An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life.
Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull.
If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying
No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting.
Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Two or three years, it’s a major brand, I don’t want to drop the name since I don’t think it’s representative/everything else we have from them is excellent.
2-3 years of heavy use I’d bet 50/50 it’s your fault the enamel chipped, not theirs … and I mean that without any shade just if anything you’re bound to have some something.
So from my end that’s not an indictment, but I get where you’re coming from.
If they wanna replace it let us know then?
I don’t use any metal on it, what am I missing?
Did you ever pour any cold liquids in it when it was really hot?
Nope.
Only other thing I can think of (since you already said you didn’t use metal utensils) is that something stuck to the enamel and pulled off a chip. It’s not very common, but some kinds of chemical bonds with glass can be strong enough to break the glass when pulled away (enamel is a type of glass).
The tensile strength of glass varies dramatically and randomly based on invisible defects. That may be what happened here.
nothing, just something coulda happened somewhere in the years you’ve had it.
It’s not uncommon. I literally meant no shade my dude.
Okay, totally read that as shade lol
Not meant that way at all, I take care of all my stuff but everyone else wants to ruin it, filthy hobbitses
I assume you live similarly
Do you stack your cookware up in the cupboard? Potentially without a felt separator between each?
Not the Dutch oven
For pans we have felt dividers. They’re great!
Just like Frosted Flakes?
(I think we found Tony's Lemmy account.)
Listen here you little pipsqweek
I am the reason the other tigers have fake eyes on the backs of their heads. I am eternal. I am the one who crunches.
If you mention this to anyone I might have to add a human skin rug next to my tiger skin rug.
My Dutch ovens and other enamelware get put away with lids on so they can’t be stacked.
My son still finds a way …
