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

in my opinion...it is definitely a nice set and priced well below others of the same like Paula Dean and Rachel Ray..However - when we received the items the stock pot was damaged with a dent. THe packaging was fine so it didnt happen during shipping. My wife has been in contact with the distributor and is not impressed with them. They wanted a picture of the damaged item, so she took one with her iphone and sent it to them. They replied with 'the picture isnt good enough, send another' she refused and they in turn escalated the matter. Whomever she spoke with next said that the picture was good enough and they would be contacting her about sending a replacement to her. That was last week - she sent another email the other day and I have yet to hear the results of that. So purchase at your own risk unfortunately. She does like the set very much but is not impressed with their customer service.

I ordered mine a couple months ago. I have had no problems and love it. It makes wonderful coffee. The porcelain is fine on both pieces. The lid is perfectly fine and the safety nubs hold it nicely when tipped...if you turn them so they aren't aligned with the spots used to insert the lid into the pot. I am just waiting for amazon to carry it again so I can order s backup. Don't want to pay the shipping from the other supplier. Hope you enjoy as much as I do if you order!

Well, I've had my sets for about 8 years now, but you can't tell I've had them that long; no scratches, no chips, no burnt marks no nothing. I have burnt vegetables to black charcoal inside my pots several times, it peels right off after soaking the pot in hot soapy water overnight. There is no non-stick coating on this line of cook ware. People are mistaken. It's all made together in one piece, made of a special type of material that's non-stick, it's not a coating like Teflon. So there is no peeling or scraping off. I use my skillets, pots on a regular basis. There is a possibility for the pots, pans or skillets to chip, but it's gotta be from something really hard, that caused the chipping and if it chips you can see the metal all the way through. On one of my orders the skillet was chipped, so I sent it right back and received another. No matter what your this line of bake ware is always replaceable with the company, despite when or where you purchased it.

I bought mine with a chip in the enamel from a reputable, discount home store a few years back. The chip is probably why it was at that store with a discount. I haven't noticed the chip getting any bigger, but I've also hardly used it and it mostly sits on the stove as decor.

@TJL Bates: I bought this set when I was forced to change my cookware because we transitioned to an induction cooktop. I have been nothing but thrilled (and I'm an avid home chef)! I use metal utensils all the time with this cookware! Admittedly, I avoided doing so at first, but eventually habit and mindlessness took over. I've seen some superficial marks on the cookware immediately after cooking, but nothing significant that didn't also come off after cleaning. If you like your cookware to look brand new after lots of use, then maybe avoid metal utensils, but if you're just asking for durability of everyday use I think you'll be very happy with this cookware set, however you may use it! BTW- make the very small investment in a bottle of Bartender's Friend (an excellent Stainless Steel cleaner if you're not familiar) and practically anything you do to this or any other cookware will virtually disappear.

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.

I wouldn't be able to answer that, I have this set as display only. My daughter has moved it around a bit and it has not chipped or cracked yet. However she has not been to harsh on it yet. I am so sorry I may not be too much help. The set is very pretty and I like it a lot but I only bought it for show.

This Dishware is oven and dishwasher safe. I use it for my "everyday" set. Have had no problem with chipping.

I have used mine at work, everyday since December 2013, dropped it and banged it around a couple of times and no chipping!! There is a small dent though :/

I only just purchased mine a few weeks ago, but they seem very sturdy. Very thick bottoms and love to non stick ceramic coating!

I use mine almost every day since I bought it in February of 2013. I love it, mine has not chipped or peeled. I wash the pan by hand, with mild gentle soap, never in the dishwasher. Is yours still under warranty? If it is, I would call the Zojirushi Company. Explain to them what happened and ask for a replacement pan. Good Luck! Hope this helps. Thanks!

Wooooow. Sorry to hear that. Mine is still holding up well and it was purchased w/a deep discount because it was slightly damaged. Good luck in your quest for answers.

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

I will answer on Sunday when I get back from vacation. The set is great except the interior pattern on the smaller plates looks like the plate is not clean and we feel we have to explain to guests that is only the pattern. You should be able to see the pattern larger on the ad for selling it. I think this pattern is unique because the pattern I described will be a turn off for many. BT

Nope! Using this set everyday and no black marks or scratches of any kind. These are amazingly durable. I have issues with my hands and have dropped these, banged other things into them... Not a chip or crack to be found! The stoneware seems to be of high quality.

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.
