do these utensils have a varnish on them as some reviews stated? In the description it says there are no toxic dyes or colors, is it all natural?

It isn't a varnish. They use mineral oil to make them shine and seal them. After time you will need to use mineral oil to redo it to seal it after washing them and cooking them. I love mine have had no issues. I will say I am having to do the mineral oil in a few days. I do use them more than any other cooking utensils.

Yes, they are natural colored. I have had these chairs for almost 6 months and have had no issues. I bought 4 sets of them. Great for the price.

I think they're 100% stainless but there are different grades of stainless and some stain easier than others. Personally, I don't mind patina on cookware. If I'm using pots and pans for cooking, I expect this. I buy to cook on them, not to display like a museum.

Hi, The set I bought is all shiny, not seeing any brushed. This silverware is very sturdy and durable. Holds up in dishwasher. Heavier weight & great for everyday use or special occasions. I bought a set for 8 then turned around & bought another set for 4. The best I've used in 58 years of life. Hope this helps you. P.S. Well worth the money.

We just hand wash them with dish soap and water. We have not had any issues with tarnishing, and have had some for several years!

No. The chopsticks are made of different kind of woods and the colors are natural. I use them everyday and the colors don't wear of.

My Mother has had these knives for a couple years, always put them through the dishwasher, and they're just as sharp (or, at least, not noticeably dull) as the day they were first purchased. I have yet to see them rust either. Hope that helps!

I have not any issues with them. Dishwasher safe, spatula has a beveled edge, and the rest of the utensils work great.

Yes they are. I'm a happy , been using for over a year now. Half of the stuff in this package are used almost daily, so far they are like new. Best part, unlike few other anodized cookware, these are dishwasher safe. It's bit pricy, but over a period of at least 10 years it'll payoff. Cook & eat healthy, stay away from Teflon.

I bought these for a gift so haven't used them myself - and surprisingly they didn't come with washing instructions - but I would wash them with dish soap and towel dry. I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher just to be safe. The box says they're lacquered to resist tarnishing.

Yes they seem to be covered in a lacquer finish. I put them in dishwasher before using.

No. These dishes are beautiful and do not scratch. They are fine in the dishwasher too. They are not as bright or turquoise as shown but more natural looking, like a stone wash. We are very happy with them.

I have many of the Nordic Ware pans and have never had rust. I have however had some of my pans put in the dishwasher, and that seems to discolor them a bit. Not rust, more of a gray blotchy dull tone. I love the weight of these pans and I have to say they are very easy to clean...food sticking has not been a problem. Hope this helps.

I saw they are advertised as natural finish. It doesn't look like lacquer on them. Maybe they are finished to a high gloss or conditioned with a natural oil? I would check with the manufacturer if you need to know for sure. I love them and have used them everyday. They are very durable.

Yes. They have a nice shine. The "bowl" of the spoons is somewhat larger than other teaspoons I have. I would say that is the main difference. I am pleased with them.

Staining was a non-issue for me. They dry quickly on a paper towel and there were no blue stains on my fingers when I held it to rinse under the water. And what I set on top of it to keep it flat did not stain either.
