Please tell me if you have found the cookware durable. Does the no stick surface scratch easily? Thanks for your time in advance!

It is a great product. I have been using every day since I bought. Even my husband complimented this purchase. Better than non stick. Easy to clean. but use only wooden or non stick utensils in it.

I've had mine since April and think they are great. Although they are white, I've had no issue with staining, which was something that concerned me when I first got them. I also haven't had any issues with scratching, but I'm very careful not to use metal utensils with them, and I don't stack them directly on top of each other. I just put thin towels between them for storage. Overall, I'm very pleased with this set and would recommend purchasing them.

It has been for me, but I always hand wash the pans and use plastic utensils.

We've had ours for less than a year and several of the pots have chips. Also, the pans are not really non-stick anymore. And finally, the handles are loose on both pans. We were very pleased with this set for about 2 months but now we know we got what we paid for: cheap.

I have had mine for 18 months. I rarely use anything metal in them. I use a pair of tongs to flip bacon, and the gentle use of a fork, but that's rare. I use a scratchy sponge to clean the cookset. I did wear out my largest pan in about 6 -8 months or so. However I cooked in it no less then once a day. We cook grits and eggs EVERY morning, and I cooked in it almost every evening. So it got a TON of use before I wore it out.

Yes! We love it. My husband uses it more than I do now! It is the best cookware we have purchased and was very inexpensive. It arrived on time and we were very impressed. It is as good as new still. :-) you can not go wrong buying this. I was surprised with how great it was and I have been disappointed in much more expensive cookware.

Only had them for a month and the bottoms are pitting and the ceramic is chipping off where the handles are fastened to the inside of the pan.

We have had the set for 1.5 years. My wife will tell you that our two under-six yo children contribute to most of the scratches with tossing their silverware in the sink, while the pots are in there and then setting their dishes on top of them. But for normal wear & tear on them; as long as you use the silicone or ceramic utensiles on them, you should see no scratches. The coating on the inside of the pots and pans is very easy to clean as well- usually only takes a quick swipe of a dish rag to pull most substances off the inside surface.

So far we have had no problems with scratching, When using my cast iron pans I do use extra caution and only use them on low and medium temps. The stainless steel pots and pans which we use most have not left any scratches or marks. Any splashes or spill overs have been easy to clean with Weiman Glass top cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Hope this helps

It is great on a glass top stove. I have a glass top and this cookware does not scratch it at all. You can boil, use stove on high setting and no harm at all. It is the only cookware I will use on such a delicate stovetop. Don"t be afraid to use this--but as the other reviewer says--the non-stick coating comes off way too easily even when extremely careful.

I have had mine for over a year. The non-stick surface has just come off in a couple of spots inside recently. A little disappointed, as I do use it often. Mainly for cooking pasta, making spaghetti sauce, etc.

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.

Yes, it has a great non-stick surface. I was concerned that it would not hold up when I use the wok at the highest setting (Sear) but so far after a year it still looks good. (Its a little discolored, but no peeling or failure of the coating)

Hi, Amna - I've only used it in stainless steel pots, so I can't promise it won't scratch non-stick pots. I love it though. I bought one for all my friends and they rave about it too. J....

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!!

Our cooker is only a year old so have not had this problem. The finish appears to be quite durable but metal utensils would probably scratch the finish.

It does scratch some, nothing really bad. It comes with grates and I keep them in. I do wish I had gone for the single sink, because large pots fit but they can be snug and that is what causes my scratches.

I only use silicone or nylon cooking utensils. This cookware is extremely durable. I've had mine for quite a while now and not a scratch so far. I bought 3 rubber sink liners at a dollar store and use them as pan protectors between the 3 frying pans I have since they're used every day and I keep them stacked on my stove top. These pans are really great for cooking anything you want. Treat them good and they will cook your food without the chemicals that are in the usual non stick pans. I wrote reviews about these pans you might want to read too. Hope this helps.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

It's a non issue with this cookware. Main gripe for me is they do not seem to fully clean after cooking. Smells seem to stay stuck on the Teflon? I think that's more of an issue with non stick cookware in general though.

I have the green, i have plenty of scratches, but its not down the metal yet. Its a lighter green where it is scrathed. As far a easily scratched, not so much. My stove top is cast iron, so i knew it would scratch no matter what. And i also use them in the dishwasher. They hold upalot better than most sets ive owned

Hello Irene,I can't speak from a professional nor scientific standpoint, but personally I don't care for the way that teflon coatings peel and flake-off over time... So I made the switch to ceramic and love it! I no longer have to worry about my cookware losing its 'nonstick' appeal rapidly.

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
