Saw some comments about this set getting easily scratched... Can you comment? Sorry - should have clarified that I was asking about scratches to the outside of the pots &amp; pans. Lots of comments on the Macy's website indicated that they get easily...

We've had our set for a month. I am a little more careful with this set then I have been with pots and pans in the past. I try not to use metal utensils on them. The pans and potsare really pretty sturdy. I'm not worried.

Hi ASC...I've had 3 sets of this dinnerware & though I don't use it for everyday, I have had no problem at all with scratches and mine are now about 4 years old. I do take care when I stack them but have never put any covering between. They are nicely heavy (I like that, some may not) so I suspect if one wasn't careful they might cause some damage, but I would think it would have to be from pretty harsh handling. I have been delighted with my sets & quite enjoy using them from time to time & especially at Christmas (that's why I got 3 sets). So far I've never had a piece chipped, cracked, or broken. And by the way, I'm in my 70's and can lift them just fine but if I was going to have a group of older folks to entertain, I would not use them to entertain buffet style. I find them lovely as do my company. No matter how attractive & fancy some of the paper or plastic plates are, I find they are generally not sturdy enough for other than picnics or backyard outings. Hope yours works as well for you as they have for me! Rh

We have a stainless refrig, stove and dishwasher and have not incurred any damage. Scratching would probably be unlikely...denting might just depend on how aggressively your LO drives�.

My experience is that the silverware does slide around a bit when the drawer is opened or closed. I have not, though, experienced any scratches.

I have found that it scratches quite easily. I chose not to use the bottom rack because I like to be able to wash down the bottom with soap and a sponge. At first it bothered me, the scratches, but I've accepted them now and enjoy the sink and it still looks very nice. I've decided a sink is not going to look as great as the fridge, range, dishwasher, microwave because it is much more hard working. I would purchase again.

I always use the soft side of the sponge so I don't scratch the surface. BUT!!! Two of my pans have the protective coating peeling off even though I have been SUPER careful with these pans. I don't think they are a good product; I won't buy them again.

I've had mine for over a year and I do not see any scratches on them. I don't have small children so I don't know if that would be an issue or not. I hope that helps!

Hi Arwen. We have not yet used this is non stick pots, mostly we have used it in the cup which comes along with and it is very handy and effective. Everyday My wife keeps telling me how good it is. Having said that, i think there is a strong possibility that there will be scratches on non-stick coating pots!!

I've used these pots and pans for about a year and a half. I remember the instructions saying that they were not dishwasher safe. They're easy enough to clean that you really don't need the dishwasher anyway. They're a breeze. ... But I do admit that I have thrown them in the dishwasher more than once and they're fine. The copper color is fading on one of my lids - could that be to the dishwasher? perhaps. They're also well over a year old so it could just be normal wear and tear but I honestly love this set and love the color. A LOT! :)

It says not to use on stainless steel appliances as some finishes may scratch. I use them on my stainless steel pots and other material dishes and cookware all the time. I have not noticed any scratching

I've been using them for a month and I don't see a single scratch mark from silverware. I use 18/10 flatware though. Perhaps the softer flatware would make marks.

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

I bought my wife a set a year ago, and I had always wished I got two sets, so I went on here a got her the matching set. The year old set looks as good as the new set. We have a Electric stove also and we haven't had any problems with it scratching.

I have brand new pans for 1 year and not even a scratch. She handwashes and uses nylon utensils. Hangs them from a rack. Tried many brands and settled on Circulon Infinite. Cooks on Glass and Induction tops. They are a little heavier and take a little longer to heat up but worth it.

The cobalt blue scratches VERY easily. Mine have been barely used during the 3 weeks that I have owned them & they are absolutely covered in scratches. It's such a shame, because they are otherwise beautiful dishes.

many including myself have found the inner pot to quickly (in some months) get fine bubbles, blister widely and possibly peel into the food. a replacement is about the cost of a new cooker and nothing is interchangeable if not still made. I never used any metal or scratchy cleaner but I saw how my family ruined pots with them. the damage is different, scratches and fleck, not the spontaneous blistering for following all the instructions.
