FAQs about Lifetime Guaranteed Products
Which options are truly buy-it-for-life in your lifetime guaranteed collection?
The most truly buy-it-for-life products in our lifetime guaranteed collection are made from ultra-durable materials like stainless steel, cast iron, or solid hardwood. These are the things that get cosier with age, not creakier. Many come with free lifetime repair or replacement guarantees, and some - like Johnstons knitwear - offer expert re-darning for life. We look for decades of reliable use, repairable design, and glowing long-term reviews. You can read more about our research process to see how we put these claims to the test.
How do I care for products with a lifetime guarantee?
To care for products with a lifetime guarantee, treat them kindly - even if they’re tough as old boots. Read the maker’s care guide, clean gently, and store items sensibly. For cast iron, dry thoroughly after washing. For stainless steel, skip the harsh scourers. Many items are repairable too, so check if spare parts or services are available. Caring well not only keeps things ticking along, it preserves your warranty too. Find more tips in our Product Care & Repair blog hub.
What’s the best way to clean a stainless steel frying pan?
The best way to clean a stainless steel frying pan is with warm water, washing-up liquid, and a soft sponge - simple does it. For stuck-on bits, soak the pan or simmer a splash of vinegar in water, then scrub gently. Avoid steel wool, unless you fancy a scratched-up finish. With the right care, stainless steel pans can stay gleaming for decades, and many in our collection come with a lifetime guarantee.
Can I put my frying pan in the oven?
Yes, you can put many frying pans in the oven - but check the handle first. Pans made from cast iron or full stainless steel are usually oven-safe up to 260°C or more. If the handle’s wooden or plastic, steer clear. Oven-safe pans turn a basic pan fry into a bake-and-finish masterpiece (and spare you some washing up). Browse our oven-proof cookware collection for long-lasting options.
How do I season a cast iron frying pan properly?
To season a cast iron frying pan properly, start with a good wash and thorough dry. Rub a thin layer of neutral oil (like flaxseed or rapeseed) all over - yes, even the handle. Pop it upside down in the oven at 200°C for an hour, with foil on the lower rack to catch drips. Repeat 2–3 times for a strong, slick finish. This natural non-stick layer protects against rust and only gets better with age. For step-by-step help, see our blog on how to season your new cast iron skillet.
What’s the best frying pan for everyday cooking?
The best frying pan for everyday cooking depends on what and how you cook, but reliability is key. Stainless steel pans offer consistent heat and fuss-free upkeep. Cast iron holds onto heat brilliantly and doubles as an oven roaster. Look for lifetime warranties and repairable parts - they’re the unsung heroes of cost-per-use. Explore our durable cookware collection for pans you’ll never need to replace.
How do I clean a burnt pan without damaging it?
To clean a burnt pan without damaging it, make a paste of bicarbonate of soda and a splash of water, then let it sit for 15–30 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft sponge and a little elbow grease. If it’s still clinging on, boil equal parts water and vinegar in the pan, cool, then scrub again. Avoid metal scourers - they can wreck some finishes faster than you can say “whoops.” Patience really does win the day here.
