Hi all, Im looking for a ceramic set. If anyone has owned this WearEver set for quite awhile, can you tell me how its holding up. Is the ceramic still in good shape...no chipping..no bubbles,etc...Also some sets don't suggest you "nest" them but my limited cabinet space might force me to. Has "nesting" work for those who have done it? Thankx for any replies. Hi all, Im looking for a ceramic set.

Works like a charm, I bought it for my mother, and she uses it every day for every meal, great buy.

I have had my set for a couple of years - no chipping, no bubbles, and super easy to clean. I nest my pans, so I bought a set of cookware protectors like these just in case but have had no issues when I bumped the pans together ( Range Kleen Cookware Protectors, Set of 3

I have had mine for about 6 months and LOVE them. They wash so easily and have not chipped or scratched at all. I try not to nest them but I have at times. I have also put something in between at times.

Hi Robert! I bought this set 4-6 months ago and they are holding up well so far. My mom also bought a set about 3 months ago and hers are holding up as well. She has limited cupboard space too, so she puts a paper towel between each pan to protect it from the bottom of the one stacked inside of it (simple cheap solution). Hope this helps!

I bought a set for both my daughter & my daughter-in-law. They use them as the only pans they have and they both say they have changed their lives. Love, Love, Love them and don't want anything else ever. They are holding up good with no scratches or anything and they do nest them in the cabinet.

From the research I have done. I feel it is. The ceramic does not chip off. I love ,y WearEver and will continue to use it all the time

It has dawned on me that maybe the reason you aren't getting good results...is old porcelain layered on metal. It may have worn thru to base ?Just a reminder that sinks are one of our least expensive items to replace in kitchen :) Un-less you desire one of those top of the line "farm sinks".Anyway, good luck...just thoughts I wanted to share.

I don't have the, it was a gift. I do have others and I am careful about nesting. I protect the non stick inner surface when I nest. My shallow pans I place a paper plate between the nested pans. Deeper pans t use a clean towel. Just "food for thought".

It is not recommended. They are so easy to hand wash, I don't mind. I quests the ceramic could get scratched in the dishwasher. I love them.

I really enjoy my teapot and cups. I have experienced minor paint chipping on the cups, but no problems with the enamel - I am guessing my issues come from storing my set on top of the refridgerator where there is constant heat. No issues with taste.

Hi... yes we have it oudoors and it's holding up very well. So far, I love this set.

I have 1bowl and 1plate that has a chip in it. The plate happened during shipment and the bowl from the dishwasher. I've had my set for almost a year I think and those are the only 2 mishaps. I love my dishes.

We haven't used it for anything but imaginative play ( no real food so we haven't washed them ) so can't answer this question honestly ! If u are planing on using with water though , personally would go with their ceramic sets , equally as pretty .

No, quite the opposite, the kitchen has held up extremely well. It's great quality, well made. The material used isn't really prone to scratches or chips, so I wouldn't worry about that.

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.

I have had my set for a couple of years now and it still looks like new. I have never burned anything in it and it can clean up with just a wipe of a paper towel. I would rank this set up there among more expensive brands. I would highly recommend this set for your friend.

I bought the whole thing, right here on Amazon, what happened to the tower? I admit I don't use mine very often, but am pretty gentle cleaning it. Have you tried a kitchen store or writing to Rival itself? Questions...

I have not had mine over a year BUT I am replying because I love mine. Even if it only lasted 6 months, I would buy it again. It keeps the kitchen looking nice and tidy.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

I have a ceramic cooktop and I use the hard-anondized set...black with orange trim...no problems whatsoever so far. Have been using for 4 months or so. And yes, I have been setting hot pans on cool cooktop...so sticking, no gooey messes, nothing wrong!I can see how the colored cookware sets would be a problem, however...as they are not the same material on the outside...so be careful of that!

No, I recall there being many reviews for this item and avidly reading them all at the time. (I purchased this item years ago and it is still ''like new".) Now, I seem to have a vague memory of the Instructions actually stating ''not intended for ceramic cooktop". I do not know if an induction cooktop is the same as a an induction cooktop. Really, it would be worth it to ask amazon, go to the "Help" section and select for them to call you, or you can e-mail them, or chat with amazon. I have, many times, relied on amazon.com to find out information of all sorts for me, Robert L., so don't believe all our opinions. We might all be wrong, or there might be another product perfect for you. cvsk12 No, I recall there being many reviews for this item and avidly reading them all at the time.
