher, chronic abuse means they're now coating-less. Can these be repaired? Can anyone recommend a technique/company? I hate throwing things away.
Cheers,

Bin and get tefal ones from Debenhams. Hth
Bin and get Le Creuset - you won't scratch the surface off them.
+1 I'm afraid its a disposable society we live in. Wang it in the metal recycling so its not a total catastrophe.
Some people (not me) used cast iron frying pans seasoned with hot oil to make them non stick. Never worked for me with a griddle pad and deffo not dishwasher proof!
Dunelm Mill do some very reasonably priced but decent quality non-stick gear. Or Lakeland.

We have some "Jamie Oliver" Tefal which have a dishwasher-proof non-stick that has lasted pretty well for six years now.
Sadly they forgot to make the outside coating dishwasher-proof too so they look scabby as hell. 🙁
I always wash our non stick pans in the dishwasher, and it doesn't seem to have done them any harm at all.
wouldn't it have been a better idea to wash them for you wife as i assume she cooks all the meals for you.
I cook, Mrs D cleans.
I'm not really aware of any kind of utensil that isn't either rendered functionally useless or just plain ugly by being put in a dishwasher. They just destroy things. The trick is not to own one.
If its an otherwise good pan then if you stop sticking it in the washer, do a bit of fierce cooking with it and old non-stick pans start to season like an old-school skillet.
Everything used for cooking goes in the dishwasher, and if it doesn't survive it gets lobbed with a mental note not to buy another one.
